I realy dont know why are all news only about Peschmerga and not about Iraqi army. Is it becouse Iraqi goverment are buying weapons from Russia then from 'murica like the of Su-25 they bought??

Im sure that its not the Kurds who will liberete Iraq from Isis. They maybe defend their positions but no power for taking cities.
Thats Iraqi Army bussiness

Probably because of the fact that Iraq right now is lead by a person who the US wants to see removed form power.

This is why.
Peshmerga is a nationally uniform force, without religious and ethnic differences, they are highly motivated and retain high morale, unlike people who come to Iraqi army only for money.
You are right however when you say they have "no power for taking cities", they won't do it because it's not their business. They stated directly they will not fight for cities that are beyond Kurdistan territory.

Because they have been incompetent during pretty much their entire existence? Even before 2003, they had abysmal performances during the First Gulf War and even against the understrength and post-revolutionary Iran.

And their current state is not much better either Edition.cnn.com

Because Iraqi forces dont have the best reputation i guess, and its actually documented in our news here so.. albeit it sparsely.

Because the Iraqi Army is still trying to get its **** together, thanks to former PM Maliki's handling of the of the army by enforcing sectarian favoritism within the officer corp before the war. And the cowardice said officers displayed during Daeshe's blitzkrieg. Also the Iraqi army is still relying on Shia militia's that have been recently formed and that have a 'history' of ethnic killings.
