I also don't think that Turkey is hoping that ISIS takes care of their "Kurdish problem". If anything, ISIS is drastically increasing the Kurdish demographic in Turkey... most of those refugees are not going home.

Turkey is hoping ISIS will take care of militant Kurds, it's basically using the Joe Stalin Warsaw play book.
What the US should do is heavily arm the Kurds in Iraq, everything, tanks, missiles choppers, turn it into a mini Israel fully capable of taking care of its people, I'm sure the Israelis would help out with the training, the threat of this alone would get turkey off its arse.
