U.S. Slaps the Kurds; Considers Kirkuk Council Illegitimate

America Slaps the Kurds Hard

The United States dealt a hard blow to the vanity and conceit of Kurdish gangs. The Kurdish gangs teetered and woke up to the reality of their small miserable impact in the balance of power, feeling how weak and repudiated by the world they are, after the uncovering of their tribal chauvinistic and criminal practices.

Indeed in a declaration to the “Asso” newspaper on September 23, the US Consul in Kirkuk, Howard Keegan, called the Kirkuk Provincial Council illegitimate, because the 2005 elections were illegitimate. He also called the demands of the council to integrate Kirkuk within the district of Kurdistan illegitimate, and said that the Kurdish parties arranged the protests that took place in support of those demands

The consul further considered Article 24 an accomplishment that forced all parties to sit and engage in dialogue. He further warned the Kurds that they are not the only ones in Kirkuk as the area is also comprised of Arabs, Turkmens and Chaldean-Assyrians, an important indication accusing the Kurdish gangs of the ethnic cleansing of Iraqi citizens.

The American consul also accused the Kurds of changing their positions, a well-known behavior of Kurdish gangs, undeterred, in their deviance and readiness to commit the ugliest crimes, by any constitution, law or ethical standard.

And what may be the strongest indication from the US to Kirkuk is the consul’s declaration that “America supports the aspiration of the Iraqi population outside of the constitution.” The importance of such words lies in the fact that they express the fact that America is not convinced by the current constitution, that the US knows the said constitution to have been drawn by Iran’s agents and the Kurdish gangs, and that it is an illegitimate and ridiculous constitution. As such, the Kurds’ hanging to such a ridiculous constitution is, from now on, useless and the US is looking for a just solution to the cause of Iraqi Kirkuk – a solution that squashes Kurdish greed and preserves Kirkuk as an Iraqi City under Baghdad’s rule.

A logical realistic analysis reinforces the idea that US interests are with the majority of Iraqis, that US relations, after the courageous resistance of the “Sahawat” councils in the face of terrorism, have become dominated by its strategic alliances with the Arab Sunni Iraqis and the honorable Shiites, and that Kurds no longer have any importance as, in the first place, they do not carry the strategic weight, geographically or economically, to attract any state to establish friendly relations or cooperation with them. The Kurdish regions simply do not have any military or economic importance in the eyes of the US.

Besides, as a super power, America would not establish relations with tribal and chauvinistic Kurdish gangs that commit ethnic cleansing crimes against Arabs, Turkmens and Chaldean-Assyrians. The US also knows that the leaders of these Kurdish gangs will soon be in prison cells – after they commit the mistake of a lifetime, and use weapons against Iraqis in Kirkuk or Mosul or Diala.

Force and toughness is the language understood by the Kurdish gangs and they respond to it, as trafficking tribes, who attempt to rob Iraq of its resources and land. And the only possible way forward is to keep the Kurds under the hammer, just as Turkey is presently doing.
