Sudden death is indeed a frightening thing, and mass shootings, in particular, always bring pain and suffering.

Abadi - We will apply the constitution to all areas taken over after 2003 and after the entry of the Islamic State in 2014, and we will do that without shedding any blood.

Jim W. Dean - Iraq will never allow an independent Kurdistan that would roll out the red carpet for the Israelis to possibly move in air power. I fear this is going to get worse before it gets better.

Jim W. Dean - What I have been posing in my interviews over the last few days, that with only Israel supporting the Iraqi Kurdish separatist move, there will be no international group to oppose the sanctions that will be coming down on Kurdistan.

Jim W. Dean - The balloon is going up in Iraq, and a bizarre one at that. With only Israel publicly supporting Barzani, he is pushing ahead. He is not crazy, so he has to have more than Israel behind him.

Jim W. Dean - This move by Abadi begins the sanctions pressure we had anticipated, but does not explain why he has to ask for oil sanctions when Iraq, Turkey and Syria can block the export routes.

Jim W. Dean - Turkey's main concern is seeing the referendum trigger an uprising in its own unhappy Kurdish regions, when it already has serious concerns with a Kurdish independent state being carved out on its southern border with Syria.

Jim W. Dean - Standard current US geopolitical propaganda psyops focuses on framing anyone being able to defend themselves from American domination and aggression as a threat, so they can be subjected to financial sanctions and military action.

Jim W. Dean - The SAA struggles logistically with too many key tasks that all need to be done right away, like clearing ISIS from Deir Ezzor, widening the airport perimeter, and getting its forces west of the Euphrates to keep the Kurds from taking the oil fields there.

Jim W. Dean - More in-your-face Netanyahu duplicity here, pushing for the Kurds "to attain a state of their own", while he has always blocked such for the Palestinians, despite the UN resolutions supporting it, and none for the Kurds.

Jim W. Dean - Iraq could find itself between a rock and a hard place on this Kurdish referendum provocation. If it is not a real call for secession, then the goal may be as a show of political force to renegotiate keeping a bigger share of their oil revenues.

Jim W. Dean - The current Syrian Arab Army offensive is a wonderful display of combined operations, good target Intel over a fluid battlefield, with artillery, air power... both fighter bombers and helicopters, supporting infantry and armor on the ground.

A senior Iranian official has called on Iraqi Kurdish leaders to forgo a planned referendum for secession, warning that a possible breakup of the Arab country could have grave consequences for the security of the region.

The Pentagon announced Wednesday that it would start taking into account temporarily deployed military units when reporting troop numbers in Afghanistan, with updated numbers for Iraq and Syria to follow.

A Kurdish militant group claimed today that it has captured Turkish intelligence officers.

America had no legal or constitutional right to be involved in any of them!
