>> I don't recall this incident: "Back in '98, when the central government of Iraq went into some Kurdish areas to fight some of the US sponsored groups there, it was a total rout of the Kurds." Do you have a link for details on it, by any chance? His Sam. I was wrong about the date. It was in Sept 1996. You may recall that the US responded by expanding the no fly zone. This is a link to a time-line about Iraq. I extracted the paragraph about that event. Thanks for the link and memo. Just one more thing going wrong in a long list. Sarmad mideastweb.org August 31, 1996 Iraq, working with the KDP, occupies Irbil (12 miles into NFZ) & destroys Western-backed opposition bases. The KDP takes over most of Iraqi Kurdistan, and Iraqi forces withdraw (2Sept). Saddam Hussein lifts internal economic embargo on the Kurdish region.
