BAGHDAD, Aug. 19 (UPI) -- The Kurdish government is rejecting calls from the Iraqi government for the Peshmerga to stop advancing towards the city of Mosul in the battle against the Islamic State. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi urged the Peshmerga to stop its advancement in the Nineveh province amid accusations the Kurdish forces are attempting to seize land under the pretext of defeating the Islamic State with the goal of later declaring independence. "The Peshmerga should stay where they are now, and they should not expand their presence even if they help the Iraqi Army," Abadi said Wednesday. Kurdish government spokesman Safeen Dizayee quickly rejected Abadi's call. "The Peshmerga will continue their advances and will not retreat from the areas they have recently liberated from the Islamic State in Mosul," Dizayee said. http://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2016/08/19/Kurds-reject-Iraqi-call-for-them-to-stop-Mosul-advance/1281471613109/ |

Americans seem unable to conceptualize foreign policy which is NOT based on the zero-sum model of a two-team competition. When you can't understand the rules, it is better not to get into the game. |
