Vote: have we lost in Iraq?

[Culpeper]

Thanks for catching the grammatical error! It is not a contradiction, of course.

More formally I should have said “There is no insurgency in the Kurd regions, but that does not mean that the central gov't rules there. It means that the Kurd insurgency has won. They (the Kurds) now control an Army (Peshmerga), run a gov't, levy taxes, etc.”

No problem

You have to be careful on this forum. All of us have already taken all the prerequisites.
