ok but the kurds are supposed to the guys that got gassed and chemical bombed by saddam and the Americans are using that as part of thier ammo against him and also accusing him of being part of the al-qaeda group . So why the hell would the kurds be part of that too ? :rolls: deffo some bullshit going on here somewhere as theres no way the Kurds and Saddam would be on the same side is there ? Or am I missing something here ?
