>Iraq has threatened to go to the UN if Turkey does not withdraw soldiers it sent to areas near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul within 48 hours.
>Baghdad said the deployment was done without consultation and was a violation of national sovereignty.
>Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu defended the move as routine troop rotation at a pre-established camp.
>Mosul has been under the control of militants from the so-called Islamic State group since last year.
>Turkey deployed hundreds of its forces to the town of Bashiqa to train Iraqi Kurdish forces fighting IS.

Why aren't they co-operating? Wouldn't it actually benefit Iraq if Turkey was helping them with the recapture of Mosul? Even if it was just training Kurds.
Also why is Turkey being so dickish recently? they have been flaunting their power quite a bit recently.

The Shiites seem to want Iraq and Syria to devolve into Stans and fear what a coherent and united Sunni-stan would mean for Assad and Iran. To that end they're inclined to want ISIS to stay strong, active internationally, and contained regionally. Iraq's PM is an idiot, it wouldn't have been his idea, but with oil rents as they are his man hole is likely owned by dozens of dirty dicks, and meek as he is, he may as well be their dick puppet.

Just my theory, but why else would sectarian militias get more state support than the army, and the taking of Sinjar warrant a gov attack on the Kurds and tribes.

That would kinda match up with how they just keep delaying the recapture of Mosul, though at the same time it sounds insane that people really want to let ISIS to stay strong no matter the reason.

State sponsors of stateless terror groups isn't a new thing. It's only a small jump to regional collation tacit and occasionally active aid of "state" terror.

There's no way to end IS without a political solution for this reason and they could be gone in a few months if a non-Russian/Iranian asset was in charge of either the Syrian or Iraqi Army, or even if it was just someone willing to let the Turks do it.
