The article linked
below is an interview with the Kurdistan Regional Government's High
Representative to the US. In it she reveals that all military shipments to
Iraqi Kurdistan are first landed in Baghdad for inspection and only after
inspection are the given to the Kurds. This is ridiculous. The Kurdish
Peshmerga in Iraq and the Kurdish YPG in Syria have proven their combat
effectiveness in every battle they've fought as long as their ammunition held
out. Even in retreat, they never abandon any weapons for ISIS to capture. The Iraqi Army, on the other hand, was one of
the main sources of arms for ISIS. They abandoned all of their US supplied
equipment and ran away before ISIS could even get to them. Iran is supplying
the Shi'ite militias around Baghdad with all of the weapons they need. Why aren't we doing the
same for the Kurds?
