Abbot claims Canada has already committed.
Did I miss something, cuz I don't remember hearing about us going to Iraq.

A couple of hundred Canadian military "advisors" are the guests of the Kurds. We are also sending planes-full of materiel to the Kurds (500 tonnes? so far). Anyway, the Kurds have stated that they don't want us to fight their battles for them and that they are quite capable themselves, which is probably quite true. Perhaps, those advisors are going to teach them how to use the gear that we're chipping in.
