Love, American Style: Iraq's Kurds fans of all things US, Bush | Fox News

Most Kurds show great respect for President Obama, but it’s the name Bush that generates a larger salute. Some are even preparing to get behind possible candidate Jeb Bush in the 2016 presidential elections
 

I am glad to hear about something good that has come out of the war and I hope someday the Kurds are able to get the independence they deserve after being stuck in the middle of such an unstable area.
 
By all means then, lets spend some dollars and perhaps some lives defending the Kurds from everyone they do not get along with. Like, Turkey.

We really do not ever learn do we?

No one said we needed to act as if we are alone in the world, but we should stop acting like everyone should do as we would want them to. That position does not make me left wing.
 

National Flag Foundation

They claim to love America but show complete disrespect for the American flag.
 

I remember when the enemy of the Soviets were America's welcome friends. Until they re-emerged a few years later as Al-Qaeda
 
Kurds just negotiated an oil deal with Baghdad. This is interesting in that it's NOT a call for independent Kurdistan

Since I don't know you and your responses sound like a lefty and can only surmise that is what you are. We basically only supply weapons to the Kurds

No, not only is that not all we do now but we have done plenty else over the years as well. You and I both know that.

Yup. If we just stop our military interventions and manipulations everybody would love us.
