It also benefits Turkey.

Our troops have been partnering with the Kurds, and have created a secure, peaceful mini-district that the Turks don’t like the looks of. But as long as US troops are there, Turkey can’t attack them. (they’re afraid if it’s allowed to remain and flourish and continue working with the US, it might be a precursor to an attempt at creating a Kurdish state).

So once again we made promises to the Kurds and then abandon them?
