BTW, why aren’t the Kurdish leaders smacking down their own, so this doesn’t get blown out of proportion?

That is what I have been wondering. They have an excellent Military in the Kurdish North, so excellent they don't want help from the regular Iraqi Military.

It would be in their best interests to wipe out the rebels. They are no better than terrorists.

I doubt the Kurdish leadership is actually involved, but they could help ease tensions.

I think you are right about both of those items in your last sentence.

Thanks Syncro. Glad that made sense to you too.
