"...our new friends, the Kurds, and Turkey's enemy, Iran."

I always thought that our fight was against terrorists and Islamists. By supporting those most enthusiastic about terror and Islamism, do you not think that this will blow up in our face?

Is it beyond the realm of possibility that your post war plans for the New Iraq will turn around and bite us, with a bizarre mix of Marxists and Islamists killing everyone and everything which disagrees with them having a piece of the action there? How do you propose to control these parties? Is there not a lethal amount of wishful thinking in your plans?

It is. You just don't seem to recognize how many countries that includes.

Oh, and if we only let Turkey do anything that comes into their violent pointy little heads, everything would be fine?

You could offer no guarantee on these same matters if we and the others hadn't put Turkey on a leash. I don't think you've even begun to realize just how badly Turkey has harmed itself in these matters. So unnecessary, so stupid.
