I think you might have a failure in your sarcasm detector, Spud.. 🙂

There is a good reason for the poor oil and gass production in Deirzzor. It has been bombed to **** over the last two years. Most infrastructure is gone. No electrisity, no nothing.
But in the hands of the Kurds(USA), it can be rebuild again.

Trust me, everybody will be happy to rebuild it, not just the Kurds.

FalconDude: Don’t be naieve.. This has never been bout Kurdish people and their strive for independence.. It was all about installing Barzani, a multibillion dollar bank tycoon to power to control a 2-mil-barrel-daily worth of Iraqi oil from Kirkuk and Hassan fields and then pass it over for rock bottom prices, mostly to Israel.. no one has ever cared about Kurds in this chess game, the less Barzani himself, for him they are just tools to get to the big money..
Iraqi PM has made a short process there and retaken Kirkuk in one swift blow, a move which has caught Netanyahu rather unprepared.. Peshmerga forces were left alone in this.. and Barzani? He refused to candidate in the next elections.. suddenly, without Iraqi oil, the noble “Kurdish fight for independence” doesn’t look that much appealing to him, anymore..

Are you really saving anything when you need to phase out a whole small air force of aircraft without future?

That does dot mean Czechs are going to buy UH-1Ys, it only means they get the permission to buy them if they choose to do so..
