Kurds fighting against Turkey and Iraq as they attempt to carve out their own homeland is a very real possibility as soon as US troops leave Iraq.

Or sooner. A Kurdish state would most certainly annex part of Turkey -- so Turkey has a strong vested interest in preventing a Kurdish state, and was explicit at the outset that such a thing would *never* happen.
