We’ve been gone for one week and things are already unraveling.

This was always inevitable. We’ve probably saved a few more American lives this way.

American troops in Iraq for a few decades might have worked, but it was never on the cards.

The charges, leveled a day after the last American troops left Iraq...

Then a Kurdish presidential spokesman ruled out handing Tariq al-Hashemi over to Baghdad, turning up the heat under what has become the worst Iraqi political crisis in years.

And so it begins. That short journey back to the 7th Century.

With cursory knowledge of the situation.. I wonder wouldn't it be something if Sunni Turkey backed the Kurds (and all the Sunni Iraqis) against Baghdad (Shi'a Iran influences Baghdad maybe)?

It's the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) Marxist terrorists that Ankara has to combat not the Kurdish Regional government of Iraq.

Trying to set-up a “sovereign, stable, and self-reliant Iraq” was our first mistake. This portion of the world has no history of this and thinking that we could create the conditions for one to flourish was folly. Let’s face it their current culture, Islam, is one fraught with lying, cheating and back-stabbing. It’s like having an entire nation of people with the same ethics as those in DC.

Kurds need to inform Malaiki "nuts to you!"

This pos can't even venture outside of the "green zone" for fear of his life from his own people.

The idea of his inditing Sunni leader is pure posturing (trying to look good to his Iranian buddies.)
