So does the US know what Turkey's doing?
The Iraq command reportedly knew nothing of the Turkish attacks until they saw the planes crossing the border. (If true, imagine that moment in the command post.)

Don't ask don't tell. It's possible they covered themselves by not asking for specifics.

Another thing....the Turks wouldn't want the PKK to get any advanced warning.

Right, and right. But imagine the Pakistanis telling us where Bin Laden was, and then claiming no knowledge that we might attack.
It's a pretty weak defense.

The whole concept of getting permission went out the window with the Iraq invasion.
