BTW, what will/do the Kurds hope to get out of all this?? Think a Kurdistan is likely...?

Apparently, the Kurds are in favor of U.S. intervention but fearful of troop support from the Turkish because, as Max noted, that area has been a point of contention between the Iraqis, Turks and separatist Kurds for quite a while. In response to this ambiguity, Mr. Powell gave the, I think, definitive response that they are going to try to maintain the integrity of the current Iraqi-Turkey border "as is". I guess we'll see.
