I think this says a lot about the "eminent threat"

Not all Kurds are anti-Iraq. Not all Kurds belong to the same faction.

Weren't you the one trying to call Saddam an equal opportunist mass murderer? I think you're confused.

Saddam wasn't some liberal or progressive leader, and his support/opposition wasn't as black and white as you seem to think. Remember that when Saddam stopped the coup attempt against him after the first Gulf War it was because of inside tip offs. Once again it's a case of "my brother, my enemy". To understand why Kurds, Bin Laden and Saddam would all work together you have to also ask yourself why Saddam and Iran would want to work together? Or Syria with Sadam? You don't have to agree or like your partners in terror to make deals with them, and use their resources.
