The Kurdish Al Ahali Newspaper published an editorial on its front page outlining what issues the United States was ready to wage war over.
"These constants directly or indirectly affect the major U.S. interests," the paper said in the editorial titled "U.S. Strategy in the Middle East."
The "constants" are the guarantee of the flow of oil; the safety and security of Israel; the safety and security of U.S. allies, especially the oil exporting countries; and to prevent non-allies from owning nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction.
"We know that the U.S. will not be silent towards any threat to these four constants, and that it is ready to be involved in worse wars to protect them," the paper said.
"To analyze if this is a right or a wrong policy," the editorial said, "is not the point here."
