"When this thing breaks it's going to be really ugly." Yeah. Sounds like Loserstan is in for a bad patch. And it leaves us with several choices, all bad. We can try to stop the Kurds and the Shia, but we don't have the people for that. We can sit, watch and pray that no one notices us. Bad for moral and probably won't work. In the heat of things, sooner or later some group is going to decide that the US presence is an offense and decide to do something about it. Finally, we can just cut and run and hope that too many don't get killed in the chaos. That is really going to suck for the contractors.

re: Kurdish leaders have inserted more than 10,000 of their militia members into Iraqi army divisions in northern Iraq to lay the groundwork to swarm south, seize the oil-rich city of Kirkuk and possibly half of Mosul, Iraq's third-largest city, and secure the borders of an independent Kurdistan. When this thing breaks it's going to be really ugly. Yup. And I think we're getting close. The Kurds want Kirkuk so bad they can taste it.....and the Sunnis will just not quit with their complaints. ted
