An Iraqi soldier rides in the back of a truck in convoy of Peshmerga milita and Iraqi army soldiers in Kirkuk, in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

Expect Turkey to join the war effort...

If we gave the Kurds their complete autonomy, and gave them recognition that they owned Kirkuk, and armed them to the teeth, I'll bet we'd have one heck of an ally in the ME.

If america has any brains they will arm the kurds to the teeth, including heavy armor..
Then, station american troops in kurdish iraq, near the turkish border..

Regardless what happens in Iraq, the Kurds deserve our full support..
They're the only ones over there that seem to get the whole idea of economic opportunity, capitalism, democracy, etc..

Good for us and the Kurds. Kirkuk belongs to the Kurds, and (sorry for those innocents caught in the fighting) I have zero sympathy for the Turks and Arabs (politically). A strong Kurdistan (as an authonous region, yet not a state) will be good for our strategic interests in the region. BTW the Kurds have proven to be worth of our support, something most other Muslim people have yet to do.

They should relocate all of the Kurds from Iran and Turkey to Iraq. Then drive the Suni's into Syria and the Shiites into Iran and just let the Kurds have Iraq. Lets draw the lines with a bold marker!!!

The idea of maintianing a single Iraq nation was one of the biggest failures of the early Bush strategy. The country should be split into 3 parts, with a weak federal government.

The other failure, of course, was a politically correct conduct of the war.
