The U.S. made a deal to allow Turkey to push country troops up into the northern territory, thus creating the 12-mile "buffer" zone. This is land that they won't be returning anytime soon. Turks hate the Kurds as it is and will create negative relations between U.S. Coalition and Kurd troops. A negative outcome will result from this action, delaying the war. The longer this goes on, the larger this mess will become . It's obvious the purpose of the attack was to test U.S. and British technology. It's a war room playground! U.S. has been empirical from the start and is now taking British people with them...after all they have been at the U.S.'s beck and call from the start of the Boston Tea Party.
