Turkey getting US intelligence on Kurds (AP)

Pentagon officials are now starting to say publicly that the U.S. is flying manned spy planes over the border area, providing Turkey with more intelligence information, and that there are standing orders for American forces to capture rebels they find.

Turkey fears that Iraqi Kurds could set up an independent Kurdish state — Barzani has set that as his ultimate goal — in a move that could fuel separatist sentiments within Turkey.

Comment: Ethiopia is an ally in the war on terror and the US must not invite separatist terrorists to Washington and threaten the stability in Ethiopia. They must learn from the war in Iraq. Ethiopia is one of the most complex countries in the world with over 80 nationalities and the West must be cautious when dealing with extremists and separatists. We don't want to create another Iraq in the horn of Africa. Congress must help Ethiopia in its fight against separatists and terrorists. Congress must not allow these terrorists and extremists to use the halls of Congress as a staging ground to destabilize our ancient nation, Ethiopia.
