William Boardman | New US Policy: Kill the Kurds
William Boardman, Reader Supported News
Boardman writes: "The continuing incoherence, insanity, and ultimate inanity of US policy in and around Syria was highlighted brilliantly, albeit perhaps inadvertently, by Vice President Joe Biden on a state visit to Turkey August 24, when he threatened the most effective fighting force against the Islamic State - the Kurdish militias - with American punishment if they didn't play nice with the Turks."
