They're sending in Kurds to fight Sadr? At least that's what it looks like. Why are the Kurds bothering to come? Don't they have their own problems trying to leave Iraq and keep Turkey out of Kurdistan? They have their own flag, their own army, their own everything. Why would Kurds want to come down to Baghdad and fight Shiites? Is there some under-the-table deal with lots of money involved? "...Kurdish lawmaker Mahmoud Othman said the "plan will fail. Sending more troops and financial support will not help if there is no sectarian and political solution." "Sending troops and pumping money could improve the situation for some time, but I am not optimistic," he said. He also said it was a bad idea to send Kurdish troops to fight Shiite militia members in Baghdad "because they don't know the area and they don't know the people. There will also be new Arab-Kurdish sensitivities."... helenair.com
