Iraqi Army?

During last night's speech, all i kept hearing was this "coalition" that we are trying to build to help us fight ISIS. While i think that is extremely important, i kept wondering to myself, did the Iraqi Army completely disband or something? I served in the Army and fought in Baghdad Iraq for 15 months from 04'-05'. My unit worked side by side with some of the Iraqi National Guard. With 800,000 current Iraqi soldiers, my question is, why do we need this "broad coalition" to help fight ISIS? WTF is the Iraqi Army doing? Its been 13 years. The Iraqi Army needs to step up and fight. They have the personel, equipment and funding to get this done. Why are we now going to waste another 500 million training and building another coalition to fight ISIS? Does anybody else get extremely frustrated about this?

If I remember correctly, when this all started an entire Iraqi division was routed by 800 ISIS fighters.
For those that don't know, a standard division is typically made up of around 10,000 to 15,000 personnel.
This does not bode well for Obama's strategery.

The Arab countries, with the exception of the Armies currently getting routed by ISIS, are NOT going to provide forces to fight this battle. You can write that in rock.

I have a feeling many members of that army turned to Isis al nursa or other groups. I know there will be members of the Ana, ansf, and the afghani police who will turn once they don't feel like fighting anymore.
