Bruning in Iraq meeting with Kurdish officials
Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb - Attorney General Jon Bruning is in Iraq this week with a small delegation speaking with Kurdish officials.
Bruning spoke Wednesday from the relatively peaceful area of northern Iraq. He says the delegation hoped to help the United States maintain good relations with Kurds.
He says the U.S. will abandon the Kurds again if a Democrat wins this November.
Thousands of Kurds were slaughtered in the 1990s after they rebelled against former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein with encouragement of the United States.
Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, Oregon state Sen. Jason Atkinson and some Oregon businesspeople are with Bruning.
Bruning says the trip is being paid for by the Kurdistan Regional Government.
