Hi John Cavanaugh; Re: "US forces have been in the Kurdish sector for 5 months now and not sustained a single casualty from the Kurds. Why is that?" Your premise is wrong. We've been attacked repeatedly in the Kudish sector, probably by Ansar Al-Islam, which is most definitely a Kurdish operation. Re: "So in many ways your right about a lot of these issues, but cutting and running is no solution. We did that in Somalia and what did that earn us?" There are thousands of US citizens alive today, who would have been killed in Somalia if we'd gotten stuck in a quagmire there. -- Carl
