What could possibly go wrong?

Turkish ground troops crossed into northern Iraq in their hunt for Kurdish PKK rebels, the military said, describing the start of a campaign one report said could last 15 days.

The White House said the United States had been informed in advance of Turkey’s offensive and called on Ankara to limit the operation to “precise targeting” of the PKK rebels who have been using northern Iraq as a base to stage attacks in Turkey.

Iraq’s government urged Turkey to respect its sovereignty and avoid any military action which would threaten security and stability.
