NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel reported that both Kurdish fighters and American advisers are upset with the lack of support provided by the United States in the fight against ISIS on Friday’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” on MSNBC.

“We went out with Kurdish forces, we went to their newest, most front line position, not far from the Mosul Dam.

And while we were there, we saw a very meager base with light weapons, just some berms that were put up made of sand, and the Kurdish fighters were complaining that they are not getting the amount of support they need from the United States.

The Kurds really are in this fight, yet they’re complaining they’re not nearly getting the weapons, the training, the manpower, the number of airstrikes, drone support, almost everything you could imagine, to take the battle forward” he stated.

Engel continued, “I’ve spoken with some American advisers, they are very frustrated. They feel they were sent here on a mission to help the Kurds, to help fight against ISIS, but the weapons just aren’t coming and that there’s not a full commitment for a variety of geopolitical reasons that means the weapons and the support aren’t coming here.”

He concluded that the problem is “we talk about a larger war against ISIS, with a grand international coalition, with Jordan and the Arab world now up in arms after the burning of the pilot. It doesn’t really work that way. You have so many different pieces of the puzzle here.

One reason the US denies Kurds the weapons to fight ISIS

The Kurds want an independent country, they want Kurdistan, and that’s the reason why the US isn’t sending them a lot of weapons, because Baghdad, which is also fighting against ISIS, sort of, they’re not doing a lot of fighting, they don’t want Kurdistan to be an independent country.

The weapons that are supposed to come here are still going through the central Baghdad government, even though Kurdistan really feels like it has nothing to do anymore with the Baghdad government, and that is just one of the complications that we are seeing in this general war against ISIS, the broader coalition.

The US is trying to support the Kurds, and give them some weapons, but not give them enough so that they upset Baghdad and give Baghdad the impression that the US wants the Kurds to break away.

So, the Kurds are getting some of the weapons, but not enough so that they could arm themselves and break away, which leaves the fight against ISIS hanging in the battle.

The Iraqi Army is still incredibly weak, it is still incredibly corrupt, it is viewed as a Shiite militia, increasingly, it is just the Shiite militia who are backed by Iran, that are running the Iraqi Army, not this unified, independent army that is ready to take on ISIS, that is a myth.”

The Daily Mail summary of Kurdish history

Since the fall of the Ottoman Empire the Kurdish population of northern Iraq has suffered at the hands of a series of hard-line rulers.

With no country to call their own, Iraqi Kurds have been overpowered in clashes with Turkey, Britain and Iran, and have been systematically persecuted by Saddam Hussein's regime.

Parts of the north, around Mosul, came under British rule at the end of the First World War and 1923 saw the first of many violent uprisings from a Kurdish people hungry for the chance to rule their own land.

After 20 more years of struggle, Mullah Mustafa Barzani emerged as the figurehead for Kurdish separatism. His son is still in charge of the dominant Kurdistan Democratic Party.

Barzani helped set up a Kurdish Republic in Iran in 1946 but it was crushed - this time by Iranian soldiers -forcing the KDP leader into exile.

When the monarchy in Iraq was overthrown in 1958, Barzani returned and there seemed to be genuine hope for the Kurds when a new Iraqi constitution officially recognised their national rights.

Just two years later his KDP was broken up by the Iraqi government after another uprising in the north.

Peace deal signed in 1970

A peace deal between the government of Iraq and the Kurdish rebels was eventually signed in 1970, granting recognition of their language and self-rule in the north.

But over the next few years the situation worsened with more clashes over who should control the oil-rich area around Kirkuk

Barzani died in 1979 and the leadership of the re-founded KDP was passed to his son, Massoud Barzani.

But a new force had already emerged in Kurdish politics when Jalal Talabani left the KDP to found the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan.

These two men are still the dominant figures of Kurdish politics, each having a near-exact half share of popular support.

Kurds sided with Iran

During the Iran-Iraq War, which began in 1980, the situation for the Kurds in the north deteriorated dramatically.

The KDP had sided with the Iranians against Saddam Hussein and helped launch a counter attack from the north.

But, angered by the uprising, Saddam ordered his troops into the area around Barzani's home in 1983. About 8,000 people were killed.

