Thanks. I know some of the history. Frankly, I have always liked the Kurds...becaused they helped our troops and are not Islamist radicals.
The Kurds, AFAIK, are the “Medes” of the “Medo-Persion empire”
Even the Shah of Iran attacked the Kurds.
I met Kurdish troops first hand-—they are our friends..That was the only time I felt comfortable without my weapon and impact vest.

“Iran carried out air raids targeting alleged separatists in the autonomous Kurdistan region on Saturday. According to Iraq’s Foreign Ministry, villagers were wounded in the attacks.”
Yes, this has been happening for a while. Looks like a border skirmish - but an important test for Iraq and the US nonethless. Obammy’s not ready for a non TOTUS test of any kind - even a skirmish like this. Just look what’s going on with the ‘civilian deaths’ in Afghanistan. The Taliban are playing Obammy like a fiddle.
