The “narrative” is that Obama and Hillary started this, anything bad that happens is on them. Too bad many here are still in the GWBush retard mode.
Kurds in Iraq have an accommodation with Turkey! let them do the same in Syria.
26 Sept 2017: The Atlantic: The Economic Case Against an Independent Kurdistan
by Alex Dziadosz
The economic case against secession rests largely on oil. Since gaining de facto autonomy in the early 1990s under a U.S.-imposed no-fly zone, Iraqi Kurds have steadily built up institutions including ministries, a civil service, and an army, allowing them to effectively function as a state...
Because the KRG’s roughly 600,000 barrels per day of oil exports are piped almost exclusively through Turkey to the port of Ceyhan, Ankara has enormous leverage not only over the region’s economy, but over the resource-distribution systems underlying social stability, such as the government’s ability to pay salaries.
“Oil is the main source of revenue in the region and all of that falls into the government’s coffers. So that’s it—the KRG’s economy depends on one pipeline that sells oil to international markets and the pipeline goes through Turkey. You shut down that pipeline, you choke the Kurdish economy,” Bilal Wahab, an analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told me...
Walk through Erbil’s downtown market and you will see pomegranates from Egypt, apples from Iran, and peaches and eggs from Turkey—not to mention clothes and household goods from China and cigarettes from as far as South Korea. Because Kurdistan is land-locked, shutting its borders with Iran and Turkey and airspace through Iraq could quickly lead to sharp spikes in prices or shortages of basic goods such as food and fuel...
“Daily, thousands of trucks are passing—thousands of trucks—and at the same time, don’t forget, Turkish people, Turkish companies, and the Turkish government get a lot of benefit from this activity,” Fathi al-Mudaris, an adviser to the KRG trade ministry, said. “Even if the Turkish government closes the border, they cannot do it for a long time.”...

That’s the truth, not the ‘narrative’.
In fact, I see a whole lot of effort by the media to protect Obama from the truth.
Seems like some folks here want to help them by blaming Trump for whatever may go wrong.
Well, we did make them wait a day so we could remove ourselves calmly. (Syria and Kurds reunited more quickly than anyone thought they would).
Ther’s another pic of a dog we left. That should be good for some crocodile tears./..
Are they Maoist? Do they hate jews? Do they hate bacon? I can deal with them not being all burquad up. If they are not Maoist and don’t consider a bomb belt this years must have accessory you found unicorns. If no to all have them learn english, spend 5 years in the US military and give them visas. Just them, not all 400 cousins.
George W. Bush, George Tenet and Colin Powell were wrong.
Lindsay Graham is a Military-Industrial Complex whore.
And Mikey Savage is just confused.
The false narrative that Trump “threw the Kurds to Turkey” is especially insidious.
He “threw the Kurds” to Syria. And Syria has quickly stepped up to their defense.
Good luck with that. Here is where the Kurds currently reside:
Savage is just a Bill O’Reilly wannabe... staking positions all over the map so everybody finds something to agree with him about.
I like Savage about half the time-when he’s in a manic phase.
No reason to take some nitwit seriously when he won't even use his real name on the air -- or on any of the books he has authored.
Savage pees on his shoes. Enough said.
I think he is related to Anthony.
Someone should call his show and ask for a paternity test.
Think back to all those bogus things that happened to keep the fighting going. They got blamed on Assad, but happened at times when Assad had nothing to gain from them. The bad guys? I'm okay with the militaries of Syria, Russia, and Iran providing justice. We can protect the Kurds in Iraq's borders, but not beyond.
The irony is that the liberals, who mostly oppose using our military out of the country are raging against Trump. Why? Well, because he is Trump they must oppose him.
If only moslems are fighting and no American lives are threatened, why would we have a difficult time choosing between
Savage (not his real name) is a complete and pitiable fool.
I happened to tune in his program when he was railing against rifles (ARs, in this case) IIRC calling for their confiscation and being banned.
This veteran and responsible gun owner would have called in to offer some helpful statistics, but among other things, Mister Savage is not a good listener.
So when are you leaving for Syria to go fight? Put your money where your mouth is.
Besides, your loyalty is to Japan, not the US, so mind your own business.
You’re just another NeverTrumper troll. Yawn...
