Read an excerpt:

'We began our closest relationship with them in 1991 when we sent them humanitarian aid after the first Gulf War, and they never forgot that,' Winnefeld said. 'They've been very loyal allies and friends since, have supported us in numerous operations in Iraq. And now they've been fighting and dying to the tune of 11,000 Kurds who have essentially been working on the ground against ISIS, who is a sworn enemy of the United States.'
