Iraq-Jordan
Kurdish Mashed Tater
2004-08-18
DEBKAfile's military sources reveal: US-Iraqi forces have transferred to Najef Kurdish Special Forces 36th commando battalion, of mostly Shiite fighters, to spearhead Iraqi military drive into Imam Ali Mosque - possibly Wednesday night.

Butter, check. Gravy, check. Salt and pepper to taste. Kurds gonna mash them some Taters for supper!

#6  Read me back a few days ago.

I told you guys it took a few days, and I also told you they'd be bringing in ther "special" units - after they have had time to rehearse.

Take a look at the shrines available for "practice" in the Kurdish areas.

#4  Kurdish Shiites ? A rare bird, if any I think.
Theres something wrong here. Kurds, I can understand. But I don't think there is a battalion-worth of Kurdish Shiites.
