And Dear Leader said, "La La La, I Can't Hear You"

Juan Cole says that American Policy in Iraq is about to go 3 for 3 in pissing off ethnic groups to the point of armed conflict.

Such is the state of Chimptopia:

In my view, the threat of a serious conflict between the Kurdish paramilitary and the US is imminent. Once a new government is elected, if it can be, it may take decisions that the Kurds don't like. The US will then have a choice of supporting the Kurds or the government it itself had formed.

Such are the times when we are ruled by the man with an armidillo in his flightsuit.
