RE: Why allow them to retreat? Why not drop them as they leave?
That’s the problem with the Kurds, they are not so much interested in eliminating ISIS and chasing them to the gates of hell as capturing and consolidating their own territory.
They also are very wary of overusing ammo as their weapons supply is limited.
They’ve been asking the West for ammunition and high powered weapons for the longest time... nothing forthcoming yet.
ISIS in retreat. The bombing campaign according to Obama is working, so let’s fire the Secretary of Defense.
Nice.
I thought that France, Germany and Israel were supplying them with ammo?
It would seem that we(the USA) would want to help the only real ally we had in Iraq, but that makes too much sense I guess. Lest we forget, not ONE US servicemen died during the Iraq war in Kurdistan.

They’ve probably never heard of sticks and stones.
