When there is a coincidence, it might be once or twice, but not three or four times in a row. People went to the Kurdish authorities in the Sinjar area and asked if they needed any help or support. People were going to get recruited. They said, “No, no, go home. We have plenty. We have 12,000 peshmerga forces in and around the Sinjar area.” Twelve thousand? That's over a division, I do believe, or three divisions. Not to mention, three days before that, they took all these heavy machine guns out of the hands of Yazidi who were involved with the peshmerga.
On December 2nd, 2014. See this statement in context.
