I've got my clipboard, text books, lead me to the station, yeah, I'm off to the civil war

Building a bit on the title from Steve Gilliard.

From the Boston Globe.

As many as 500 Kurds a day streamed into Kirkuk last month in a land rush that took city officials and U.S. troops by surprise. The influx, which has slowed in September, leaves the nascent city government struggling to cope with dozens of refugee camps on once vacant patches of ground...

U.S. officials say the surge is timed to establish residency ahead of elections slated for January. A strong showing for Kurdish leaders could shift Kirkuk province which sits atop 6 percent of the world's known oil reserves into the orbit of the Kurdish autonomous regions to the north.

Yes, the Turks will surely stand for this.

Iraq 2004 and beyond...pick your favorite type of civil and/or external war.
