and never forget ISIL is in Syria b/c Obama let them run wild in Iraq and then actually armed them to try and overthrow Assad.
Kurds are Sunni Muslims. Many are associated with PKK which the US, and Eu have designated a terror organization.many are associated with YPG which is a Marxist socialist movement and more importantly, we are NOT authorized to be in Syria to defend the Kurds.
review the authorization to use military force in Syria and I'd love for someone to point out where it says were are there or even authorized to defend the Kurds against Turkey.
