Iraq says no one can stop Kurdish rebels
Source: AP

ISTANBUL, Turkey - Iraq warned that no one can stop Kurdish rebels in Iraq's remote northern border region from attacking Turkey, as tensions over the assaults overshadowed a major international meeting on Iraq's future.

"It's not in our capacity" to capture the rebels, Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said. "It's not even in the capacity of Turkey."

Turkey is hosting the session, which includes about two dozen nations and organizations pledged to support Iraq's U.S.-backed government economically and politically.

The guest list includes Iran and Syria, two nations the United States blames for furthering instability and violence inside Iraq. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sat across from Iran's foreign minister at an opening dinner Friday night, but the two had no private meeting — something Iraq and many other Mideast nations had hoped for.

1. The thing to remember is that
the 'nation/States' of the ME are creations of the aftermath of WW1.
It's a complete political delusion that the West is invested in believing in, despite the facts and reality.
