HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Yes, it could be looked at that way!
Meanwhile, Turkey has dusted off its military, and it STRUCK!
Did it finally come to the aid of the Kurds in Kobani???
Well, not exactly.
Turkey's military pounded KURDS! IN TURKEY!
The name "Turkey" really is taking on a different connotation.
So, WHY are they in NATO, exactly? It's a little hard to say!

Turks have been historically well known for pounding other men from behind. Nothing new.

Well, IS is getting hammered in Kobane now. Seems to me the US has played this well - talk up the chances of the city falling to deny IS a major propaganda victory if it succeeds. Meanwhile, put some special ops on the ground (quite possibly) to guide the airstrikes onto IS targets, killing hundreds of IS fighters and tilting the battle in the Kurds' favour. I think this will be the containment strategy going forward.
It's not personal. It's just war.

This is a game the US is playing. It knows Turkey is on the side of ISIS. But it turns a blind eye to Turkey bombing Kurds and aiding ISIS, and it pressured Germany to accept the 'refugees' streaming out of Turkey, no questions asked. That's because the US - STILL - prefers ISIS to Assad. And, by extension, prefers ISIS to Russia and to Putin.
Just like our own local ISIS-loving propagandists. When they HAVE to choose between Russia and ISIS, they pick ISIS.

‘Oxygen for jihadists’: ISIS-smuggled oil flows through Turkey to intl markets – Iraqi MP
Terroist group Islamic State earns millions of dollars selling oil on the black market in Turkey, Iraqi MP and former national security adviser, Mowaffak al Rubaie told RT. He also revealed that wounded terrorists are being treated in Turkish hospitals.
“In the last eight months ISIS has managed to sell ... $800 million dollars worth of oil on the black market of Turkey. This is Iraqi oil and Syrian oil, carried by trucks from Iraq, from Syria through the borders to Turkey and sold ...[at] less than 50 percent of the international oil price,” Mowaffak al Rubaie said in an interview with RT.
“Now this either get consumed inside, the crude is refined on Turkish territory by the Turkish refineries, and sold in the Turkish market. Or it goes to Jihan and then in the pipelines from Jihan to the Mediterranean and sold to the international market.”

No surprise there, the Turks hate the Kurds (it has been said because the Kurds take no shit from the Turks, or anybody else for that matter. Is it any wonder US troops fight alongside these particular freedom fighters).

This article was sent to me and explains very nicely why Turkey is sitting on its hands even though ISIS is right at its doorstep. According to the analyst, Brahma Chellaney,Quote:http://www.panorama.am/en/politics/2014/10/10/islamic-state-turkey1/
for President Erdogan, the Islamic State is a lesser evil than President Assad and the Kurds. So he is even not sending his ground forces to battle the Islamic State. After all, his policies have contributed to the rise of Islamic State. He will not put his army against the Islamic State. That is the reason why Turkish tanks are just watching silently as IS terrorists continue to attack this town of Kobani from all sides.... In fact, President Erdogan is telling Washington that if the US wants the Turkish military to intervene in Syria, it has to be on the specific promise by Washington that regime change in Damascus is part of the larger American game plan. And the Americans at the moment are reluctant to give that promise, and that is the reason why President Erdogan is not pressing his forces into action, even in Kobani, which is the city under siege by the Islamic militants.
This explains the violent Kurdish protests (read: riots) in Turkey. Until recently, Kurds had an active military and political separatist movement. Failure by President Erdogan to assist Kurds in northeastern Syria (right on Turkey's border) may re-ignite the Kurdish military aspect.
It also is one more piece of evidence that Turkey has been an active partner in developing ISIS, because it has been busy funneling Saudi- and Qatari-funded arms to jihadists in Syria. That's in addition to leaked recordings of Turkey's top military command planning a false-flag operation from over the Syrian border in order to provide a "reason" for Turkey to attack Syria.

So ISIS, like al Qaida, was created by Saudi Arabia. Unlike al Qaida, ISIS was also supplied by Qatar, with Turkey's assistance and the tacit (and sometimes active) approval of the USA, especially in the gun-running operations from Libya.
Regime change in Syria seems to be on the Saudi's mind as well. There are persistent reports that the USA has had to promise something to Riyadh for the Saudi's (lackluster, limited) participation in the anti-ISIS coalition.

--------------------
In effect, the USA and its coalition is fighting itself when its fighting ISIS. Because although the USA and its coalition would seem to be fighting ISIS, the reality is that ISIS is a useful tool for taking part of Iraq out from Iran's control, and for providing the USA and its partners a wedge into Syria to effect the final goal of removing Assad (allied with Iran and Russia) from power. For me, it's still an open question as to how vigorously the USA intends to pursue ISIS, because we have a history of fighting only SOME terrorists, but not others.
This wouldn't be the first time that the USA used jihadists to attain some "greater" geopolitical goal. After all, didn't we use jihadists in Afghanistan and Libya to achieve success? And look how well it worked out for them! And for us!

Video footage shows the abuse and humiliation of #Kurdish prisoners, including female fighters, by armed Syrian opposition factions in #Aleppo and the Tal Rifaat area. Pro-Turkish opposition militants describe the Kurdish prisoners as pigs and enemies of God in a scene similar to the crimes of #ISIS against the Kurds and minorities.
