Looks like the Kurds...

...are about to get sold out yet again. (The New York Times, FRYYY.)

This article REALLY angers me. Does PETER W. GALBRAITH
have no journalistic integrity, or is he just trying to make Americans hate America? He REALLY needs to get his facts straight!

The TRUTH about the Kurds are that we were flying in the Northern No Fly zone to save 3 factions of Kurds from Iraqi destruction. Each of the 3 groups was vying for power over the others. To gain power, one of the groups traded important information on US tactics and plans with Saddam in exchange for an upper hand in the 3-way Kurdish quarrel and immunity to Iraqi attack.

The Kurds sold out. They sold the brave Americans who were watching their backsides out! The Kurds are not honorable and not worth our time because they stabbed us in the back less than 10 years ago.

Just as we are not fighting for the French, we are NOT fighting for the Kurds this time.

OK, Theo, I've looked and looked and still can't figure out what FRYYY stands for. Care to enlighten me?
