#2 Nope, that's not going to happen. The Kurds have the best indigenous soldiers in the region, good equipment, and pretty good leadership at this point. Be it Sunnis, Shi'a, or Iranians, I wouldn't mess with the Kurds. Turks might want to consider that point as well.

#3 Peshmerga are light infantry. No armor, no artillery, never mind Air Force.

#4 The Iraqi army doesn't have much armor or artillery right now, and Iraq doesn't have an Air Force.
