I think Obama has to pull the chestnuts of the Bush debacle out of the fire. I think deep down he does not want Kurdistan to go under on his watch. There are probably two nations the USA will sort of go out of their way to protect because they have been such loyal allies (besides the UK and Japan): Poland and "Kurdistan".

He was totally correct in what he said about second thoughts on the pull out in 2011. I was there when we had 100,000 men and women in Iraq: the amount of troops had no impact on the increasing body count.
