Kurdish isis 600x400
The Kurds have done very well with not much aside from fierce wills and determination. They need to be armed to the teeth and given as much support as possible, and the Iraqis need to be made to understand that the Kurds are fighting for and with them and pushed to integrate their fighting forces with better communication and collaborating maneuvers.

Thoughts?

Ancient tribal warfare -- Turkey shunning a Kurdish Nation -- they fight for survival, and if they are our ally, will they somehow be granted an independent state?

I think so. We have been protecting them for a while now, even had operations just to protect them, so we should support them as the main body effort to whip isis if we can. now I know Iran is pushing the shia mujh into the fray even with them being the same dudes we as a coalition were fighting like x years ago. either way lets just hope isis gets whipped.

Slippery slope... Today's allies are tomorrows assailants. Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.

Sorry MSgt for my ignorance, but why were they trying to kill U.S. Troops at that time? It seems they would actually be a good ally and great asset. Please correct me if I'm misinformed.
