So much for liberating Iraq, saving the innocents, and bringing shining democracy to the Middle East

Is anyone here really suprised?


I see no references in the article corroborating the Kurds' claims about the supposed changes US policy, and the Kurds are hardly an unbiased source in these matters. An end to Saddam's reign will also mean an end to the northern DMZ. The Kurds will have to answer to Baghdad once again, and democracy or no, that is something they'd prefer to avoid. The US has already stated that it won't support an independent Kurdistan, so the Kurds are going to do everything they can to undermine the case for war.
