Fine, according to the dictionary definiton they are Iraqis. But in the context of "Iraqis are fighting alongside the US", they are not "Iraqis". The majority of US efforts are concentrated on areas inhabited by the Shia and Sunnis, not the Kurds in the north. So, if you are trying to say that the locals are helping out, people are helping out but they are not the locals.

Where did I say they were locals? I thought using the term KURDISH PESHMERGAS would have made it ****ing obvious they weren't locals helping out.

Thats a circular arguement. Have you considered that the US aren't concentrating on the North precisely because the Kurds are their allies?

Don't start re-writing what Iraqi means just because you want to say all the iraqis hate America.

I hate politics cause of its sheer complexity and near uselessness when it comes to getting things done properly.......plus it only confuses me.....
And I didnt label all politicians as liars.....you just put those words in my mouth, which might I point out, is not very adult of you.
