THE ISLAMIC STATE FORCES AND THE KURDS… A FALLOW UP!!!

A few weeks ago, I addressed the criticality of Islamic State force fighting the Kurds.

(Link provided).


My point was simple, if the IS forces could take on a fighting force as respected as the Kurds, what chance did the Iraqi military have?
Well, the conflict over the town of Sinjar may have proven my point.

Now, I know some will say, “ the Kurds will regroup and move back in”, and that could take place, but I would also state the damage is done.

Imagine the Iraqi forces and their commander watching this battle take place all the while knowing how skilled the Kurds are in the art of fighting.

When the dust settles, the Kurds retreat and the black flag of the IS flies over the town of Sinjar!

Disconcerting?

To say the least; just ask the Iraqi military leaders.

The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan admission is even more demoralizing to the Iraqi leaders.

With the world’s eyes focused on Gaza, the gains of the IS in Iraq is going virtually unnoticed, with the exception of Baghdad and Tehran.

The flow of forces and supplies from Syria to Iraq and Iraq to Syria is only growing stronger as Iraqi leadership desperately tries to map out a course of action that shows any signs of working.

So, is anyone seeing this Kurdish defeat, even if it is temporary, as a good sign?

Yep!

You probably guessed it.

Turkey!

The Turkish viewpoint is not difficult to figure out.

A Kurdistan movement that is under attack by Islamic Forces is a movement on the defense and a Kurdish movement on the defense is a smaller threat to Turkey.

Yep; when you get right down to it, not much has changed.

What truly is on the minds of the Middle Eastern leaders today?

The survival of Hamas?

The growing Islamic State movement?


I bet we all know the real answer and so does Hamas.
