ARTICLE: Iraqi general's presence in Kirkuk stirs dark memories, By Ned Parker, Los Angeles Times, March 26, 2009

Now the serious squeeze begins. Kurds always knew it was coming, just spooky using an old Saddam general who did some of it last time.

My sense is that the Kurds will never get Kirkuk and will have to be satisfied with the trio of provinces.
