just in case you missed it: yesterday 72 people were killed in a truck bombing in Kirkuk

in Northern Iraq.

I haven't seen a post on this. I know we're all fixated on Iran, but in Iraq things aren't looking so good.

1. I did put a post on it in LBN yesterday

but it hasn't attracted much attention.

It's also had almost no play in the news in the UK - I'm guessing that goes for the USA too. Yeah, I guess too much attention on Iran.

2. thanks.

didn't see your post but I'm not surprised by the lack of response. And I don't think it's only because of the focus on Iran. People are tuning out Iraq and have been doing so for quite a while.

3. read that yesterday..

that area of iraq will be at war a long time after we leave....well if we ever do leave. the kurds have a rather large amount of oil in their land and they do`t want to share it with the rest of iraq.

iraq is old news.
