Pretty cool article. A relative of mine actually took part in some training of Iraq and Kurds a few years back. According to him Abadi? is a lot better than Maliki at leading the army and reducing sectarian violence. They now have Sunni tribes in their side better than say a year ago. Taking Ramadi was a big step forward. Peshmerga are also decent fighters in the area. Even though Iraq and Kurds don't get along they really do need each other right now. The issue is what happens after ISIS is defeated. Hopefully they can take Mosul soon.

I'll add that some of Iraqis military is actually a prett good fighting force. Their main army has plenty of problems but some of their elite forces are pretty damn legit.

1. Divide Iraq into 3 countries - Kurd, Shi'ia and Sunni.

2. Negotiate a revenue sharing agreement covering Iraq's oil money

3. Profit
