You've got that right.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to be pinged when you post their reaction.

". . . that wild thread this morning . . ."

If you don't mind me butting in here, the fellow who started that thread appears to be a Polish immigrant living in New Jersey according to his profile page. He had a regular line to his brother and his brother had a Sat line to someone over there, thus it was third hand so to speak (but may nevertheless have been accurately relayed). From what I saw the poster became concerned about the information and asked the moderators to pull the thread.

Check this out....the Kurdish peshmerge have entered the Fallujah fight.

Hey, that's the ticket!!

Give the Kurds a...

FREE HAND in FALLUJAH!!!

These images have been on Lycos for many hours. Nothing to worry about.

You know that the Peshmerga have a woman's unit made up of nothing but widows of those killed by the Iraqis? Looks like it might be payback time shortly....

[archy]

The Peshmerga has their version of Rangers/paratroops, too. Maybe the Iraqis hate the Americans for getting Saddam off their backs, but the Kurds sure don't feel that way about us. And they're one damn seriously hardcore bunch of troops; the only thing scarier than a bunch of them in uniform is a bunch of them not in uniform. They just flat LOOK like something between a particularly mean biker gang and a bunch of pirates.

Hmmmmm. Janissaries?

I just paid for 100 arabic Bibles to be sent to Iraq. I hope their national psyche is shaken to the core.

I need a ballpark price/each and an address for some additional funding for you.

Are we rapidly approaching the point where we kill everybody but the Kurds in Iraq and then give the Kurds all of Iraq--all the Kurdish diaspora could return (there are 25 million Kurds in the world which equals the number of Iraqis now) and then there would be a pro-American Kurdistan where Iraq used to me.

That sounds like the best plan I have heard yet.

[faithincowboys]

These are my type of people--God bless the Kurds. I feel terrible for them that they have had to put up with the arab a-holes for so long.

They kept faith, and persevered. Now maybe it'll pay off for them.

A Bible is $2.00 with a matching grant that they have right now. A very cool ministry. I've been paying for Bibles all over the world for years!

If your garden did not die first, it would grow away from the noisome pestilence!

[Cap Huff]

Your right. Too much manure can kill the plants and stink out the neighborhood. Maybe just playing when Wolf Blitzer is on would be enough.

posted by xzins and a good read for backgound:

The Kurdish people comprise a large ethnic group of about 25 million that have always lived in the same place, and trace their roots back to the Medes of ancient Persia more than 2,500 years ago. In fact, the Magi, or "wise men" who traveled from the east to deliver their gold, frankincense and myrrh to the newborn Jesus at Bethlehem were most likely Zoroastrian priests, forbears of the modern Kurds. The Kurds are tribal people, many of them lived, until recently, a nomadic lifestyle in the mountainous regions of Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. Their refuge has always been the mountains, with their steep pastures and fertile valleys.

ohhhhhh! wish I could post what my father says about Wolf

[TrueBeliever9]

Thanks for the site!

[marktwain]

But can they handle the truth? Can their national psyche handle it?

Those that can, will. And they will prosper. Those that can't won't. And they will die. Reality is a bitch.

Much of the whole reason for Iraq is to reshape their national psyche to take reality into account. Lee Harris' essay on "Fantasy Ideology" is right on the money. There would be no terrorist problem if these people had to make it on their own. They have been proped up by the west, through our development of oil (which they stole) and the purchase of the same.

Thanks for the great photos! I needed some encouragement this morning!

Psalm 54 as I am praying it today!

Save our troops and coalition forces, O God, by Thy Name, and judge them by Thy Strength. Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. For strangers are risen up against our troops, and oppressors seek after their souls: they have not set God before them. Selah. Behold, God is their helper: the Lord is with them that uphold their soul. He shall reward evil unto their enemies: cut them off in Thy Truth. We will freely sacrifice unto Thee: We will praise Thy Name, O LORD; for it is good. For He has delivered our troops and coalition out of all trouble: and our eyes have seen His desire upon our enemies. In Jesus Name. Amen. [Speaking encouragement and Holy Words over our troops is my contribution to our men.]

I believe it is. I think they deserve it more than anyone in Iraq. The problem is the Turks don't want the Kurds to have their own country in that part of Iraq so close to the Turkish border. They have a problem with the idea of Kurdish homeland. 30 posted on 04/07/2004 10:39:00 PM EDT by LoudRepublicangirl (loudrepublicangirl)

The Turks have a problem with ANYBODY having a homeland.

After the parasitic Turkish nation invaded Asia Minor in the years after 1000 AD, wiping out ancient Christian civilizations there, then invading Europe in the 1300's and finally conquering in 1453 the Eastern Roman ("Byzantine") Empire which had saved Europe from Islam for a millennium, they have always ruled, even now, as the typical Islamic tyranny, treating their subjects as sub-human.

Ask the Armenians about the Turkish idea of respect for human rights.
