Fall and winter in Iraq

These are from my first couple of months in Iraq, and it's been pretty interesing. First: the Baji oil refinery north of Kirkuk. Highly desputed oil reserves between the Iraqis and the Kurds. Second: I tried to find a box big enough for me to fit in so that DHL could send me home. Third: Talifar air base. Forth and fifth: Our push north from Kuwait.
