This is a conspiracy theory too far. Remember the thousands of sorties flown against the Iraqi army in the north by the USAF and the USN? These are crap at winning hearts and minds but just great at killing conventional troops in static defensive positions. I know that us lefties tend to spend a lot of time banging on about the smart bombs that miss, but most of them hit. Because of that, the yanks get about the same amount of explosives on target in a day that it took a month to deliver in WW2. No conspiracy is necessary to explain what happened.

It took the Kurds two days- TWO DAYS - to capture Kirkuk and Mosel from the Iraqi army. Simply not possible unless a secret US deal was cut with Hussein to stand down. _______________________________________________ Sent via the discussion list of the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq.
