“The Kurds have loyally and faithfully assisted America since the JFKennedy administration, where Gen Richard Secord led Special Forces with their assistance. We should expand our involvement with the Kurds, and assist [or at least get the hell out of the way of] the formation of a Greater Kurdistan. A Kurdish nation encompassing the ethnic Kurds of Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran, would provide a safe and secure platform from which US military can assist them in maintaining peace and civilization in the region. Kurdistan and Israel are our only reliable partners in the region.”
