Talabani slams Iran, Turkey interference

BEIRUT, Lebanon, May 16 (UPI) -- Iraqi President Jalal Talabani lashed out at neighbors Iran and Turkey for interfering in Iraq's domestic affairs, warning Baghdad could reciprocate.

Talabani was quoted as saying Tuesday in Saudi daily Al-Sharq al-Awsat that "Iraq is not a weak country. The neighbors can create problems for us and we also are capable of causing problems for them."

He said, "if Iran allows itself to interfere in Karbala because it is a Shiite city and Turkey feels it can interfere in Kirkuk, that will open the way for very dangerous consequences."

"In that case," he added, "Iraq will also have the right to interfere in Khozestan in Iran on the grounds that it has an Arab population and the same applies to Alexandrite in Turkey which has an Arab population."

1. Is anyone uh like uh noticing what this guy is saying?

He's saying, mess with the Kurds, and Iraq (not just the Kurds, but Iraq) will mess back on Turkish and Iranian soil by, at the very minimum, providing aid and comfort to guerillas operating against those two sovereign nations on their own territory.

Hello?...

3. He should keep his mouth shut.

His American handlers should tell to keep quiet. If Turkey wanted to get involved, seriously involved, not only would they erase Kurdistan as any meaningful territorial entity, but they could easily put American plans of middle east domination into jeopardy. If you know what I mean.
