When it Rains it Pours

Policymakers often have trouble following more than one crisis at a time, but in this case they may have to.  Kurdish PKK terrorists have killed more than a dozen Turks in the last couple days in an ambush and a mine incident.  Turkish forces are threatening to enter northern Iraq to stop Iraqi Kurdish from offering their Turkish counterparts safe haven if the U.S. and Iraq do not take action in the next few days.  It’s fever pitch in Ankara.
