3. It is cause I can't type at all.

I can't use my left hand - I have permanent nerve damage.

SO I do the best I can.

2. Looks like we need the Kurds

An article I read earlier in the Asia Times:

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/IE31Ak03.html

Kurds drawn into Iraq's firing line
By Ali al-Fadhily
May 31, 2007

BAGHDAD - A massacre by members of Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army on Sunni worshippers this month sparked clashes between patrolling Kurdish militiamen in southwest Baghdad and the Mahdi Army, raising tensions that fighting between the groups could spread.
.....
The Kurdish unit was placed in the Amil and Bayaa areas of southwest Baghdad in March as part of the security crackdown there led by the US military.

4. They (Turkey) are massing units on the border.

They don't give a crap about religion. They are protecting their southern border.

So would we. Those Kurds want that oil - and they think the border should go into Turkey too.

Turkey doesn't see it that way.

7. Yup

It's going to be fireworks show for sure. It's only a matter of time. Oil trumps everything.

6. Not until we get those dumb kids out of there.

Not for me.

After that they can all go to hell. And I am sure they will.
