Reward your friends and punish your enemies - that's fundamental. We should have declared Kurdistan the minute the 4th ID was off the docks in Turkey.
Would you clarify that? That we should have declared the northern part of Iraq autonomous?
My son is in Kirkuk and he has a lot of respect for the Kurdish population and the military units being trained.
Also, I thought the 4th ID was floating in the Med when the Turks said "no" and they had to sail to the Persian Gulf and go into Iraq from the south?
You said -- "Reward your friends and punish your enemies - that's fundamental. We should have declared Kurdistan the minute the 4th ID was off the docks in Turkey."
You're right. And you know..., those guys would have *appreciated* that sincerely, and they would have fought like the devil for us...