During the war both the KDP and PUK received funding from Iran - which only served to make

Saddam even more determined to punish the Kurds.

In 1988 Saddam ordered a massive operation known as the "Anfal Campaign" against the Kurdish population.

Poison attack

Undoubtedly his most notorious act against the Kurds came on on March 16 when his cousin, Ali Hassan al-Majid, directed the poison gas attack on the town of Halabja.

Al-Majid - who led the brutal purges across the north, killing more than 100,000 people - was given the nickname "Chemical Ali" for masterminding the Halabja massacre.

The use of nerve agents on the mainly Kurdish town killed up to 5,000 civilians and injured another 10,000.

When the attack started some victims tried to protect themselves by taking cover in cellars and basements - but they did not know that the poisonous gas was heavier than air.

The legacy of that attack has been increased rates of cancer and other illness in the town and to fuel Kurdish hatred of Saddam's regime across the region.

Rebellion crushed in 1991

After the 1991 Gulf War the Kurds launched another massive uprising but the Allies who liberated Kuwait did not get involved.

The rebellion was crushed by Saddam's army, creating more than one million Kurdish refugees.

The Kurds' situation worsened when neighbouring Turkey closed its borders to refugees.

During the 1990s the PUK and KDP fought a bitter civil war for control of the Kurdish-dominated parts of northern Iraq, which had been designated a "safe haven" protected by US forces.

Talabani and Barzani agreed a peace in 1998 and on March 3 this year signed a joint leadership deal for the north of Iraq.

During the current Iraq war, Kurdish soldiers have been keen to work with US special forces on the northern front against Saddam's army.

But Kurdish separatists have been hoping the war will give them the chance to seize control of Kirkuk and make the city the capital of a new Kurdistan.

Both the coalition and Turkey are completely opposed to such a move. The much oppressed Kurds, however, may not abandon their hopes without a fight.

DO PLANTS HAVE INTELLIGENCE? Latest research indicates they do

Plants have between 15 and 20 senses, some of them analogous to our five senses. ~~~ Plants are able to sense and respond to light, water, gravity, temperature, soil structure, nutrients, toxins, microbes, herbivores, and chemical signals from other plants. This could not be done without an informational processing system. ~~~ They can form alliances with insects to use them as bodyguards, and when threatened by predators, they can summon them by using chemical signals. ~~~ They can get useful insects hooked on the drugs they make. ~~~ They use chemical warfare to fight enemies. ~~~ READ MORE fascinating facts about plant intelligence by clicking on these flowers..

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MENTAL ILLNESS AND ISLAM - What science says about it

The sciences of GENETICS and EPIGENTICS demonstrate that human EVOLUTION is still ongoing. ~~~ Changes in the human genome occur as a result of many factors in the physical and cultural environment. ~~~ Studies demonstrate that GENETIC CHANGES occur even during the lifetime of a person, and they can be inherited by their children. ~~~ In the case of ISLAM we have to consider 14 centuries of harsh indoctrination and cultural violence, repressed normal sexuality, and a lifestyle rooted in 7th century Arabia, in sharp conflict with 21st century science and culture. ~~~ MUSLIM UPBRINGING includes mental and physical abuse, and often sexual abuse of boys and girls as well. - The INBREEDING factor is also significant. Marriages to first cousins are very common, resulting too often in children with physical and mental disabilities. ~~~ The incidence of MENTAL ILLNESS and mental disability among Muslims has been all but ignored by countries that are importing millions of Muslim migrants. - This genetic factor may explain why second and third generation of Western Muslims have difficulty controliing emotions, and sometimes engage in actions of extreme violence.

EARTH GRAVITY WAVES RIPPLING THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE

The upper atmosphere is not only disturbed by SOLAR storms but by EARTH gravity waves as well - Gravity waves are born when air masses are pushed up or down by a thunderstorm, perhaps, or when wind is forced up and over a mountain range. When they reach the upper atmosphere these waves have built in amplitude and extent. They can dominate atmospheric processes sometimes threatening the reliability of Earth-based communication systems. - CLICK on image to read more and watch video of computer-generated model of gravity waves.

