Go Kurds!

Michael Totten has a fascinating post on the Kurds and their mounting number of victories against ISIS (H/T: Small Dead Animals).

A sample: “Picking a fight with the Kurds is a little like going to war against Lebanon's Druze or the Israelis. It's like trying to invade and occupy Texas.”

The pictures are inspiring. They say Islamists killed by women fighters believe they go to hell, haha:

The Kurds could be another ally in the Middle East, so naturally Obama's administration refuses to help them. I have disliked presidents before, but I never hated one until now.

Rebecca, I agree, we should assist the Kurds to form their own country - that'll piss off Iran and Turkey :-)
