doesn't want them degraded and destroyed, and wants to claim Iraq as a win for the administration, this makes perfect sense.
The Kurds actually want to win, the current Iraq government would rather see the Kurds all dead because then there wouldn't be a Kurdistan problem, the Turk government also would like the Kurds smashed, so if you screw around and let ISIS kill or degrade the Kurds enough, you make the Iraqi and Turk governments happy. And since the Turk PM loves the Muslim Brotherhood, making him happy also makes Obama happy. Etc.
