its not fair to compare aq to isis. they were never an army. more of a network of terrorists. isis are an army holding tertitory. an apt comparison is the taliban aq flourished cause taliban allowed them to operate in their territory

Kurds are to be supported more by US and allies. They are their best bet against ISIS. Iraqi forces whom US wants to use on the ground have been proved totally incompetent despite all the efforts US made in training them. They should rather train and arm Kurdish Peshmegra forces even at the risk of increase in ethnic strife within Iraq. Kurdish fighters are more commited and passionate and resolute in fighting ISIS. In combination with US air power they can tilt the scale.
Kurdish fighters achieved one major success against ISIS, very near to ISIS capital of Raqqa. This is another example when Kurdish fighters proved to be better bet with biggest example being Kobani. In above post couple of weeks ago I suggested a model that instead of fragile Iraqi forces, US should back Kurdish fighters to do fighting on the ground. Now reports suggest that US has decided to use that model more.
