"To say this complicates the Obama administration's diplomatic outreach is to put it mildly. This administration -- in fairness, not unlike the last few years of the Bush administration -- seems prepared to make an endless series of concessions to Tehran in order to secure a peaceful resolution of the nuclear issue. Yet despite these repeated overtures, the Iranians refuse to budge even an inch and instead make announcements of more centrifuges and new missiles. Now they're launching airstrikes in Iraq."

Iran hitting targets inside of Iraq? Obama is going to cause another WW. This is just another 'sign' of coming attractions.
Obammy needs to try stern language/sarc
We’ll run to the UN, that will show them!
Me, I would bomb Kharg Island, and tell them the bombing stops when they destroy the nukes.
But that’s just me.

As always, where is Hillary!? This stuff IS her area of concern. This IS her new ‘pay grade.’
Hag.
Just break out the old Clinton playbook:
“You’d better behave, or by golly, I’ll warn you again!”
This isn’t news man, we got swine flu here !!!! /sarc
Looks like Reuters did the obligatory ‘report’.

I was gone most of the day yesterday, so might have missed any reporting on the matter. Sorry if it has already been posted.
Hillary's area hasn't been a concern for anybody in decades.
Just ask them nicely and they will unclinch that fist for us.
Turkey has also been using air and ground troops inside Iraq. These attacks are directed at the Kurds who are in Iraq, Turkey, and Iran. There is a long history surrounding “Kurdistan” and the desire of some Kurds to have a separate country. There have been Kurdish raids from inside Iraq into Iran and Turkey.
LOL!
Notice this happened over the weekend, Obama is manipulating the entire media with “fake monster panic news stories” because things are either going horrible wrong, or what he is doing would be seen as horribly wrong, but either way, the leftist media is providing cover by tossing bread and circuses to the idiot masses ...
Why hasn’t Obammie made a statement yet?
It’s way past 3:00 AM.
i saw this reported the other day and was thinking the same thing - why isn’t the MSM all over this?
This is what happens when you show weakness. Carter, welcome back
Oh Obummer...
Give them land for peace.
Yeah, but why muddy up the water with context?
Hey, it's only the Kurds, so it's not nearly as important as Obama's burger meal yesterday.
</SARCASM>
Thanks. I know some of the history. Frankly, I have always liked the Kurds...becaused they helped our troops and are not Islamist radicals.
i saw this reported the other day and was thinking the same thing - why isn’t the MSM all over this?
The Kurds, AFAIK, are the “Medes” of the “Medo-Persion empire”
they’re still trying to come up with a way to blame Bush while Obama drafts his apology.
Good point. Looks like Obama is trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq. Bombings increasing everyday..now Iran and Turkey acting out. The Arab League is now upset over the Iranian bombings:

Looks like things are going to hell in a handbasket over there and the American media is trying to hide it from the American people to protect ZERO!
but do YOU care. you are basing your caring on whether OTHERS care. You should have your OWN opinion of whether you care, regardless of what has happened before.
You’re British right?
Hell, Oboma probably funded it. Oboma was born and raised a radical Muslim.
Oboma is forcing Sharia law on our banks and auto industry right now as we type. Check out sharia banking for yourself.
If he's not pro-Radical Islam, then nether is Osoma Bin Ladin.
Even the Shah of Iran attacked the Kurds.
I would not call having US troops protecting the airspace over that part of Iraq for over a decade, ‘not caring’.
Speaking out against their Messiah would be blasphemy (and that's not meant to be a joke).
Iran should have been a sea of glass a long time ago.

Thanks for the post. The wiki link on Medes is informative.
I would not call having US troops protecting the airspace over that part of Iraq for over a decade, ‘not caring’.
I think Obama will probably have to resort to sending a strongly worded letter now.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Even though Iraq has called for complete US withdrawal very soon, attacks are increasing in the country and Iran will do everything it can to destabilize the Iraq government so Iran can take it over which is just one part of their plan of dominance in the entire Middle East. Destruction of Israel will follow or precede that move.
Iran, N Korea, China, Russia... All doing as they please.
What? War when Messiah Obama is prez? Can’t be! /sarc
Hello.
This is Barack.
Michelle and I can't come to the phone right now.
But we have specific mailboxes for you to leave us a message.
If you are a community organizer and need batteries for your GPS to mark the houses of right-wing zealots, Press 1.
If you are a union head and need us to buyout your company and make you the principal stockholder, Press 2.
If you are a rogue nation and wish to report your bombing of another country, Press 3 for a sternly worded reprimand of your actions.
If you are a Saudi Prince, Press any number my Master.
Besides, Obie-the-one is too busy giving away our money in bailouts. And certainly, Iraq has to fail so he can blame it on Bush.
Mark my words: Bibi is going to take out Iran. The Obama administration is embarking on a course of isolationg Israel and claiming the Jewish state is the cause of the problems in the Islamic world. Rather than seeing Iran as the problem, Obama sees Israel as the real threat.
But history shows you don’t back Israel into a corner and expect to get away with it.
With this administration, what you hear or read from the news is irrelevant. It's all a distraction.What's really important is what's going on behind the curtain.
It doesn't matter what the talking heads say. It's what they do that matters most.
“There have been Kurdish raids from inside Iraq into Iran and Turkey.”
Someone enlighten me....did the Kurdish attack the Iranians first??
Sorry....I am out of the loop on this one...
but do YOU care. you are basing your caring on whether OTHERS care. You should have your OWN opinion of whether you care, regardless of what has happened before.
You’re British right?
btw. No i´m not british. I´m from Austria.
Got a dr. appt in an hour, no time to read whole article—is this something that has ACTUALLY happened, or is it one of those “someday soon this is going to happen!” kind of story?
Haven’t heard a word yet either, but I don’t get my news from the MSM...
I’m sure HolyO will be ‘gravely concerned’ and issue a ‘tersely worded letter of condemnation’ to Iran over this, right after he accepts Ahmmagonnahaveajihad’s invitation to visit Tehran!
LOL!
This calls for an immediate application of Obama’s primary expertise: “community organizing”.
I met Kurdish troops first hand-—they are our friends..That was the only time I felt comfortable without my weapon and impact vest.
