WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S., Turkish and Iraqi leaders all held talks Monday about Kurdish rebels using northern Iraq as a launchpad for cross-border attacks into Turkey.
President Bush chatted by phone with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, while separately two senior Iraq national government figures met with the head of the country's Kurdish region.
The diplomatic moves came after Turkish warplanes pounded Kurdish separatist targets in northern Iraq on Saturday and Sunday as well as last week.
Bush and Erdogan talked about the dangers of the Kurdish separatist rebels along the Turkish-Iraqi border, the White House confirmed.
National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said they discussed their common efforts to fight terrorism, and the importance of the United States, Turkey and Iraq working together to confront the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.
Bush has vowed to help Turkey fight PKK rebels.

This is good. Pelosi’s staffers when in Syria meet with the PKK. They were working on causing problems with the Iraq War by causing problems with our relations with Turkey. Looks like Bush is putting a stop to it, along with Turkey. Good Job, Mr. President. Out foxed the traitor speaker and staffers...again...;o)
For some reason...I don’t see any success in the PKK talking with the Turks. Neither side will accept the other, and this mess in northern Iraq...will eventually help in splitting the country.
