We really should see to it that the Kurds get their own country. They would clean out all the ISIL filth there in northern Iraq. We just need to get Turkey to go along with it, but that could be accomplished by offering Kurds in Turkey resettlement bounties to move to Kurdistan. I imagine the Iraqi Shia government would not be all that unhappy to see them go.

Because while the Iraqi Army is just about worthless, in terms of not deserting at the first sign of combat, the Peshmurga kick ass. We should give them all the guns, ammo, RPGs, etc. they need. They'll get the job done in Northern Iraq.
