chattels: TEL SKOF - The third American military personnel to be killed by Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq was Navy SEAL Charles Keating. Keating was killed in Tel Skof, a town 28 kilometers north of ISIS's Mosul stronghold. He was part of a quick reaction force who had been scrambled into the area to rescue American advisors to the Peshmerga when ISIS launched a large surprise attack against the town.
Peshmerga soldiers who fought in that battle told Rudaw that Keating defended them "bravely" when five of them were surrounded by ISIS militants. In addition to Keating's death ten Peshmerga were killed during the battle http://ift.tt/1NWPFkC
chattels: Iraq Peshmerga forces continue offensive against ISIS in Gwer By Rudaw 8 hours ago Peshmerga forces on the Gwer Front. Rudaw photo. Peshmerga forces on the Gwer Front. Rudaw photo. GWER Front – The Kurdish Peshmerga forces on the Gwer front have advanced at least 10km against Islamic State (ISIS) on Wednesday while coalition forces bombed the militants with at least eight airstrikes since noon, a Peshmerga official told Rudaw.
Qadir Qadir, the Peshmerga commander of the Gwer Front, told Rudaw that the Kurdish fighters have advanced at least 10km near the village of Abu Shita. “Since 12 at noon the war began between our forces and Daesh gunmen while the Peshmerga were clearing landmines,” Qadir said, adding that fighting is ongoing.

chattels: Sadr Trying To Play Kingmaker In Iraq http://ift.tt/1WajbGz
chattels: Moqtada al-Sadr is attempting to become the pre-eminent party boss in Iraqi politics. After years of trying he finally co-opted the anti-corruption protest movement in Baghdad. That culminated in his followers temporarily taking over the Green Zone in the heart of the capital during the weekend.
He has also become one of Prime Minister Haidar Abadi’s only supporters as he attempts to push through his reform package for the government. As Sadr has done before he wants to turn his pull with the Iraqi street into political power by dictating terms to the prime minister and threatening the other elites with future demonstrations if they do not comply.
chattels: All of these moves highlighted Sadr’s attempts to become the new boss in Iraqi politics. He wasn’t just satisfied with being a backer of the premier, he wanted to dictate the terms of his reform package using threats, protests, and jabs.
His move to join the protesting MPs who tried to vote out Speaker Jabouri was meant to cut Abadi’s allies so that he would become more dependent upon Sadr. Just as the protests outside and eventually inside the Green Zone were meant to pressure the premier’s actions, Sadr’s machinations within the government were meant to strong arm Abadi to comply with Moqtada’s demands.
chattels: It is unclear what will become of Sadr’s strategy. Abadi’s attempt to take the ministries away from the ruling parties has angered almost everyone. That has fractured the dominate Shiite National Alliance with Dawa splitting between pro-Abadi and pro-Maliki factions, and the Supreme Council abandoning the PM. Again that is part of Sadr’s plans to make Ahrar the only bloc that Abadi can rely upon outside of his own Dawa members.
chattels: On the other hand, the political discord makes it almost impossible to get anything through parliament, which is necessary to change the government.
chattels: In the end, Sadr could just be adding to the dysfunction in Baghdad, which would undermine his goal of becoming the kingmaker as paralysis will ensure rather than any meaningful change.
chattels: I have said since August that Abadi can change nothing without Parliament. The notion and assertions by the others that Abadi is " in control " or that " Parliament has been fired " is just nonsense.
chattels: The great risk to the government of Iraq is not so much the political maneuvering of Sadr, which could work for good beyond the paralysis now in Parliament, but that his actions have co-opted the demonstrators and Iraqi street which no one may be able to control at some point.

Mr. Sadr is unpredictable and cannot be seen as a reliable ally. He has said that if further attempts to pass a new cabinet fail, he will push for Mr. Abadi’s ouster.
chattels: The deadliest fault line in Iraqi society is the divide between the majority Shiite Arabs and the minority Sunni Arabs. But the political crisis in Baghdad is largely a struggle among Shiites. Yet they have never figured out how to overcome their differences and unify Iraq.
chattels: Now, it [ Iraq ] resembles a failed state on three basic levels: security, politics and, given the collapse in oil prices, economics.
