The neocon-ish Rand just popped up again. He told CNN:
The other thing I would do, is one of the things we did during the surge. People talk about American troops during the surge, one of the other things we did was put a lot of money into assistance to the Sunni chieftains to encourage their support. If you weigh that amount of money worth what we're spending on other things, I think it would be money well spent to try to encourage the allegiance of the Sunni chieftains again.
RW I think you missed the bigger issue.
ReplyDeleteThis bozo wants to recognize Kurdistan(which I'm fine with), but will send the Turks into a frenzy.
I sense a "retraction " by the Rand RepubliCAN campaign coming.
As for the Sunnis.
The U.S. screwed them after the surge.
I tend to doubt they want to do anything for America again.
