Thoughts for – Dec 6th 2013
Psalm 121
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. _______________________________________________________________
Update:
BGG - [Is Iran a major player now? Or Maliki, IMF? Who should we watch for some positive real news?] Iran always has been – they are the number one reason the IQD stays low. Period. [What has to happen for the RV to take place?] Maliki to see it as an advantage or someone to override him. [What are your contacts saying as for the Maliki group, IMF pulling the trigger, Or a major event we should see soon?] Unless there is some previous “irregular agreement” with the IMF – I am suspicious they don’t have the horsepower to do this on their own. JMHO. [I thought BGG had said from now to Dec 15th? When did it get moved to Jan 15th?] No – sorry. Some mis-communication – I said between now and Jan 15th was a very good window…quite honestly I feel like we really are in a good window. How wide – who can know for sure??

BGG - This implies a number of things to me -
1) They aren’t using smart cards yet (I told you so)…
2) They don’t intend to until after the elections…
3) They are likely just saying this as an enticement to voters hoping to eventually get some financial relief.

Washington’s Lack of Policy on the Kurds
By DAVID ROMANO
For some time now, Washington’s policy on the Kurds has seemed hard to follow. It should be obvious to even the lowliest State Department student intern that the United States has a better, more solid potential ally in the Iraqi Kurds than in Baghdad. In Iran, Kurdish opposition groups offer a ready lever against Teheran. In Syria, the Kurds offer the Americans the only armed force with both a proven track record fighting jihadis and a stance in opposition to the Assad regime. As a whole, the Kurds appear to be the most pro-American, Western-oriented and secular group of any significant size in the Middle East.
Yet somehow Washington fails time and time again to get too close to the region’s approximately 30 million Kurds. We used to blame Turkey for America’s refusal to support Kurdish self-determination. That argument no longer explains much, however, now that Ankara itself cozies up to the Iraqi Kurds. Remarkably, Turkey opened its consulate in Erbil months before the United States did. Turkey is signing independent oil and gas deals with the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq (KRG) while Washington and Baghdad protest the “violation of Iraqi sovereignty.” Exxon, Chevron and other American oil companies sign deals with the KRG, and Washington insists that it can only tolerate such arrangements if Baghdad’s consent for them is secured.
Has the world gone mad, or is it just the diplomats in Washington that have taken leave of their senses? In trying to understand the American’s position, I asked colleagues, KRG leaders, Turks and whomever else I came across for explanations. The responses I received touched on a number of factors, none of which satisfied me. “The Americans have lots of Arabists but almost no one who understands the Kurds,” a KRG leader said to me. “Americans only understand their brand of fairly centralized federalism,” a Canadian friend told me. “The ‘experts’ and advisors they go to for advice are mostly anti-Kurdish,” a Kurdish friend said. “All Washington wants is stability in the region, and they think Kurdish self-determination will destabilize things,” a colleague pointed out. “They are simply clueless in Washington,” a family member insisted to me.
Washington fails time and time again to get too close to the region’s approximately 30 million Kurds. We used to blame Turkey for America’s refusal to support Kurdish self-determination. That argument no longer explains much, however, now that Ankara itself cozies up to the Iraqi Kurds.
Perhaps there is a bit of truth in all the responses I heard. I cannot imagine that Washington is so overrun with Arabists that the country can no longer recognize its own self-interests, however, and I think there are plenty of experts in comparative federalism available in America. I know that the U.S. government regularly solicits advice from a variety of experts as well, although I can’t say whether or not they automatically assume that the “anti-Kurdish” ones are somehow objective or more credible. If Washington wants stability in the Middle East, I would also expect them to attach a higher priority to allowing the Kurds in all parts of Kurdistan the rights they were so long denied – which one would think was the point of over two dozen major Kurdish revolts after World War One in Turkey, Iran, Iraq and now Syria.
Finally, an article in The National Interest caught my attention and leads me to a variant of the ‘clueless’ explanation. In “The Rise of Greater Kurdistan,” Ted Carpenter writes:
U.S. officials, on the other hand, are acting like deer caught in the headlights. There are few signs of a coherent policy, despite growing evidence that the “Kurdish question” is becoming an ever more prominent and potentially disruptive factor. Washington officially continues to support the regime in Baghdad as the legitimate government of all Iraq, even as that government exercises no meaningful authority over the Kurdish north. The Obama administration professes to share Ankara’s commitment to Syria’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, even as the country fractures and the Kurdish region in the northeast moves rapidly toward de facto independence.
Perhaps there is no coherent U.S. policy because President Obama has failed to come up with one. Busy with other priorities, the “big thinker” in the White House has yet to give his diplomats any new orders vis-à-vis the Kurdish issue. Otherwise capable and savvy diplomats then become the “deer caught in the headlights.” Lacking a top-level reappraisal of policy, cautious diplomats insist on remaining more Catholic than the Pope – even while Turkish policy opens up and shifts gears (a bit like Pope Francis is doing, perhaps, but that’s another story). Although we know he seems quite fond of unmanned aerial vehicles, Mr. Obama should stop turning his diplomats into the drones of state sovereignty and “respect for central government authority.” It’s time to change the State Department’s standard operating procedures on the issue.
