The National Security Council adviser in Kurdistan Region , Masror Barzani has warned from reports that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria “ISIS”

is preparing for a major confrontation with Peshmerga forces, and called on the United States to provide direct military assistance to the region that is fighting the extremist threats alone.

ISIS militants have controlled after they started a massive offensive on 10th of last June Mosul city and other cities adjacent to Kurdistan Region.

Residents Kirkuk city and the cities of the region have fled to escape from the gunmen, who are moving forward to establish "an Islamic caliphate state" and their strict view on the application of the law on the population.

People have fled from fierce fighting in the city over the past two weeks, as the Iraqi army seeks to regain control of the city.

Tikrit has become the split point between areas controlled by the militants in the north and west of the country and between Iraqi army forces backed by tens of thousands of volunteers in daily battles.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Masror Barzani said speaking on the border between the region and the militant of ISIS organization "It's a big responsibility, it's a long border, and many of our troops there, we do not know how long we will continue to be the situation, that this is really beyond our capacity" .

Obama (and America) sides with Iran, ISIS, the “rebels”,
al Qaeda, Turkey and Qatar against all freedom.

The Kurds should remember what Turkey did to Armenians
and Obama did to Israel before they begs for
Obama’s knife in their backs.

Wow....he must know Obama is POTUS, so he must be under some type of strong delusion if he thinks the Kurds will get any help from the USA ....

Obama will not help the Kurds. We all know that! Prayers for this group of people who have stood strong and have been a major ally and friend to the fleeing Christian population! May God give them help from ISIS.

Sad to say, the Kurds would be better off seeking alliance with the Russians. Obama has been quite silent about the ISIS obscenity while raving about Israel defending itself.

Good luck with that. The Peshmerga are pretty badass and very motivated to kill Arabs.

They would be better off asking Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, or Israel.

Prayers were my first thought and may God glorify His Name with a victory like He did when Hezekiah asked God to save Jerusalem from the Assyrians in 2 Chronicles 32.

If anyone will help them, I’d say Israel would. I can see Russia doing it too. Thanks to the US, ISIS has the armor to drive through the Kurd’s territory. We’ll just like the Armenians were left to defend themselves, looks like its the Kurds time. After all, Obama has to watch his numbers, fund raising, and golf scores. Lets see what Putin does vs. our worst administration ever!

Doubt seriously if they actually expect anything from the jug eared clown but they are simply taking the opportunity to expose to the entire world exactly what the jug eared clown is, a terrorist collaborator.
