We need to deal with the Kurds....recognize them as a free independent state....build a permanent airbase there and tell the Iraqis and the Turks to shove it!!!
How do you propose we adequately equip and supply it if we are then denied over flight rights to that base by the countries which surround it? Kurdistan is land locked.
Iraq is to the south, Turkey is to the north, and Iran is to the east. The only way in and out is to the west - and that is over Syria, whom we are bombing, and Iraq if one can figure out where the new Kurdistan border is.
Which of these can we depend upon to be our friends, again?
Now if we had maintained a residual force in Iraq this would be a piece of cake. But 0bama made sure we didn't. All our strategic positioning in the Middle East since we invaded Iraq is gone, p!ssed away.
Ask ole G.HW Bush about how we abandoned the Kurds so that the remnant Saddamites could further murder them.
ALL for the sake of the precious NATO ally that now has delusions of being the Caliphate HQ (as in days before WWI) and helps ISIS and wants Iraq for themselves.
The Kurds know these people, they know them as the ENEMY. Which is a far cry from obamaumao and the Bushie socialist lites or the clintonian socialisto germanium (with Bill being said to be “just like a son” to Barbara Bush— countryclub preppies just have to recognize true pervs when they see them).
