#1 Iranians have stepped up to the plate with food, water and medical support, making it possible for the Kurdsih forces to concentrate on military issues instead of civil ones.

Smart move by the Iranians - makes them look "humanitarian", makes them look like they are aiding the fight (and they are by allowing resources to be better directed), but without an overt military component to it.

As far as the Kurds go, this is what they want - Iranian help that doesn't involve an overt Iranian military presence in Kurdish territory.

Well played, Iran. Obama The Golfer (and his State Dept eunuchs) are getting outmaneuvered once again, politically.

#2 Who sez they're being outmaneuvered? That may have been a WH/State intent.

#4 The spheres of influence ala ISIS/ISIL + Rising Iran are for all practical purposes right next to one another - iff mainstream America worried then about the Islamist radicalism of the Ayatollah Khomeini when the Shah was overthrown, they should really be worried iff the ISIS/ISIL ever maanges to merge or overthrow the current Islamist Revolut Govt of Iran.

IOW, DESPITE THE OWG GLOBALISTS' AGENDUM INCLUD ANTI-US US GLOBALIST OBAMA, ITS IN THEIRS + US INTERESTS TO HELP IRAN FIGHT + DEFEAT THE ISIS/ISIL, IN ADDITION OF COURSE TO THE QAEDA BOYZ + OTHER IN THE ME.

* DON'T FEAR THE JIHADI - FEAR HIS LAWYERS + ACLU!

* DON'T FEAR GLOBALIST OBAMA - FEAR HIS GLOBALIST SUCCESSOR(S)!

* DON'T FEAR NUCLEAR SHIA IRAN - FEAR AN ISIS/ISIL-CONTROLLED NUCLEAR IRAN [ + Middle East]!

As wid Baby Assad, however imperfect or defective the proverbial Solution may prove worse than the original Problem.
