Bumping because question is legit, I'm actually going there and I'd like some advice, even if it's about Interceptor vests.

US forces routinely bomb/raid hospitals and other infrastructure, citing 'propaganda dissemination' as the rationale.

The propaganda in question is actual casualty figures and other information.

in the spirit of /n/(rip) i shall comment...

kurds in the north of 'iraq'(iraq: the country with arbitrary borders created by the british in the 1920s) have a large chunk of iraq's oil fields. the south of iraq, which is predominantly shia, has the remainder of the oil fields. central iraq, the largely sunni part(sunnis being the rulers of iraq since it's inception) has almost no oil fields.

therefore a unification of iraq requires the kurdish north to remain a part of iraq, not defect and become their own country of kurdistan. iraq would lose about half of their largest revenue, oil, if a kurdistan were to be created separate from iraq.

That's correct, but "the unification of Iraq" is not exactly high on the list of priorities for either the Kurd politicos or the European... organizations... I'm going to be representing there.

The Kurd "Other Iraq" propaganda claims there are only 200 or so American soldiers in Northern Iraq. Is this true? Am I to believe I will nowhere run into CIA/DoS officials actually running the show?
