#6  I forget his name but the ex-CIA operative that wrote those two long books on Islamic Terrorism, I heard him on TV one night ranting and raving the US should have been backing the Kurds for a very long time.

#5  mossomo: To advance the discussion, I have no problem with additional information!

Now that you have used "the word," however, you are henceforth forever banned from US-regulated air travel!

#1  Sorry to highjack. But this deserves it's own post on the Rant. Rudaw: US to Give Kurdish Forces Air Support.

The official source who didn’t want to be named said that the US would also provide the Kurdish Peshmerga with arms and military expertise.

The American offer is said to include humanitarian aid to be transported by air to the people of Shangal and Zumar who have been displaced as a result of fighting in their areas.

This newspaper has also learned that a number of European countries have contacted the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) with offers of military support.
