You have a cite showing that the US controlled the Northeastern part of Iraq? How large of an occupying army did we have there at that time? Would you care to list the divisional level armed forces that the US had deployed in Northeastern Iraq at the time? Thanks SO much.
There's a MAJOR difference between having a few handfuls of people in a large geographical area, and actually CONTROLLING that area. We've got troops in Cuba. Do we control Cuba? Of course not. Well, wait, I guess depending on your perspective, you could argue it, but still...
