    Iraq Civil War - Kurds vs. Iraqi Forces

    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-mi...-idUSKBN1CM2E6

    Things in Iraq are getting worse now that ISIS is winding down. The Kurds voted for Independence, but not recognized by Baghdad. The Kurds had seized Kirkuk, a main Oil city, but were battled out by Iraqi ING and US trained forces.

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States military said on Tuesday it had received mixed accounts of the death toll in a clash on Monday between Iraqi and Kurdish forces, with between three and 11 fighters killed.

    Colonel Ryan Dillon, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition fighting Islamic State, acknowledged limitations on the ability of the United States to gather on-the-ground information about the confrontation between the two U.S. allies.

    He also said he had no information about Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps units in and around the Iraqi city of Kirkuk despite reports from Iraqi Kurdistan.
    There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

    We need to pull our hand out of the dog fight between rabid dogs before we have it torn off.
