Peshmerga forces control both Gwer and Makhmour towns from the control of the Islamic State ISIS insurgents after a fee days of heavy confrontations between the two sides.
The well-organized operation by Peshmerga forces backed by air strikes, started early Sunday, August 10, 2014 and in the afternoon of the same day both Gwer and Makhmour were completely retained by Kurdish forces. The attacks left a lot of casualties among the ISIS members and forced them out of both towns, south west of the Kurdish Capital City of Erbil.
During the couple days of ISIS control over the area, Peshmerga Forces showed significant level of resistance and determination to regain the lost areas. Volunteers from the locals fought hand in hands with the Peshmerga and had a significant impact in raising the moral of the Peshmerga and the victory over insurgent groups.
Despite the fears of locals and concerns about logistics and arms issues, Peshmerga forces announced their full control over the whole area and determination for future advances in other war zones.
Additionally peshmerga Forces are still working very hard to extend humanitarian aid to the Yezidi IDPs in Mount Sinjar and help them evacuate from the mountains and move to safe areas within Kurdistan Region via Western Kurdistan soil.
WHEN THE F... ARE WE GOING TO GIVE THESE GUYS WEAPONS AND SUPLLIES??? WTF IS WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY?
Obama, Democrats, MSM, Congress...in that order.
That’s hopeful. Too bad the administration has rage Kurds on their “do not resuscitate” list.
i know...I’m just so enraged I can’t see straight.
the frustration at knowing what to do and not being able to do anything about it is just madnning.
I would move the MSM to the front of that list.
I expect to see reports that the Yezidi and Kurd terrorist are killing their own children to entice the Americans to fight against the poor IS civilians just trying to survive.
To me it is no longer the “mainstream media,” but the RAT shilling corupt media.
The U.S. already gave a lot of weapons to those guys. (If you’re referring to ISIS, that is.) ISIS are the guys Obama was (is) arming in Syria, and probably Libya before that. They are the “guys” that Obama and Kerry wanted to support with air strikes on Syria.
(I know you actually mean the Kurds, and other people ISIS is trying to wipe out — and I completely agree with you about that. I’d also like to see Canada, and other NATO countries step up. It’s been a while, since we were on the right side of one of these “Arab Spring” battles.)
We know where you are at brother.
Hi guy, good to see your moniker. I hope you are doing well.

What happened to the, “and I,” part of the post?
Must be fat finger syndrome.

If our half-wit 'leaders' would give the Kurds more weapons and provide air support, they'd throughly defeat the Islamic State in that part of Iraq.
Ditto. There will always be obammys trying to rule but without a complicit media they wouldn't stand a chance.
