"A cross-border operation could hurt Turkey's relationship with the United States, which opposes Turkish intervention in northern Iraq, a region that has escaped the violence afflicting much of the rest of the country.
U.S. officials are already preoccupied with efforts to stabilize areas of Iraq outside the predominantly Kurdish northern region."
A cross-border operation may be necessary to remind the Kurds of the value in playing nice-nice. Such a raid would bring a healthy re-inforcement to the Kurds of the importance of a stabilized and secure Iraq with Uncle Sam's protection. Or, conversely, what life might portend in our absence.
Kurds are not "home free" by a long shot. It's vitally important that the KRG recognize it's primacy must not be endangered by trans-national Kurdish-inspired terror movements and assist both the Americans and Turks to this end.
Vitally important as we never know what the future holds.
