#4 These must have been those children playing in a field and flying kites that Mike Al-Moore found (oops, right - he didn't have the courage to actually go to Iraq - my bad..). We haven't found them anywhere else.

I'm sure the MSM will be all over this just as they finish with soddomizing the prison scandal dead horse and the marine-shooting an 'innocent' terrorists scandal and any other scandals which come along. Tell you what -- I'll call you in about 5 years.... (dont call me).....

#5 The Iraqi Kurd prefers kickin' up on 'is back, surrounded by two, three thousand of 'is mates. They're pinin' for the fjords!

#6 I used to believe that we would have been much better off to divide Iraq up into three states, Shia, Sunni and Kurd. But now I think I was wrong. Alone, they would not have been safe from Turkish aggression to remove the threat Turkey perceives from an Independent Kurdistan. Yippy The Dogman would have, IMHO, seen opportunity to eliminate "The Kurd Problem" and to grab those oil fields. I now believe the Kurds are much stronger and better off within the larger republic of Iraq.

#7 Wouldn't be just Turkey, 2B. Figure Syria to the West taking Sunni portions under 'protection' and what part of Iraq's south that the Saudis didn't control, becoming an Iranian version of Lebanon.
