Gotta feeling things are gonna heat up in Iraq very soon.


Been reading reports of Kirkuk. Apparently the people are attacking the Iranian backed Iraqi paramilitary groups en masse. Many groups have fled the city and Pershmerga is on the outskirts preparing to retake the citty? Iran, Turkey and Iraq want no Kurdistan. The vacuum of power in the region over the last 14 years has built an intense desire for Kurds to have their own country and it will not die because of an agreement between the US, Iraq, and Iran. So it goes, I guess.

I remember working with the Kurds during OIF, it is a damn shame we are turning our backs on them.
