The northern Kurdish area achieved semi-automony prior to the failed occupation of Baghdad.

The Clinton regime supported the Kurds in various ways including enforcement of the no fly zones.

There are varying accounts of anti-Kurdish themes in the U.S. backed Saddam years.

Most of the worst allegations covered the Iraq/Iran war. Some Kurds favored Iran over Iraq. Some Kurdish cities and areas were ‘taken’ by Iran.

It remains in dispute whether Iraq or Iran both gassed these disputed Kurdish areas.

Do you not think some conservatives are against what is going on in Iraq?

===========================

“. . .grinding your military into the dust for the sake of ‘democracy’ . . .”
–Is that the latest excuse for invading, destroying and occupying Iraq? What happened to 9-11, al-Qaeda, WMDs and that nasty old Saddam?

“But the GOP would be well served by an actual debate on the war, how it’s metastasized beyond the original purpose . . .”
–Remind me what the original purpose was supposed to be? Reelecting Dubious?

“. . .it’s become a way to increase rather than reduce the terror threat . . .”
–Ah, yes, now I remember.

Mike,

“I want to know what the party of no conscious will do about the Kurds?”

–Curious question. We’ve already seen the GOPers back up Saddam when he was gassing them in the 1980s; in this decade, the mantra is to invade, destroy and occupy the entire nation. Does the fact that the stupidity is now spread throughout the country suggest that the GOPers are favoring the Kurds, by not focusing on them as they did ca. 1980s?

“Will they turn their backs the same way they did post Viet Nam.”
–Good question: Why didn’t President Ford do more?

You don’t have enough guts to come right out and say it do you?

You want to accuse me and all Liberals of being terrorists but you’re too cowardly to back that up.

You’re gutless and you’re a liar.

Like Erick Erickson and all the limp lipped liars of the non-mainstream Repuglicans.

I’ve even been known to read Mark Twain silently without moving my lips.

But, I still lose my place if I don’t follow along with my finger.
