These are brave and loyal allies. Godspeed Kurdish friends!

I know, from experience, there is no love lost between the Kurds and the rest of the Iraqis. It might be better to keep the Kurds on a short leash. They might be able to use them in the outlying areas or along the border with Syria, but if they use them to search peoples homes and fight in the cities to the south all hell will break loose. Oh yeah, they better give them plenty of range time, the ones we had couldn't hit crap and we had to give them some basic training.

These are the people that Bill Clinton abandoned after assuring them that the US would back their revolt. It's hard to imagine that they now trust the US.

Most of Iraq's ICTF commandos are Kurds, and they are already kicking ass and taking names.
