Since the Kurds are doing all the fighting in Northern Iraq - seems to me that the Iraq govt led by Maliki is allowing this to happen to weaken them once this is done - allowing a Shia Arab/Persian Force to invade Kurdistan and crush them...
The same model/tactic was used during WWII in China when the Nationalist fought the Japanese and at the conclusion was in a weakened state, allowing the Communist to push them out of the mainland over to Taiwan. Of course, the US stood by and did nothing...
The same will happen here...isn’t history great!
Iraq govt led by Maliki is allowing this to happen
i guess you knew, but Maliki relinquished power over a month ago, now if he is still calling the shots i do not know
