Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said in remarks aired on Saturday the creation of a federation based on ethnic divisions in neighboring Iraq would be dangerous, in an apparent reference to a Kurdish autonomy.
WHoopie! If he’s starting to whine about it, it must me that we are starting to seriously consider it.

Iraq’s neighbors have frequently voiced alarm that the overthrow of Saddam Hussein could split Iraq in three -- the Kurdish north, the Sunni Muslim center and Shi’ite south.
That’s because it makes sense.
Assad also questioned U.S. accusations that Islamist militant group al Qaeda and members of the former regime in Iraq were behind anti-U.S. violence in Iraq. "Is it reasonable that those hundreds of thousands (resisting occupation)...are all Qaeda? Or sympathizers with the regime of Saddam? If so that means it (the regime) was popular."
Ah yes, Saddam, AKA Sadaam, The Beloved Rapist, Torturer and Genocidal Murderer of Iraq |
