Are you really sure about this? Any other sources? I cannot imagine the US selling these helicopters to the Kurds for fear of pissing off Turkey and Iraq.

The Iraqi Kurds wanted to prevent USA selling F-16 to Baghdad.
USA rejected Iraqi Kurds' demands. So the Kurds asked Washington "If you won't cancel the F-16 deal, then at least sell us Helicopters."

Nothing official and no signs (as of now), that USA will sell Iraqi Kurds any Helicopters.

Then we can sell Turkey & Iraq some also so they won't feel slighted.

The Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) is preparing to showcase its Anka, the national unmanned air vehicle (UAV), and T-129, the national attack helicopter developed in cooperation with Italians, at a ceremony on June 28.

LOL , a passport does not mean jack , he is my Australian passport with Kurdistani stamp on it at Erbil international airport . enjoy it ..

it reads (Kurdistan region government)

the word "iraqi" has nothing to do with kurdistan , iraq is a british and frence project and kurdistan was attached to this shithole iraq without kurdistani consent so we will set the records straight once and for all then after we will come after other parts , now the syrian kurdistan has gained autonomy so two more parts to go .

Syrian kurdistan

Washington to Baghdad: F16 for lifting embargo on Exxon

1/7/2012

Shafaq News / The Iraqi government revealed on Sunday that the United States is pressuring it strongly to lift the embargo on Exxon Mobil which is an American multinational oil and gas corporation and threatened not to provide them with the F16 aircrafts.

An informed source close to the government, who asked not to be named to the sensitivity of the information, told "Shafaq News", that "The United States is pressuring strongly on the Iraqi government to lift the ban on oil company Exxon Mobil."

"These pressures took many forms and reached to threats of not supplying Iraq with the F16 aircraft unless lifting the embargo on Exxon Mobil,” the source added.

“The Iraqi government will not lift the embargo on Exxon Mobil unless it finds a national necessity in it,” the source said.

The Ministry of Oil had excluded on 19 April 2012 Exxon Mobil from the licensing round which was held at the end of last May, without addressing the fate of its contract held in the West Qurna field.
