Poor Kurds. Like everyone else in the world, the vast majority just want a little peace and quiet to raise their kids and enjoy life. They tasted a semblance of that recently in Turkey, and in gratitude, voted in almost unanimously the Islamicist Justice and Development Party. It will prove to be yet another of history's bitter ironies for the Kurds, and a telling indictment of the Bush Mafia's "Freedom'n'Democracy" agenda, with over 100,000 Turkish soldiers massed at the Iraq border, that after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit with Bush this November 5, they will be at war with the very same government they recently voted for:

The Kurds have always paid with their blood for the outrageous errors of their political leaders who throughout history have had an unerring knack for picking the wrong side: the Turks over the British in WWI, hence being gassed by the Limeys, the Naziis over the West in WWII, and Iran over their native Iraq, hence being dosed a second time with gas. And in keeping with this grand tradition of picking losers, they've picked the US over the Iraqi nationalist insurgency.

It appears that it may happen yet again if they evince sympathy and support for the extremist PKKs, who are presently in receipt of American arms and money. The Bush Mafia escapes culpability for funding a putative "terrorist" organization by ensuring that all the receipts are rubber-stamped by the PJAK, the anti-Iranian guise behind which stand the exact same people, with the exact same training camps, and indeed, the exact same overall political agenda of the PKK. Recently, we saw the Bush Mafia via Cheney's office, pipe money to Al-Queda factions to fight Hezbollah in Lebanon so it should come as no surprise that yet again, US foreign policy is driven by that old saw about how the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The moronic Bush Mafia has now become so irretreivably enmeshed in such amoral contortions, that it appears that as far as their dealings with the Kurds, the Turks, the Iranians, Iraqiis, Israeliis, Arabs, etc etc etc, they have lost the thread of who are America's real friends if the enemy of your enemy of your enemy of your enemy actually turns out to be, ...your enemy.

Frankly, the Bush Mafia is now so confused, it no longer cares as it counts the hours until they can flee Washington DC with their immunities, amnesties, pardons, and most importantly, their contracts intact.
