Sunni Extremists in Iraq Seize 3 Towns From Kurds and Threaten Major Dam

"The Kurds, who have been longtime American allies, recently asked for military assistance from the United States to fight ISIS, American officials, determined to keep Iraq together as one country are reluctant" without Baghdad's approval. Seeing as how the Kurds are the only ones capable of using American intelligence and weaponry effectively in restraining ISIS makes it the usual throw our friends under the bus for a hopeless cause type move we are famous for.  Iraq is broken so support the Kurds because they are the sane ones in Iraq right now while the Shia and Sunnis are in a blood feud that we can not control.
