River Bend Comments on 'The Cruel Month...'
River Bend at Baghdad Burning: "Ever since Jalal Talbani was named president, there have been many angry Shia.

Talbani is known for his dealings with Turkey, Britain, America and other and his feuds with [Massoud] Barazani have led to the deaths of thousands of Kurds."
