While the Obama Administration dithers, ISIS makes gains against Kurds in Northern Iraq

Too little too late…

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 to supply weapons to the Kurds without the approval of the central government in Baghdad. That is unlikely to happen given the worries by Iraq’s Shiite-dominated leadership that the weapons would further embolden the Kurds to form a new state.
Instead, American officials are hoping to see Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, a Shiite who is struggling to secure a third term, replaced by someone who could persuade Iraq’s Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds to form a national unity government. According to Iraq’s constitutional timeline, Iraq’s Shiite parties must choose a nominee for prime minister by Friday. The prime minister would then have 30 days to form a new government.

The way the U.S. treats its allies, you would have to be nuts to be a U.S. ally.
ISIS continues its march (and the US stands by and lets them do it)
ISIS advances, Kurds run out of ammo
Could ISIS blow the dam they just captured?
