Couple key comments from my Kurdish friend (treat all as rumor & opinion and please due your Ian sound diligence).
According to my amigo Abadi now too is under tremendous internal and U.S. Pressure to show immediate progress or get out. The Iraqis are closely aligned with Iran and the West coalition is increasing nervous of that relationship. Although parliament is showing up for work passing many needed reform bills most importantly related to development into a private sector, market driven, non oil dependent economy, there is no actual results of it happening yet.
It’s very clear that monetary programs are shelved until Iraq can show it is one country, stable and secure with a diversified economy to show the world that a platform of strength and stability is achieved and maintained. There are absolutely no signs in the horizon that this can or will be achieved anytime soon.

Obama To Abort Training Plan Amid Russian Ramp-Up
Russia’s brashly enters Syria conflict while U.S. strategy stutters.
President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin pose for members of the media before a bilateral meeting at the United Nations headquarters.

The U.S. is reportedly abandoning its plan to train and equip rebel forces to fight the Islamic State group, a signal its influence in Syria is waning, if not in retreat, while war planners continue to struggle to find targets on the ground for their pilots to attack.
Russia, meanwhile, continues to ramp up its military campaign in the four-year-old warzone.
The New York Times reported Friday morning the Obama administration plans to abandon its $500 million scheme to defeat the extremist network by training moderate rebel forces in Syria at foreign training camps in Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
At a press conference with his British counterpart in London, U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Friday he was never happy with the results of the program and anticipated President Barack Obama would comment on it “very shortly.”
Senior defense and administration officials speaking on the condition of anonymity confirmed the news to the Times, saying the U.S. would stop recruiting new trainees and instead continue to train a few at a camp in Turkey on specialized techniques, such as how to call in airstrikes.
The plan, touted as a signature element of the administration’s to restore peace to Syria, was supposed to yield 5,400 trained infantrymen by the end of this year but instead almost immediately languished. Initial tight restrictions limited the number of volunteers who could join the training program, and those who did were se underprepared when the U.S. sent them back into the fight. The latest estimates indicate no more than 20 ever saw battle and avoided capture, with many immediately surrendering their U.S.-provided equipment to extremist networks in exchange for safe passage.
Friday’s news is yet another black eye for the reluctant U.S. effort to wage war in Syria, where American officials believed it could combat the entrenched Islamic State group without involving itself in the separate civil war between domestic rebels and the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad that began in early 2011.
Russia, by contrast, elbowed its way into the conflict two weeks ago after deploying ground forces and aircraft to a new base it built in the port city of Latakia. It claimed its new involvement would contribute to the anti-Islamic State group coalition, but has also targeted rebel forces in a clear attempt to bolster the Assad government, its historic patron. U.S. and Russian officials agreed publicly to engage in communications to “deconflict” the airspace for their respective warplanes, but have only publicly acknowledged one such meeting, simply to establish that they should engage in a dialogue.
The Defense Department confirmed this week that on at least two occasions Russian aircraft forced U.S. planes to alter their flight path. On Wednesday, Russia also began launching cruise missiles at precise targets in Syria from warships in the Caspian Sea, further crowding the airspace.
But the U.S. air presence in Syria has already waned. The most airstrikes it conducted in the last two weeks were when it hit four targets in Syria on Oct. 3. The rest of those days saw three airstrikes, or fewer. By contrast, there were 10 airstrikes in Iraq on Thursday.
The Russian government has seized the latest news as a chance to blast the U.S. role in Syria for what it claims is supporting a terrorist movement. “NATO Lost Orientation After Russia’s Military Operation in Syria” read a headline in its state-run news service Friday morning.
