How many got killed in that "sortie" Bobert.

Hey, Folkiedave, those rascally Kurds have signed another four oil deals, which the Iraqi oil minister is calling illegal, but which I am pretty sure they aren't on account of there being no law in place for them to break, but Folkiedave, can you explain to us why the Kurds should be thanked for doing so, and ultimately will be thanked for doing so. French and Canadian companies are involved I believe and one of the contracts involves a refinery.
