Turk warplanes strike PKK targets in N.Iraq: army

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey's army said its warplanes
struck Kurdish separatist targets inside northern Iraq on
Friday and Saturday, in what army sources called the
biggest Turkish air operation in northern Iraq this year.

A Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) spokesman said the
bombing had caused no casualties.

The Turkish military has carried out a series of air attacks
on northern Iraq since the end of a February land offensive
into the neighboring country, where rebels have bases. It
was the second air strike this week, after an operation on
Wednesday.

The army tends to step up operations against the PKK
in the spring when the snow melts, making it easier to
move about in the mountainous region.

Isn't it time we change Washington to represent We The People...?

The Obama Campaign Needs Our Support. Volunteer, contribute time and money if you can. We can be the differnce. Our voice is more powerful than the powerful special interest and the few connected. Yes we must hope and believe in that hope that we are taking our government back our country back. As concerned Americans I challenge you to check out Obama's document "Blueprint For Change"... It is an impressive outline of change that we can believe in... If you want to know about Obama's "Agenda", this document is where you will learn the truth and you will likely be pretty surprised.
