Tom: I disagree. I think it is a case of negligence or even worse.

“This administration is using the PKK and other groups to go into Iran for black ops and intel”

I didn’t know that!.
It looks like a competition, then, between nations to see who can arm more militias. All sides define ‘good’ militias and ‘bad’ militias in terms of expediency, and self-interest. How can anyone possibly sort this out except by the ‘last man standing’ rule?
I think we (humankind) are nearing the edge of the precipice.

Maybe it’s the fact that the Clenis administration that put the PKK on the terror list. Maybe the fact that PKK has used northern Iraq as a staging post before the invasion and we’ve done nothing about it led to Turkey’s decision not to support or even participate in the 2003 invasion.

This administration is using the PKK and other groups to go into Iran for black ops and intel. Cernig at Newshoggs has followed this for a long time.

I don’t think it’s possible to control the flow of weapons in a place as chaotic as Iraq. The only way to have weapons notflow to the PKK or the Sadrists would be not to give out any at all.

I don’t think it’s malice or lack of concern on the part of the US that’s causing the problem, just general chaos. I think Turkey needs to take a deep breath (maybe have a cup of Turkish coffee ) and realize that Washington isn’tsupporting the PKK.

We can’t handle the 9/10pp guns on our own streets, what they hell made them think they could track 190,000 weapons in a foreign country-GET A FREAKING RECEIPT NEXT TIME!. We are very good at giving terrorists the means to attack us.

Then again, this is from the administration that couldn’t direct Global Theater down a one way street.
