Thanks for these pics. I think there will be a huge regional war. Kurds must prepared for it. Our enemies are still denying our existence. At the end of the day we will f*ck the enemies and will show the world the very definition of the meaning ‘warrior people’!

Mod edit: Please don't use words like "Arabs" and "Turks" when you're describing a very broad subject as that is racism which is not allowed on this forum. Please isolate your target and chose words that are more appropriate.

I understand your anger but please no racism.

We could refer to the people as Arabic gentlemen or people of Arabic decent, or people as Turkish gentlemen or people of Turkish decent

We would ALL KNOW exactly who we mean

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. Using those words is fine. It's not fine when you say "Fuck all Arabs and Turks. That is just pure racism.

I'm actually glad this happened. It was a good wake up call for Kurds as we see all Kurdish parties in Kurdistan are now united, not only in Iraq but other regional states too.

Do you know what this does mean? This is an annexation and incorporation of Kirkuk into South Kurdistan! Be happy, we've got Kirkuk back!

WE HOPE SO

Question:
When Saddam was captured and his party of NOT NICE PEOPLE were overthrown WHY were not Kurdish lands in and around Kerkuk returned to their rightful owners the KURDS ? ? ?

We all know how Saddam had pushed Kurds out of Kerkuk and off their farms and businesses and replaced Kurds with NOT NICE ARAB GENTLEMEN They should have been removed the same way Saddam was removed

Because according to the USA "not a nice part of the Arabs" would become reasonable people with whom you can talk after democracy was established. Kurds thought that Kurds would get Kirkuk peacefully.
"Not a nice part of the Arabs, Turks and Persians" don’t understand what democracy means. They’re back warded and don’t fit in this modern world. The only language they understand are the bullets.

Well done!

Maliki is very stupid, a few days ago, he sent troops and tanks to the Hamrin MOUNTAINS. I mean come on, that is suicide. A war between the Iraqi army and Peshmerga is for sure, a victory for the Peshmerga. People, including the Kurds, have underestimated the Peshmerga. Only a few days ago did I find out that we have the best rockets in our possesion:
http://ekurd.net/mismas/articles/misc20 ... te6636.htm

ERBIL-Hewlêr, Kurdistan region 'Iraq',— A high ranking officer from Peshmerga armed forces told (Malpress) website that the Iraqi government is unaware of the rocket launchers Peshmerga have in its possessions.

The officer referred to the type of the rockers and said, "the rockets (TOW RF), (TOW 2A) (Hyper velocity Anti-Tank Missiles HATM) and (A6), are more than enough to shatter Maliki's tanks into bits and pieces".

These small rockets are affective and quite strong, and they are placed on the top of faster moving vehicles so it can move from one spot to another quite quickly, currently only the US, Israel and South Korean armies have them in their possessions, Malpress reported.

Another military expert in Peshmerga said that "the Iraqi army do not have these missiles but Peshmerga forces have 29 of the launchers with 1000s of rockets, this weapon is the production of (Raytheon) US weapon manufacture, it can destroy its target in the 5kms range in just 2 seconds".

The commander of Kurdish Peshmerga forces warned Tuesday that his troops might attack Iraqi government soldiers at "any minute" after the central government sent tanks and armoured vehicles toward the disputed city of Kirkuk.

A local official source revealed Wednesday, bringing a "substantial" military force of Peshmerga to the Kurdish district of Khanaqin in anticipation of the entry of any forces belonging to Dijla operations to the district.

Tuz Khurmatu, last Friday witnessed fierce clashes between Kurdish Peshmerga forces and Iraqi Tigris (Dijla) Operations Command TOC troops,www.ekurd.net during which Two people were killed and 10 others wounded.

The clashes erupted in Tuz Khurmatu district in Salahuddin province when Iraqi soldiers attempted to search a house belonging to a Kurdish official Goran Najam, a member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan PUK, officials said. Iraqi President Jalal Talabani is the current leader of the PUK, Reuters reported.

Barzani ordered its Peshmerga security forces on high alert, a statement issued on Saturday said, attributing the move to clashes with central government forces. An Iraqi general however said that the clashes in question came during an arrest attempt and did not involve the Peshmerga.

Also Massoud Barzani said Saturday the region was fully prepared to defend itself, after a skirmish between Iraqi forces and Kurdish troops along their disputed internal border.

While Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki stressed that "the movement of the Iraqi army must be free on every inch of the land of Iraq, and provinces or territory have no right to object", describing the movement of the Peshmerga in the disputed areas as "legal and a constitutional violation."
