Guardian: Reports " Washington said the arms had been supplied by Iraqi Kurdish authorities and had been dropped near Kobani....Speaking in the Indonesian capital Jakarta on Monday, US secretary of state John Kerry said the Obama administration decided to airdrop weapons and ammunitions to “valiant” Kurds because it would be “irresponsible” and “morally very difficult” not to support them. "
Lets Get Real:
Thus the US had bombed IS with the help of the Kurds, now its is dropping arms and other military equipment to help the Kurds, IN the above Secretary Kerry makes them out to be the plucky underdog, one can see the dots now, what if the Kurds of Kobane need US military presence on the ground or face losing to the IS. This would place the Oval in real political trouble, after the red lines disaster the Oval might have not choice but to help the Kurds. One wonders what the Turks would make of that, of course IS wants the US to place troops in Syria and Iraq, the fight would be more equal, the US would lose troops. The US voter is not ready for that yet, it might be never ready, but that will be the end result, the US back in Iraq, in the air and ground.
