There's a substantial group of Members of the House of both parties who have voted to cut all the CIA stuff off completely. So, I figure, if we pick a couple of poster children whose behavior is particularly egregious from the point of view of Members of Congress, many of whom have a lot of sympathy for the Kurds, not to mention irritation that CIA-backed groups are attacking Pentagon-backed groups, and probably not a lot of sympathy for the Turkish government right now as it pursues a scorched-earth policy against Kurds in Turkey, we might have a fighting chance.

According <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=vxl2UjaTrPXSwcRIpl0op9tomzsbtlgM> to the Los Angeles Times, CIA-backed groups that have attacked Syrian Kurds include Fursan al Haq and the Suqour Al-Jabal brigade. *Urge Congress to cut off all U.S. assistance to armed groups in Syria that have attacked Syrian Kurds. <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qWpRiNH0ZF%2BoFOgvoVCYCdtomzsbtlgM>* U.S. policy towards the Syrian Kurds can move. Many Members of Congress of both parties were never jazzed about CIA backing of jihadist groups in Syria in the first place. And even the New York Times is now saying <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=x0RxFh5Oz3mQ6lI4yDa1attomzsbtlgM> that the U.S. should be open to Kurdish proposals for self-rule in Syria. *Urge Congress to cut off all U.S. assistance to armed groups in Syria that have attacked Syrian Kurds by signing and sharing our petition now <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=rty0lslqtyC9kONAA0MTd%2FA2y2BlnD0d>.* Thanks for all you do to help make U.S. foreign policy more just, Robert Naiman, Avram Reisman, and Sarah Burns Just Foreign Policy *Help support our work!* If you think our work is important, support us with a $15 donation. http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/donate <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qf%2F7yA4g8leuXYKWHtQzS9tomzsbtlgM> [image: Please support our work.
