“...According to the Kurds, authority for Spec Forces to help usually took a while to be granted whereas this was granted almost immediately.”

Well, since the Russians have gotten involved, Hussein has become terrified that ISIS will be defeated/destroyed and he’ll get absolutely none of the credit for it. It’s SOP for Obama, that notorious hogger of (undeserved) credit and delegator of (well-deserved) blame.
Hussein wants to allow just enough photo-op activities to occur so that he can lay credit for any ISIS defeat IMHO.
Not that I doubt it, but the reports are the OK came from the Pentagon and the WH wasn’t involved. Of course, given how much the Regime lies...who knows.
I wonder if any ISIS people were killed? I have not seen any mention of that.
