According to article, all arms are supposed to go through Baghdad, which only seems capable of losing battles and weaponry.

Obama turns his back on Kurds, turns down Arab states who want to arm the Kurds — just one more failure on the strategy front against ISIS.

the point is obvious, he wants ISIS to expand and grow stronger and stronger and bigger and bigger (and Iran to finish its ICBM nuclear bomb arsenal, of course)

Obama is a jerk. If he’s a Sunni sympathizer, he’s groveling for Erdogan. If he’s a Shiite sympathizer, or just currying short-term favor with the Iranians to complete some ludicrous pretense of a nuke deal, he’s a groveling idiot. Or, maybe he just doesn’t like the Kurds.

Iran and Turkey do not want the Kurds becoming too powerful. They have made their interests known to their hireling, VJ. She has directed her puppet to make the appropriate blocking moves.

Kurds are the only ones who can stop ISIS.

So if you want to loose to ISIS, you must stop the Kurds.

The fix is in.

It seems obvious that there are highly placed traitors in the US government and that Obama isn’t working alone.

Go through Baghdad so they can abandon them in the field to ISIS?

According to article, all arms are supposed to go through Baghdad, which only seems capable of losing battles and weaponry.

Sending arms via Baghdad also insures that the Kurds shall get none.

The Iraqi central government doesn't want the Kurds armed, as it will make them independent of Baghdad.

Nor do the Iranians -- who are telling the Shi'ite central government in Baghdad what to do -- want the Kurds to have heavy weapons. They've got their own "Kurd problem" and Barack Boy has no interest in pissing off his Irani "friends".

Accordingly, getting heavy weapons to the Kurds works against the interests of a.) ISIS, b.) the Iraqi central government, c.) Iran and d.) Barack Obama.

Sounds like a winner to me!

You’d almost think Obola wants ISIS to win, wouldn’t you?

The Kurds are the only thing between Iran and Turkey. Looks like Xero wants to give the entire eastern Mediterranean and Persian Gulf to Iran and is suckering Turkey into helping him because of their hatred for the Kurds.

Me thinks Obama doesn’t want to piss off the Turks. Turkey is a muslim nation that is in NATO. sort of a beachhead if you will. Obama likes that.

You bring up a good point, there was a deal a few weeks ago to give billions of dollars in weapons to the Iraqis, this right after the Iraqi army turned and ran and ISIS got a bunch of those weapons. That could be the only reason. This story, first seeing it, made me very upset.

If the overall objective of the Chicago regime controlling the US is to create more and more chaos in the mid-east they will keep doing what they are doing.

Starve the peshmerga,diss them, make them not a US ally and you drive a wedge between them and the US and Baghdad. This only creates more chaos and supports the reality that the U.S.Chicago regime--and Baghdad favors the Shiites.they want more help, men and machines from Iran instead of those directly effected by Isis the Kurds. It's all BS and hopefully will end when zero is thrown out of office.

ISTANBUL | Sat Jun 27, 2015

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan was quoted on Saturday as saying Turkey would never allow the formation of a Kurdish state embracing its south-east and parts of northern Syria, comments likely to anger Kurds as a peace process with Ankara stalls.
