My understanding is that the Iraqi Kurds are not as tight with the Iranian ones?

I am probably way off base, but to me that's like saying an
Irish Catholic is the same as a Roman Catholic. I can think
of a few that would strongly disagree about being the same.
That's my interpretation.
With respect to the second part, I have to steal from Surgicalcric's
prior post: "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
I have to disagree with the idea that the uprising is against
the USA. Timing makes no sense to me. If we hand over authority
June 30 I expect we would gradually reduce forces. They want us
gone now and using tactics which, unfortunately, have typically
caused us to leave conflicts in the past. We are in the way, we
are not the target. IMHO.
