Is it time to give up on a united Iraq?


Is it time to give up on a united Iraq?

People are wondering why the Obama administration does not give the Iraqi Kurds all the weapons they need to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
The Kurdish and ISIL fighters were fairly evenly matched until the Iraqi troops abandon Mosul and left behind all of the weapons with which we had armed them. Now these weapons are being used against the Kurds and others. It seems to make perfect sense to arm the Kurds so that they can defend themselves and perhaps even defeat ISIL.
