The other day Stars and Stripes ran an article on the investment campaign by the Kurdistan Development Company (part of the Kurdistan Regional Government) to investors. There was another thread before published under:

US investors cautious on Kurdistan

The first of the first 3 ads, "Thank you" is awesome!

This sort of positive vision of what Iraq could become (hmmm...kind of like the eternal optimism of Ronald Reagan) would encourage American to maintain their resolve to finish the job.

It is too bad this can't receive more play...it really would change minds on Iraq.

TXGR - in Baghdad

I've seen it several times - it's a great ad. But I've only seen it on FOX.

There are also some longer, 10 minute videos, that give the history of the Kurds, their relationship with the West, and the investment opportunity there.

Personally, given the huge untapped oil reserves there, I plan on putting some money in a Kurdish bank for investment in other companies. Even if the currency ends up being exchanged for something else, the money in the Kurdish bank will be translated to Kurdish currency, with the backing of these oil reserves.

Do youself a favor, see the "thank you ad" and watch the "who are the Kurds?" video.

I'm glad to see the Kurds doing so well. I pray for their continued success....

...but I'm afraid the US may double-cross their attempts for self-government in order to appease Turkey & our other Muslim "allies". Think "Bay Of Pigs".....

Hope I'm wrong...

You can say that again. The RNC ought to play it non stop just before the election. It could do a lot to elect Republicans. More than their own stupid commercials.
