A Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee says Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki cannot keep his country together, and a U.S. alliance with Iran might be needed to do so.
South Carolina Sen.

It’s a trap.
Insanity. Iran is much more of a threat than those aligned more with the Saudis.

You can count on the Turks taking on the Kurds. They have already had incursions against them in response to cross border attacks on Turkey by the Kurds. And Iran does not want a Kurdistan either.
Not just Biden. Was surprised that jerk actually spilled the truth.
The Sunnis & Shiites hate each other. The Kurds are a total other entity. Calling them “IRAQ” is like putting red and black ants in a jar and making them fight to the death.
