Yeah. Why don’t they help out Christians this way?
Turkey’s not gonna like that.
The Kurds have always been an effective and disciplined fighting force. They were invaluable during both battles for Fallujah.
They just need weapon systems and close air support, and they will defeat ISIL anytime, anywhere.
I’m glad we are arming the Kurds, for now. But the nature of the middle east is that, sooner or later, everything you do eventually bites you in the butt.
Somehow, someway, we will eventually be bitten by the Kurds. They can’t possibly be as saintly as we believe.
Still - for now, they’re the best ‘friend’ in Iraq/Syria - light years better than the ‘moderate rebels’.
The US is training the Peshmerga to be a professional army. The Kurds are going to want a lot of autonomy, like total autonomy when this is over. Lots of what they'd call Kurdistan is in Turkey. What's going to happen when the Pesmerga decide to free Turkish Kurds to join their new nation? Turkey's in NATO, so would there be obligations to defend them? Turkey's already being way too kind to ISIS fighters, so it's probably inevitable the fighting spills over into Turkey. Then the US will have obligations to both sides.
Obama's policy isn't to not fight wars. It's to pay others to fight the wars his globalist masters want. I guess the narcissist-in-chief thinks that the globalist wars are okay if someone else fights for him. It hasn't worked real well in Egypt, Libya, and Syria because those who fought the wars don't want to cede power when they've served their purpose.
Bottom line...this mess happened because Obama armed, trained, and financed others to fight his wars. And what he wants to do is more of that. It's insane.
So the mighty Pershmerga will be trained to:
Reduce global warming
Respect the environment
Enforce women’s rights
Support LGBT rights
At least we wont have to worry about turning their guns on our instructors for a change.
Naturally any weapons of signifignce the US sends to the Kurds will have to go through Bagdad first. And there the weapons will remain until ISIS comes to claim them.
Are we going to tell them to obey our ROEs and to be PC and allow Gays and females to serve? Or are we going to train them to kick butt and and let them go by their own ROEs and WIN wars? Look at them, they look like us not those toothless bearded uneducated savages of ISIS, and their roots go back to the Great Kurd, Saladin. And as far as I am concerned, I don’t care what they do with the ISIS prisoners, they can put dirty fouled panties on all their heads.
