Kurdistan
A conversation with the president of Iraq's most successful region.

ERBIL, Iraq--Unlike Baghdad, 200 miles away, the air here does not echo with the sound of gunfire, car bombs and helicopters. Residents of this city of a million people picnic by day in pristine new parks and sip tea with friends and relatives at night. American forces are not "occupiers" or the "enemy," but "liberators." Mentioning President Bush evokes smiles--and not of derision.

American forces were "most welcome" when stationed here at the start of the invasion of Iraq, says Massoud Barzani, the president of Kurdistan in the north. Not a single U.S. soldier was killed in his region, he adds proudly, "not even in a traffic accident." Would U.S. forces be welcome back now? "Most certainly," he declared this week in an interview in his newly minted marble (and heavily chandeliered) palace. The more American soldiers the better, a top aide confirms.

1. Who in hell would bother to pay this idiot to hand out opinions

about something she knows nothing about?
Who? Probably the criminal cabal.

She has precisely zero credibility and has shown her willingness-nay enthusiasm-for selling her principles and lying about it.

2. Something she forgot to mention...

Kurdistan was this way BEFORE the war, too, thanks in no small part to Clinton's ongoing support.

No surprise that this appears in the WSJ.
