    They did that with the Kurds in Iraq in '91, too. Then dropped them like a hot potato, after which the regime fucked them up good. I hope they remember.

    CIA gave up Kurds a couple of weeks ago to ex-ISIS military forces. Now they want Kurds to fight in a country they have no interest in at all.
