"WASHINGTON, April 10 (AFP) US and Kurdish forces began to move into the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Thursday, as Iraqi forces surrendered their weapons along the "green line" separating Iraqi and Kurdish-controlled areas of the north, US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said."

For future reference, to "debunk" somethink you need to submit proof, not simply make an unsupported assertion. But, since you are out in the sun, I'm sure you will now assert that this "green line" had absolutely no significance and may as well not have existed at all - or that Saddam so loved the Kurds that he just gave them freedom to demostrate that love.

Please see #202. Plenty of proof that the Iraqi military was in control of these places at the time we moved it, just do FR searches of the archives using Mosul and Kirkuk for search words. Go back to April 2003. (But don't ask us to do your grunt work.)

The funny thing is that you think that link debunks the theory that Saddam could have known or supported AQ terrorist activities in the Kurdish area. And, of course, the link does not prove that at all. It doesn't even come close to that

The other funny thing is the last sentence of your paragraph. "...or that Saddam so loved the Kurds that he just gave them freedom to demostrate that love." And there you inadvertently hit on the point. Saddam didn't give anyone freedom.

But the points have been aptly made by other freepers and I will leave it at that.

It's like trying to deal with a teenager.

And, by the way, the smell of vindication is as sweet in the afternoon as it was this morning. And I've had fun watching you try to avoid the scent.
