As the President and his band of happy war makers implement plans to "garrison up", it has begun the betrayal of the Iraqi Kurds. I and many others saw this coming last year, but as usual the Kurds didn't make the headlines as the only democratic and safe entity in Iraq. With the election campaign the only focus of the bush-repugs, what matters now is slowing American body bags. It is chillingly fitting that the military and humanitarian frauds of this administration now bow before a theocratic shiite cleric who is dedicated to every value they've said we oppose, and will throw our only Iraqi ally to the tender mercies of those Arabs who will kill them. The last shred of American decency in Iraq is about to be torn. God help the United States of America.
