WRONG ALLIES
WRONG ALLIES: It looks like we’ve sold the Kurds down the river–again. In exchange for belated overflight rights that we no longer particularly need, we’ve allowed the Turks to invade the Kurd territory in northern Iraq that we’ve been protecting, via Operation Provide Comfort and Operation Northern Watch, since the end of the first Gulf War. Considering that we’re going to war, at least partly, to rid the Iraqi people of tyranny, one would hope we’d treat the Kurds better.
