#1 Not good actors. Remember this:
: The 4th was initially ordered to deploy in January 2003 before the war began, but did not arrive in Kuwait until late March. The delay was caused by the inability of the United States and Turkey to reach an agreement over using Turkish military bases to gain access to northern Iraq, where the division was originally planned to be located.
This let the Saddam folks and Jihadist melt away with arms to continue the struggle.

Turkey is NOT a friend or ally of the USA no matter what the dip shits in State dream.

#2 Turkey and U.S. Plan to Create Syria ‘Safe Zone’ Free of ISIS.

Free of Kurds as well, so it would appear. More Obama regime secret negotiations and Chicago deal making.

#5 The recent discussions in Iraq which seem to imply Iraq setting the Kurdish region off as a sovereign country in exchange for Kurdish "expertise" in dealing with ISIS has probably caused this.

The Turks DO NOT want a greater Kurdistan because it would mean surrendering a large chunk of Turkey to the Kurds.

Because the Turks hate everyone including themselves, they cannot stand the idea of the Kurds having a homeland.

#6 Payback to ISJV for Obama/Kerry re-arming Team Assad?

Turkey gets some acreage, continued ISJV turnpike charges, okiedokie to kill Kurds?

I said at the beginning of this the Kurds should lay down a wet line and get Kurdistan internationally supported/recognized. Turks trying to close that window, IMHO Iran to start operations and Iraq to secure holdings on agreement nobody makes TV waves doing so.

#8 Turkey is NOT a friend or ally of the USA no matter what the dip shits in State dream.

Actually it was elements at State that scuttled the negotiations by 'leaking' to the media.

#9 ISIS/ISIL = Fascists = Right-wing Nationalists; PKK = Kurds = Marxists-Communists = Left-wing Secularists/Separatists.
