Iraq claims it will shutter the PKK offices and "not allow it to operate on Iraqi soil." But beyond asking that the offices be closed, the Iraqi government has very little influence in the Kurdish region.

The Americans are already lowering the Iraqi bar,

The US military commander in Iraq, Gen David Petraeus, has told the BBC it would be very difficult for anyone to police Iraq's northern border but pressure should be put on the PKK.

In other words, don't expect a lot of actual action.

And, this caught my eye,

In London, Mr Erdogan said: "We may impose some sanctions with respect to some goods we export to Iraq."

He did not specify what might be embargoed but mentioned Turkey had been helping Iraq with water, fuel and food.
