You'd think the Bushies would at least be good at selling people out, but it doesn't seem like they are even doing this correctly.
The obvious (although clearly evil) thing to do immediately after the fall of Baghdad was to arm the Kurds, give them logistical support, and let them mop up the Baathist remnants. They would have been brutally effective, and happy to do the job!
Then, after they've done your dirty work for you, bring in Turkish troops to knock them back down so they don't get any ideas that they are actually powerful. Again, no problem for Turkey, and they'd also be happy to do it!
I mean c'mon, this is like evil empire 101.
