The Iraqi Kurds : a valuable ally in the us invasion of Iraq (2003)‎

الملخص EN

It has been stated that the Kurds have no friends but the mountains.

However, this statement proved incorrect during the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, as the US-Kurdish relations improved and became stronger than any time before.

The present work tends to investigate the crucial role that the Kurds played in the US war on Iraq.

And the major issue of the paper is centered on how the Iraqi Kurds, who had been betrayed by the Americans in the past times, became a reliable US ally and an effective player in the war.
