#1 Moving out of the way, I think. Hezb's got a pummling coming, and Syrai wants clear.

#3 They may be pulling them back to Syria in order to guard their border with Iraq. Might be concerned that a few thousand Iraqis may be relocating themselves, real soon. Also,Syria has their own Kurds that could be getting ideas, if you know what I mean.
