Unless she was unstable and you knew it before selling her the gun.

Or, in the real world, if the CIA knew that countries often have conflicts, and there was even a slight chance that OBL and crew might have done something, and still trained them. :)

To clarify, my point was to give an example of how the US has not been great at choosing new governments, or follow-through in general, after forcing regime changes.

You're 100% right. The US has made several BAD choices. OBL is one. Hussein is another. Now the US is trying to clean up its mess.

Please do not pretend you are stupid Corey, because I know that is far from the truth. My point is that it's looking good that they will make another bad choice in the wake of this regime change.

Turkey has warned that it will intervene if Kurdish troops enter Kirkuk, a city that Turkey itself lays claim to. Washington has put heavy pressure on the Kurds to stand back.

Nasradin insists the Kurds are patient, well-disciplined and will follow orders. But he also says civilians, or what he calls "tribal armies" could move in to Kirkuk ahead of the formal Kurdish military.


It's just one more indication that a large number of Kurds will go back to Kirkuk to reclaim land from which they've been expelled.

It's not something that will go down well with Turkey and it could mean that if and when the war with Iraq is finally over, the regional conflicts may just be starting.

good to know that this war which is supposed to foster "the seeds of democracy" and create long term stability is more than likely gonna just end up being the beginning of more shit
go fuck yourself.
