Nathan Newman on how Bush is
helping the Kurds :
Well, we secured support from Turkey for an invasion of Iraq.
The price? Selling out the Kurds whose oppression by Hussein was supposedly one of the justifications
for this war.See this article on a new
agreement to allow Turkey to occupy Kurdish regions of Iraq to prevent any moves towards independence by
the Kurds.But then, raising the hopes of the Kurds only to sell them out is nothing new for the Bush family. Dubya’s
Dad did it twice– once back in the 1975 when he was head of the CIA and, of course, after the first Gulf
War when the Kurds were encouraged to rebel, only to have the US step back and let them be slaughtered.
