Obama sends new military instructors in Iraq

Obama tries as best he can to stem the offensive of the Islamic state, but the central issue, on a purely military, is still the lack of preparation of the regular Iraqi forces to oppose effectively to the troops of the caliphate. An indisputable fact is constituted by the evidence, that if the country of Iraq had had only rely on his own strength, even supported by US military aircraft, would have fallen totally in the hands of the Islamic state. The White House, which has clear responsibilities on this issue, to have abandoned so too hasty Iraq, in homage to a campaign promise, he has been able to count on allies the Kurds and the Shia fighters sent from Iran, which has become the unofficial ally of Washington ; without this aid and Baghdad fell, the clash that could occur was between Tehran and caliphate, with all the religious implications and policies that would be achieved. Washington maintains the decision not want to commit their troops on the ground, but it opens further to the use of military instructors for the training of Iraqi troops. If the military point of view, the training that US soldiers will transmit to colleagues Iraqis, will certainly adequate, harder looks forward to him a proper motivation, which in many cases has led to the victory in the battle of the troops of the caliphate. This aspect, although detected on time, does not seem to be an unresolved cases of individual soldiers and entire battalions of Baghdad, who have fled before the enemy, are one of the weaknesses of the Iraqi army, especially compared to the de determination of the Islamic State; but it is just lack of preparation or fear: what is important is that often the military Sunnis refuse to fight against other Sunnis. In this particular play much of the war against the caliphate and that's why Obama aims to increase the involvement of Sunni tribes that little bear their strict rules introduced by the Islamic state. But to arrive at an unconditional trust is necessary that the troops Shiite give way to the regular army, but able to play an effective role on the battlefield. Behind the decision to send 450 new military instructors there is all this reasoning, which has as its ultimate goal to create soldiers to counter the militants on the ground of the caliphate is from a military standpoint, and psychologically. Tactically the first goal is to win back Ramadi, Mosul in what seems to be too firmly in the hands of the Islamic state. The conquest of this city should be postponed in 2016, which says a lot about the predictions about the end of the conflict.
