The Iraqi government is urging the Bush administration to pressure Turkey to halt its six-day offensive into northern Iraq. Thousands of Turkish troops, backed by air support, entered last week in the largest cross-border ground offensive into Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein. The Turkish government accuses the PKK of using northern Iraq as a base to launch attacks inside Turkey. Turkeys says it’s killed more than a hundred Kurdish militants. The Wall Street Journal reports the Turkish government briefed the White House on its plans well in advance of launching the invasion, including a personal conversation between President Bush and Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan. US officials say they raised no objections.
