Turkey wants US troops to solve its Kurd "problem"

Turkey urges US to strike rebels
Turkey has repeated calls for US forces to take direct action to stop Kurdish rebels, the PKK, using bases in Iraq to launch attacks against Turkey.
"Frankly speaking, we do not see the efforts by the US that we expect to see. We have expressed our views to that effect to the Americans." -Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish Prime Minister
Where are we supposed to get the troops for this? Obviously ours are worn out.

Of course, the Iraq war has given Turkey an excuse to wipe out the Kurds under the guise of terrorism. It wouldn't be the first time they've tried.
