Iraq Error

Part of tomorrows announcement concerning a "surge" escalation of U.S. Troops in Iraq supposedly involves the moving of at least two divisions of Kurdish Peshmerga troops in to Baghdad to work over the local population.
There are some doubts that the Kurds will do it, there are also fears that if the do go in there will be reaction from Turkey who fear a strong Turkish state on their eastern borders.
The carrot for the Kurds to do it is most likely control of Diyala, Kirkuk, Ninawa as part of the redrawn Kurdish Autonomous Region in exchange for leaving Baghdad following a surge or even before the surge ends leaving the Americans alone again.
Making Iraqi Kurdistan the keeper of Iraq could be the start of a divided former Iraq and bigger problems for the region as a whole.
