This crap is so confusing.

Are the Kurds fighting Israel as well, or it that Hamas? Help. I just can't keep up with all of this.

And they say that Iraq will fall apart if a new government isn't formed, yet they now have 3 groups fighting?


And this basically means that gas prices are about to skyrocket, no?

No. Kurdish Iraq has been semi-autonomous even back to Hussein's days, and by the standards of that part of the world run things fairly well. It's a wonder why they haven't done something like this a long time ago.

Doubtful. Those fields mostly produce fuel internally for Iraq. The Maliki govt has been withholding refined gasoline from the Kurds for years. The wanted the oil fields in order to supply themselves with fuel.
