Thousands of Kurds from Northern Iraq could end up in Baghdad as a result of U.S. President George W. Bush's new Iraq war strategy, a published report said.

Citing U.S. and Iraqi officials, the newspaper said the strategy calls for between 8,000 and 10,000 Iraqi troops to be deployed to the capital from other parts of Iraq. As many as 3,600 of the troops could be Kurds, and it would be the first time such a large number of Kurdish forces have been assigned to Baghdad.

The possible deployment has raised concerns among Kurds that they are being pulled into a civil war, the Times said.

"I advise the Kurdish people to apply pressure on their leaders to prevent this step," said Mohammed Dayni, a Sunni lawmaker. He said Kurdish forces would face "firm resistance" from both Sunnis and Shiites. An aide to anti-American Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr told the newspaper Kurdish troops would not be welcome in Baghdad.

1. Bush will stop at nothing,

he needs bodies. It's like a new version of slavery. He knows a draft would bring an end to his profitable war, so he'll drag in ayone he may have power over.

4. The Kurds Get Screwed Yet Again...

Yeah, Numbnutz is really reaching now to send Kurds into Baghdad...against two sides that already hate them and all but ask for Sunni retribution in the Kurd areas around Mosul and Kirkuk. But then this isn't the first time the Repugnicans have left the Kurds literally high and dry...from 1975, when Ford & Kissinger signed off on Saddam's first butchering of the Kurds to Rummy and Raygun supply the chemical weapons in the 80s Saddam used on the Kurds to the '91 war where the Kurds were literally left hiding on mountainsides to escape Saddam's wrath. Now booshie is setting these people up for an even bigger fall when the U.S. troops are withdrawn. Sending Kurds into Baghdad will be remembered by the Sunni who surely will make sure the Kurds pay for their compliance with Boooshie. That is, if the Turks don't invade first.

5. By the time Bush is running from Iraq

the factions will be united with one purpose -getting the US out of Iraq.
