That's a scandalous claim. All he did was post it to the forum every time he was feeling wistful after one of his bong parties.1 point

In an outburst unusual even by his standards, President Trump explained one reason why he could not regard the Kurds as long-term partners: their failure to help the US and its allies in the Normandy landings. “The Kurds are fighting for their land,” he told reporters. “As somebody wrote in a very powerful article today, they didn’t help us in the Second World War, they didn’t help us with Normandy as an example . . . But they were there to help us with their land, and that’s a different thing.” In spirit, he seems to have been making a technical point about the difference between a longstanding alliance, such as the West’s with Turkey, and short-term co-operation with countries or local forces with which the West has a passing common interest His comments were immediately ridiculed, however, with critics pointing out that as of D-Day the Kurds, a landlocked, mountainous people living in the Middle East and Central Asia, were not well endowed with Marines and landing-craft. Moreover, Mr Trump was wrong in any case. The Kurds did help the British, US, and Allied efforts in Normandy, albeit obliquely. The raw facts were pointed out quickly by Akil Awan, an academic at Royal Holloway, University of London: the Kurds played a key role in the British occupation of Iraq during the Second World War, fighting alongside British troops who stepped in to block a pro-Nazi coup. Britain had been given responsibility for Iraq after the First World War under the Sykes-Picot agreement and, while the country won notional independence in 1932, London continued to keep a close strategic eye on it. It maintained a military presence, particularly on the RAF Habbaniyeh air base west of Baghdad, where fox-hunting British officers were supported by the so-called Iraqi Levies This force, first raised to support British rule at the end of the First World War, contained Iraqis of all sects and ethnicities but was dominated by minorities, particularly Assyrian Christians, Kurds and Yazidis. When a pro-Nazi politician seized power in 1941, the British invaded from Basra in the south. RAF Habbaniyeh was surrounded by pro-Nazi Iraqi forces, but the RAF, supported by contingents of the Iraqi Levies, broke out, pushed back and eventually reversed the coup. Dr Awan estimates that by 1942 Kurds made up 25 per cent of the fighting force of the Levies, and certainly in records from a year later ten of the 44 companies were said to be Kurdish. The Iraqi front was, of course, a long way from Normandy, and Hitler’s crack Panzer divisions were not involved. But there was a reason why Iraq was so strategically important: oil was the main driver of western interest in Iraq from 1918 onwards. Not for nothing did Britain demand — and win — control of the key northern Iraqi city of Mosul, which Sykes-Picot initially gave to French-controlled Syria. With major wells unveiled in the 1920s in nearby Kirkuk, the city the Kurds regard as their spiritual capital, the Kurds came to play a central role in world history for the first time, even if it was one from which they benefited little. The Americans and the British did benefit however, not least as they fuelled the landing craft on June 5, 19441 point

Why not say Rice was shite? Are you a member of the cockney press who is reluctant to criticise West Ham and England's average central mid-field player. ' Rose is down' said the commentator seconds before the second goal.The cheating cockney bastard stayed down in the hope that the ref would stop the game.Rose = cheating cockney bastard.He's always throwing himself to the ground in the hope he gets free-kicks and attention. Prickford was shite,was he? PRICKFORD IS SHITE and you know where you heard it first. Mount.Hyped to the rafters by the cockney press .Vastly overated and by a poster on here.Given time he may well become a decent Premier League player.Nowhere near at the moment.Turn the sound down the next time you watch Chelsea on MOTD and form your own opinion.0 points
