From what I hear, Obola promised arms to the Kurds, and has sent them nothing.

The Iraqi Kurds have received weapons from the US as well as from other countries. As of right now The US will not send weapons to the Syrian Kurds because they are labeled as a terrorist group.

American and French Weapons Reach Peshmerga Forces

I watched two news reports on the deliveries. They were thrilled to have 50 calibers with armored piercing and tracer rounds. They said they were superior to the Russian weapons they have now. Imagine, they had been doing very well with their old weapons so it can only get better for them. And to think the 50 cal is such a basic weapon for NATO or it used to be any way.
