Allow the purchase of Kurdish oil and provide lend-lease aid of military and medical equipment to the Peshmerga.

Created by J.W. on October 27, 2014

The Peshmerga are the only ally of ours on the ground that's actively fighting ISIS. They fight to protect human rights, dignity, and innocent people. They have always been our friends. Yet day by day they get outgunned on the ground by ISIS fighters, even with our air support. We need to loan them weapons and vehicles of all sorts so they can effectively combat ISIS by themselves without our intervention. We should also accept the sale of Kurdish oil so they could pay for whatever equipment they couldn't return to us.

We didn't sit silently by as the United Kingdom and the USSR fought the Nazis. We loaned them high grade equipment to fight. We can't afford to be quiet this time either. We must help our friends in some way!
