No one in their right mind will stand by Saddam when the chips are down.

But they didn't abandon him until Uncle Sam reared back his fist.

UN Diplomacy without a commitment to use force: 0

the Iraqi president’s internal support is beginning to crumble.

Yep, shows to go ya' that a show of military might doesn't work! We should have listened to "Chiraq the horrible". /sarcasm

Mr Herki is among a number of tribal leaders who have held talks with Masoud Barzani, the Kurdish leader

Herki jerky? Apparently not!

This is spectacular news. I suspect we will soon need a separate sidebar for all of the Iraqi defection stories.

Has Saddam basically lost Northern Iraq without a shot being fired (that we know of)?
