From Dinar Land : ReinMan reported US led coalition airstrikes have slowed ISIS advancement in Kobani.  Kurdish defenders managed to retake a hill and other positions.

Military analysts say the city has no real strategic value for the long war on terror but it has humanitarian importance for the Kurds and the coalition helping them.

It boils donw to reputation for ISIL  and continuous control of swathes of land in northern Syria bordering Turkey.

15M Kurds living in Turkey are not happy with Turkish response and that may destabilize Turkey’s fragile truce with PKK whose leader is jailed and vowed to continue the struggle if Kobani falls.

US and its NATO allies are still waiting to see if they can use an airbase in southern Turkey in fight against terrorism.  US led coalition airstrikes target ISIL positions, equipment and shelters near the large oil refinery in Beiji and Haditha.

Investment economist Adel Abu-Rugheif said it will take Iraq a very long time to achieve its goal with all the money coming from Iraq’s treasury.

That’s why Iraqi government and lawmakers are urged to make it as attractive as possible for Iraqi, regional and international investors to invest in Iraq’s projects which include tax cuts, tariff exemptions and a healthy return on the invested money.

This can only be achieved if all government agencies and banks works towards creating the right atmosphere to attract private investors.
