Any peace they're enjoying in Kurdistan is solely courtesy of the Bush Administration. If the Dems don't want any of the credit, fine.

Sadly, not true. Kurdistan was peaceful, prosperous and de facto independant since the early nineties. One of the few decent things Clinton did was prevent the Iraqis from going north or even remotely interferring in Kurdistan.

Actually, it's courtesy of the Clinton Administration. One of the few good ideas that x42 had was keeping up the "no fly" zones in northern and southern Iraq. Consequently, the Kurds (with the help of some Green Berets) built up a pretty respectable local militia and ruled with de-facto autonomy from the early 90's on.
