Quotes & Sayings About Peshmerga

I left Kurdistan in April 2003 with the peshmerga, following their excited advance as Saddam's forces crumbled.

ISIS is a formidable foe, but the counter forces to it have only just begun and if these forces, the Iraqi army, the Kurdish Peshmerga, American air power, the Syrian Free Army, work in a coordinated fashion, it will start losing ground.

Large parts of those territories that ISIS supposedly controls are vacant desert. — Fareed Zakaria
