We've no allies left there apart from the Kurds. Everyone involved is buying arms wherever they can. It makes for another small problem, but even if we were to shut down all conduits of arms they'd throw rocks at us. Or try to sabotage and booby trap us with whatever they could fabricate....not caring about their own lives. Whether we admit it now or not we've lost. Short of the genocide of killing every able bodied man, they will oppose us to their dying breath. How does genocide sound to you? Because we could go down that route. We either need very strong stomachs indeed (and no concept of morality - supposedly why we got involved in the first place) or we give in and get out soon, preserving the lives of our forces.
