ISIS in Crisis?

ISIS suffered a rare defeat because the Obama administration took a baby step towards following the policy advocated in our sister blog.  See: http://phoodphotospolitics.blogspot.com/2014/09/kurdling-iraq.html.

The Kurds have the only troops disciplined, and more importantly, motivated enough to defeat ISIS.  With the support of US airpower The Kurds have taken Kobani, Syria from ISIS.

If the US were to promise to recognize a Kurdish State covering all land reclaimed by them from ISIS, Kurds would pour in from the Diaspara at a rate that would make ISIS recruitment seem like a trickle.

Of course, this would anger the Iraqi government, but how long can we support incompetence.  Much of the ISIS armament is from the ever retreating Iraqi army.

We need a reliable ally that can supply ground troops.  Airpower has been more successful than critics realize.  Conquest of land, with vast open dessert areas, requires massed troops and equipment. Massed troops provide a target rich environment for our planes.  Since the introduction of air sorties, ISIS expansion has largely halted.   Airpower can also help by cutting supply lines.  But reconquering cities is a door to door affair.

Shites don't fight and the Sunni side of the street is going the wrong way.  So Kurd is the Word.

What doe this have to do with a travel blog?  I want to see the wonders of Iraq and Syria.  I fear that the entire MiddleEast could become a no fly zone.