WHY DO MUSLIMS HATE YOU?

A good Muslim follows the Koran and Hadith to the letter. Read how those Muslim scriptures order Muslims to DESPISE AND KILL THE INFIDEL. ~~~ Muslims regard western values as repugnant, and many see jihad as justified. ~~~ Islam is not compatible with western culture. There can be no assimilation. ~~~ Abandoning Islam, or APOSTASY, is punishable by death. ~~~ Muslims have been waging war against other people since the 7th century. ~~~ It was always CONVERT OR DIE. Countless indigenous cultures and religions across Asia and Africa have been obliterated, forced to submit to Islam. ~~~ According to conservative estimates, Islam has killed 270 MILLION non-Muslims during 14 centuries of conquest and tyranny. That makes it the biggest GENOCIDE in history. ~~~ CLICK ON IMAGE to read why Islam hates you, in their own words, and learn more about the Muslim genocide

BRITISH TAXPAYERS OUTRAGED at EU spending their money building ILLEGAL ARAB SETTLEMENTS in Israel

FOR SEVEN YEARS ISRAELI AUTHORITIES HAVE DONE NOTHING to stop the EU building of illegal Arab settlements on Jewish land ~~~~~ While Israel has frozen construction across the Green Line, and razes the tiniest house addition or Jewish unauthorized outposts on the hills, Arabs keep building ILLEGAL SETLEMENTS with impunity, and with the funding and assistance of the European Union. Those settlements are in internationally-recognized Israeli land (Area C), thus the EU is not only violating Israeli sovereignty, but its own diplomatic rules of operation in foreign countries. - These illegal Arab settlements are meant to be FACTS ON THE GROUND for the eventual Muslim takeover of Jewish land - EUROPEANS DID NOT WANT JEWS IN EUROPE and murdered MILLIONS of them. Now they don't want Jews in their ancient homeland of ISRAEL either, call them "occupiers," and demand that the land be given to descendants of Muslims who invaded Israel in the 7th century. - The EU (inspired by the Nazi boycotts against Jews) already labels and boycotts products from the Jewish heartland - THE EU WAR AGAINST THE JEWS persists as they contract out the Arabs to continue Hitler's mission of killing Jews. Europe and the United States are the main funders of the Palestinian Authority, contributing to salaries paid to terrorists who murder innocent Israelis..CLICK ON IMAGE TO READ ARTICLE AND WATCH VIDEO

ISIS PLAN FOR INFILTRATING EUROPE AS REFUGEES

Along with Muslim refugees pouring into Europe there is a significant percentage of terrorists from ISIS and other Muslim factions.

(1) European leftist political elites need to expand their voting base with benefits-dependent migrants. (2) Business looks forward to cheap labor. (3) Leftists and media blatantly manipulate European shame for the Holocaust. Anyone opposed to this invasion is branded a RACIST.. - Basic math predicts an eventual demographic takeover of Europe by Islam. - The cartoon here has a an immigration officer asking jihadists "Anything to declare?" while they invade Europe - CLICK on image to read more

SATIRE - WHAT THE U.S. AND EU REALLY MEAN BY LAND FOR PEACE

Europe and the US commiserate for the loss of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust. - But they obsessively demand that Israel be partitioned along borders only 9 miles wide at their narrowest point. - These borders and the creation of ANOTHER ARAB TERROR STATE under ISIS or Iran's influence will certainly lead to a Holocaust of 6 million Israeli Jews. - On this SATIRE White House aides promise that if the Arabs massacre the Jews in a shrunk Israel, Israelis should take comfort in the fact that the world will have an annual commemoration of their sacrifice for peace. - Image from Israel Matzav blog - CLICK on picture to read article.

He would be pelted with ROCKS or STABBED for being a "settler". Or he would be DECAPITATED, as Arabs did to four rabbis praying at a Jerusalem synagogue in 2014. ~~~ If Jesus were a child he would be BURNED BY FIREBOMBS (as Arabs did to a child in December 2014), or have his THROAT SLASHED in his own home, as Arabs did to the Fogel children. ~~~ CLICK on image to read more about the Muslim war against Jews and Christians in today's Judea and Samaria.
