They didn't say they won't do it. They said they wanted guarantees that we won't abandon them after Saddam is gone.

Thats not ungrateful, its realistic. They were betrayed by Bush Sr., who left them to face Saddam alone, until the news footage of the Kurdish refugees hit the TV news and embarrassed him into action. Significantly, once he decided to act, it only took a few US Marines and air power to push Saddam back out of the zone.

They were betrayed again by Clinton. They had begun to build up an army that was intended to take on Saddam. The CIA had guys on the ground coordinating it. Iraqi officers and soldiers were defecting and joining the force. For reasons no one has admitted to, Clinton suddenly withdrew the CIA guys, and the following day Saddam's armor surrounded the city, and they rounded up the defecting officers and quite a number of Kurds who were working with us. Executed them, of course.

The rest of our Kurds were forced to flee into Iran, where they were subsequently rescued by a Green Beret operation. They were whisked away to Guam for a year, and most of them have been resettled in the US.

The article above states that Saddam's armor is held at bay by the no-fly zone, but on that fateful day, Clinton looked the other way.

A lot of good men died. The CIA guys involved were so angry at the death of their colleagues that they went public. But of course, no one was listening. If a tree falls in the forest... If Kurds are massacred, and no one hears the screaming, are they really dead?

Great post! But it is time to take out all the bad guys in All The Arab Countries before they get a Nuk. So lets
do it by ourself and get it done right the first time and save America........It's time they feel the full power of the United States Of America....we lead we don't follow.

Aren't these the same guys that the Turks routinely enter Iraq to attack?
