RE: If I were the Kurds, I wouldn’t trust the Americans for a minute. We have left them high-and-dry on more than one occasion.
Ahhh yes... remember Papa Bush, who encouraged them to rise up after Saddam Hussein was driven out of Kuwait?
He abandoned them and allowed Saddam to gas 5,000 of them to death [One of the instances of Saddam’s use of WMD’s, which we mysteriuosly could not find after he was deposed]
But then, if they can’t depend on the USA, who can they turn to?
