                              that entailed a US "win" in the Iraq quagmire. And 
                              it would not flinch to leave its Turkish North 
                              Atlantic Treaty Organization allies in the 
                              wilderness as well - if that entailed further

                              double-crossing scenarios will inevitably take 
                              place. Washington simply cannot have its kebab and 
                              eat it too.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/IK02Ak01.html">The US and Israeli 
                              establishment regards Hezbollah as a group of evil 
                              super-terrorists. But the PKK consists of just 
                              "minor" terrorists, and very useful ones at that, 
                              since the US Central Intelligence Agency is 
                              covertly financing and arming the PJAK (Party for 
                              Free Life in Kurdistan), the Iranian arm of the 
                              PKK, whose mission is to "liberate" parts of 
                              northwest Iran.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/IK02Ak01.html">Not accidentally, the new 
                              PKK overdrive coincides with US - and also Israeli
