chattels: US efforts at helping Iraq’s Kurds win the war against the Islamic State (ISIS) have been half-hearted at best, undermining Washington’s own strategy to defeat the group.

The head of the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) Security Council, Masrour Barzani, told the BBC earlier this month that the Kurdish Peshmerga forces have received no new weapons for several months.

 “We don’t have the kind of equipment that we wish to have, especially when it comes to heavy weapons,” he said. “The last shipment we had was in May this year.”

The KRG’s ability to independently acquire weapons is denied because Kurdistan is not a sovereign state. Every bullet going to the KRG needs to be sanctioned by the Iraqi central government.

The tensions over the budget and oil that have persisted between the KRG and Baghdad have also affected the manner in which the central government controls the flow of arms to Erbil.  chattels: Read more @ http://ift.tt/1NAf9yX... http://ift.tt/1NRjRfG

chattels: I have noted on several occasions that Baiji continues to be a " hotspot " in the war with DAESH

chattels: ISIS fighters and pro-goverment forces battled for a year over control of the oil refinery at Baiji, Iraq's largest. The plant was crippled but intact, and would have been a key asset for whomever came to control all of the refinery and the pipelines in and out of it.

This weekend, ISIS forces, which had controlled much of the facility since April, suddenly retreated. And torched the place on their way out.

chattels: "Many of the ISIS forces seem to have withdrawn," says Ben van Heuvelen of Iraq Oil Report. "But they've left behind a crew that appears to be on a suicide mission to cause as much damage and death as possible while the Iraqi forces try to clear the place."

chattels: When the Baiji refinery was operational, it processed more than 200,000 barrels per day of crude, "which," says van Heuvelen, "amounted to more than one-third of Iraq's total domestic fuel production."

chattels: "Now," says van Heuvelen, "the refinery is probably unusable for several years, if ever again."

Donnie: that ISIS group that is just destroying everything as they run away are like poor sports that cause havoc when they lose. destroy just so no one else can use it. I'd love to know what country/organization is so against Iraq from rising up that they would resort to this type of action. Someone or some country doesn't want Iraq to prosperous any time soon.... Who or what country is so afraid of Iraq becoming prosperous? obviously a country that feel Iraq threatens their well being.
