Same here. I feel like if the US was to provide aid to any forces in Iraq (which I'm not necessarily in favor of), it ought to be the peshmerga. They're well-trained, dedicated, and have proven their effectiveness. And even beyond that, the rest of Iraq has been shitting on the Kurds for years. It's kind of gratifying to see them finally get some respect (and some Kirkuk).
