America’s allies have made a turn FOR THE OIL and put our Holy War against ISIS, on hold. GREED has come to their rescue. How is Rubar Sandi of the Buck Institute handling this sick MONEY news? Why are we spending our tax dollars on this madness while Von Trump destroys the Republican Party founded by my kindred, and hurts the poor – with glee – in order to make himself look good! This is not the vision of Beryl Buck who may have loathed the Grab For Oil she saw all around her, by her kin!

McCain warns of ‘severe consequences’ if Baghdad uses US arms against Kurds

Korea policyMORE (R-Ariz.) warned Baghdad on Monday of “severe consequences” if it uses U.S. arms against the Kurds.
“The United States provided equipment and training to the government of Iraq to fight [the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)] and secure itself from external threats — not to attack elements of one of its own regional governments, which is a longstanding and valuable partner of the United States,” McCain, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement Monday.
“Make no mistake, there will be severe consequences if we continue to see American equipment misused in this way.”
Early Monday, Iraqi forces advanced into the disputed province of Kirkuk, which the Kurds have controlled since dispelling ISIS in 2014.
The U.S. military has trained and armed both Iraqi and Kurdish forces in the fight against ISIS.
The United States has urged both sides to remain focused on the fight against ISIS as the terrorist group is on the brink of defeat in Iraq.
The oil-rich Kirkuk province has been at the heart of the dispute between the Kurdish region and Iraq’s central government, and tensions between the two have risen since last month’s nonbinding vote for Kurdish independence.
PREFACE: I just got off the phone with Safia of the Buck Foundation. I basically told her I own a jewel encrusted glass slipper, and, was wondering if there are any feet to put it on. I commented on the irony of her name, and, she had an accent. I asked if she saw the movie ‘The DaVinci Code’. She had. I told her the architect, Pei, designed the pyramid over the Louvre, and there is a prophecy going on. I told her the Knights Templar were in one of my proposals. Here is Rubar Sandi’s main business.
Iraqi Forces, in Kirkuk, Say They’ve Taken Key Sites
KIRKUK, Iraq — Iraqi government troops entered the city of Kirkuk on Monday without a fight, taking up positions inside the city after Kurdish fighters withdrew, the Iraqi military command said.
Iraqi commanders ordered the operation after a contentious independence vote on Sept. 25 in the oil-rich Kurdish region in northern Iraq. Baghdad, Washington and most international leaders condemned the referendum.
The referendum significantly increased tensions in the region, with Iraq and the United States warning that it would effectively break up the country, undermine the fight against Islamic State militants, foment ethnic divisions and create instability.
Military commanders in Baghdad said their troops had taken control of an industrial district on the western edge of Kirkuk, as well as a power plant and refinery adjacent to the oil fields outside the city. The military command also said that government forces had secured control of a military airport west of the city.
As cheering crowds looked on, Iraqi forces removed a Kurdish flag that had flown over the governor’s compound and left intact an Iraqi flag mounted beside it, local officials said. They said Iraqi troops were driving through the city, removing pesh merga flags and banners and replacing them with Iraqi flags.
