Iran and Turkey are about to launch a coordinated attack against the Kurds. It is said that Turkish troops are already over 5 miles inside of Iraq. Troops and munitions are amassing as I type this. It looks like a lifetime of horror is about to get worse. The Kurds have been literally fighting for their lives on three fronts now for years. There is nowhere for them to go. They have no country.
They do have control of a modest amount of oil in Northern Iraq and have made great gains since the US has taken the pressure off of them by eliminating Saddam's regime. It looks like Turkey and Iran have decided to take the oil away from them and to repay them for loyalty to the US during the Iraq occupation. It looks like things are about to get a lot hotter on the world scene.
- Odd that the MSM (mainstream media) isn't picking this up yet, and that all the outlets are quoting the same source. Crude prices are still hovering around $61, not much changed, just up a little from $60 earlier. Hmm.
