DO NOT Arm The Kurds

Another of the Pentagon's nutjobs thinks we should arm the Syrian Kurds:

Anyone who understands how much the Turks and Syrians LOATHE the Kurds would realize this is an extremely bad idea. The only way this would "be in our interest" is if we want to continue licking the boots of the Israelis.

Don't do it. Autonomy for the Kurds can only come through negotiation, and none of the affected parties will EVER go for such a thing.
