The Kurds were only our allies in as much they needed us. Same way we needed them at the time. That relationship is over.
We had special operations forces in their territory prior to the start of the war. They and Peshmerga were the entirety of our troops in the north and by all accounts were effective. The main push came from the south because we had access to ports and air bases. We would have come (harder) from the north if Turkey wasn't being a lil' bitch.
