And of course you're aware of the fact that the US is partnering with the long-suffering Kurds in that region, so the numbers of human beings working to control the region is significantly more than 900. This is obvious.

And the only thing arguing against the truth of the reports that I can see is the faith that we are the good guys and would never do such a thing.

“No matter what men think, abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?”
