#1 The Magazine added that this new Shiite country would be heading south to Kuwait, to deduct vital areas from it and include some parts of the north-east of Saudi Arabia.

Oh, hell no. The Saudis and Kuwaitis will draw down on US before that happens.

#2 And which parts of Turkey are they going to contribute to Greater Kurdistan?
It's really sad when someone who's supposed to be a professional journalist lets themselves be played this way; I suppose since 'O' got in office, they've all got used to it.

Ain't it funny how the Saudis can get a President installed to cut us down to size and wind up with a worse relationship than they had before?

#6 Agreed, hell can't we just get the lazy ass British to get back to work and redeclare the damn empire? Things are going to hell in a hand basket, they know what to do, but they've gotten lazy. Let the RN know we are no longer going east of Bermuda.

Ouch, Snowy Thing. Quite possibly you've over-sharpened that scalpel just a tad.

#8 Guarantee one thing, the Kurds are NOT taking a single step back from the areas the control now, which are well forward of most of these map lines, especially around Mosul. And the City of Kirkuk will remain Kurdish as well. If you thought digging Sunni militias and AQI from Fallujah was bad, just try rolling in on the Peshmerga in Kirkuk. There's not a military in the region with either the muscle or the guts it would take. So granis salis regarding a lot of these maps
