#1 Kurds have up to 140,000 "peshmerga" fighters in the north

Interesting. That's close to double the number usually bandied around.

#2 According to a friend of mine who's over there, the Peshmerga also work the closest with the US AND the Iraqi Army. Sadr, on the other hand...

#3 That's what I was saying the other day. The Peshmurga have had lots of time to organize and recruit now, not to mention looking for arms caches in the desert.

Telling them "no" now might not be all that easy, for anybody.
