Hm, if only both could focus on ISIS first and then resolve their differences.

Conducting this operation whilst a small IS part remains has a good reason, now the US/global powers cannot simply abandon Baghdad if they decide to side with Kurds, although they didn't side with Kurds.

Abadi is smart, he knows what he does

Seems that SAA and Iraqi forces will make a double sandvich in future,
the delivered 3000 trucks to PKK/YPG will be "Ganimet" .

Now the truth is Iraq barely used heavy weaponry so far, no TOS-1 or air force / attack helicopters that took part. Imagine if Kurds possessed these weapons what they would've done so far.
