This is what I didn't understand from the beginning. If there was this urgency to support the Kurds in their fight then why not flying much more relief attacks on IS troops getting close to Kurdish territory? I mean a week ago they were still some miles away from that city. Instead they bomb oil facilities which will definitely help in the long run (in more than one way, I bet all oil producing nations were cheering that these facilities got taken out as they can now raise prices again because of the "shortage") but won't do much to help the Kurds who are already fighting for their bare lives RIGHT NOW. I think we need some A10s down there.
