Divided We Stand
Michael Totten is in Kurdistan, where he writes:
Iraq may not survive in one piece. The overwhelming majority of Iraqi Kurds are packing their bags. Most have already said goodbye. Erbil (Hawler in Kurdish) is the capital of the de-facto sovereign Kurdistan Regional Government. Baghdad is thought of as the capital of a deranged foreign country.
On this same theme I wrote a couple years ago that
The longer the insurgency continues, the more sense partition makes. Problem is, the bespoke-shoes boys at the State Department would never stand for it. (Neither would the UN – although State is a far greater obstacle than the idiots on the East River.)
I’d forgotten until reading Mike’s post that I’d written those words. Whatever happens to Iraq, it’s clearer than ever that the friction between State, Defense, the CIA, and the White House is doing us (and them) far more harm than good. With all that in mind, go read what else Totten has to say.
All will be well when the dems take back whatever.

I still can’t get over Nixon having to step down cos someone was passed over for a promotion.
My daughter’s history books will be an interesting read.
Speaking to the MSM;
“Are you going to stand up for the civilization that has pampered and coddled you? Or are you going to betray the legacy of cherished values that millions have fought and died to establish and defend for you, surrendering it all to rampaging nihilists who aim to drag us back into seventh-century barbarism”
My money is the American MSM takes the latter course described above.
With only the rarest of exceptions.
Caught this tidbit on houri. It seems that these are not earthly girls who died but heavenly creatures, and, it would appear, they can be deflowered and then automatically reflower.
