Turkey has also been using air and ground troops inside Iraq. These attacks are directed at the Kurds who are in Iraq, Turkey, and Iran. There is a long history surrounding “Kurdistan” and the desire of some Kurds to have a separate country. There have been Kurdish raids from inside Iraq into Iran and Turkey.

Yeah, but why muddy up the water with context?

Thanks. I know some of the history. Frankly, I have always liked the Kurds...becaused they helped our troops and are not Islamist radicals.

“There have been Kurdish raids from inside Iraq into Iran and Turkey.”

Someone enlighten me....did the Kurdish attack the Iranians first??

Sorry....I am out of the loop on this one...

The Iraqi Kurds are the equivalent of Taliban in Pakistan.

I don’t fault Iran for shelling the Kurd bad guys. They need to be put down

Kurdistan of course extends into Turkey and Iran.

That's the main reason that Turkey would not let us enter Iraq through their country [nice ally].

Free Kurdistan!
