To be a good Bridge Player one needs an analytical mind so let's analyze

What kind of idiot are you, anyway? We won't be fighting the Kurds. Saddam gassed them, remember? They hate him as much as the rest of the Iraqi citizens!!

First Saddam gassed them, remember?

Are you sure? I’ve seen conflicting reports. Maybe Saddam, maybe Iran. Certainly both would like to suppress the Kurds? And somebody gassed them. Me, I don’t know who.

They hate him as much as the rest of the Iraqi citizens

No argument here. Saddam is widely hated by Iraqis and by Kurds in particular.

We won't be fighting the Kurds

Well here we run into a problem. I don’t know for sure that we’ll be fighting the Kurds, but I can think of several scenarios where we would. Most of these scenarios hinge on Kirkuk – both the town and the oil fields. If we support the Turks, I can almost guarantee will be fighting the Kurds. Currently, the situation is far too fluid to make any firm predictions.

What kind of idiot are you, anyway?

O.K. here I can help you. He is a well known Jackass.
