THE Bush Administration is considering air strikes, including cruise missiles, against the Kurdish rebel group PKK in northern Iraq.Â
The move would be an attempt to stave off a Turkish invasion of that country to fight the rebels. President George Bush spoke with Turkish President Abdullah Gul by phone yesterday in an effort to ease the crisis.Â
And  Prime Minister John Howard says the tensions on the Turkey-Iraq border will not help the west’s battle for democracy in Iraq.Â
Mr Howard said there was some recent evidence that US forces were making headway in their battle against al-Qaeda in Iraq following the US troop surge.
“There is some evidence in recent weeks that the surge has been more successful than many of its critics wanted it to be or believe it would be,” Mr Howard told an army land warfare conference in Adelaide today.

Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of what passes for Congressional leadership have perfected their criminal enterprise. Every act of treachery is followed by lame excuses for inaction. The truly spineless ones, progressives wallowing in denial, foolishly whine, asking each other what is wrong when the answer stares them in the face. The Democratic party is complicit in killing democracy.
“Civil liberties groups and antiwar groups must finally realize that they can only play a role in movement politics.”
