#3 Hey, at least they're modernizing. Over half the recent car bombs have been hybrids. Bah-dum-bum |

#1 So Kirkuk is heating up. Now that is a Kurd town, or at least they want it to be. The Turks seem to be getting their knickers in a rather large twist these last few days. Maybe the Turk "Special Forces" are doing a bit of extra work and making it look like Tater did it. Prolly not, but enquiring minds would like to know. |
