Re: "Well THIS TIME more likely then not there will be HORDES OF NEWSMEN from all over the World following the troops. If we cant protect the Kurds I suspect the NEWS can." >>> You really think so? >>> There were 'hordes' of news media the last time we allowed the Kurds to be massacred, at the end of Desert Storm. It was all over the evening news shows, Time magazine... everywhere, and it didn't do a bit of good. >>> When we allowed Saddam's helicopters to fly in the northern 'no fly zone', and they flew in troops to support his artillery as he killed the Kurds who had risen up - at the call of President Bush - to oppose his rule ... we took no action militarily. >>> There were over 500,000 Kurdish refugees. American pilots later reported their horror as they watched, from high overhead, Saddam's helicopters machine-gunning and rocketing civilians. They repeatedly radioed their commanders for permission to shoot down the helicopters... but were denied permission to fire. >>> It was one of the most shameful episodes in US foreign policy ever... but I guess people don't want to remember the bad things.... >>> You don't seem to remember :(
