  <body>Anyone go to Baghdad via Kurdistan lately? I'm having a hell of a time getting an Iraqi visa from Damascus. I know that people used to get to Baghdad by getting their stamp in Kurdistan in the old days, but I haven't found anyone who has done it in years. 

I know that they still give you a ten day visa once you arrive at the border from Turkey or at the Irbil airport, but I'm not sure if the visa will fly all over Iraq.

Anyone know?</body>
