Kurds Partial Victory over IS - Iraq Crisis

BBC News: Reports " Kurdish forces have recaptured the eastern part of the Mosul dam in Iraq from the Islamic State (IS) jihadist group, Kurdish officials say. "

Lets Get Real:

This is a good first step, but lets get real, this fight against IS will take months if not years, the US and its allies can be the air force for the Kurds and the Baghdad Government but they have to fight IS on the ground.   Thus the US/EU will have to arm the Kurds, this will not go down well with Turkey, they have their own Kurdish problem.   The problem develops if the West creates a Kurdish State by accident, the threat to Ibril, the Capital of the Kurds shows how much the Kurds need the West to give it air cover, the US/EU by creating a structure to fight the IS will help create a civic, economic, military State for the Kurds, that is a long term problem, the main issue NOW is IS, they have to be taken down, destroyed at birth before they become a threat to the Middle East and the West.
