U.S.: BUSH URGES ALLIES IN KURDISTAN TO SUPPRESS PKK REBELS.
By Jim Lobe
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23, 2007 (IPS/GIN) -- The administration of U.S. President George W. Bush is pressing its closest clients in Iraqi Kurdistan to crack down hard against the Kurdish Turkish Workers' Party, which Washington considers to be a terrorist organization.
Given the administration's refusal so far to back up that pressure with military muscle, however, it remains unclear whether its efforts will inspire local Kurdish authorities to take action, or prevent a cross-border offensive from Turkey that could throw into chaos the one Iraqi region that has enjoyed stability since the 2003 U.S. invasion.
So far it appears that U.S. pressure is having only a limited impact. The Kurdish Turkish Workers' Party (PKK)'s offer to observe a conditional ceasefire was dismissed both by Ankara and officials in Washington, who noted that such declarations have proved meaningless in the past.
