That's a really unique idea.
Right now I can see the Kurd's getting very disgruntled with the Western response, which is not a good thing.
If Kobani falls to IS and we get a bunch of videos of IS brutes machine gunning and executing Kurdish woman and children there will be enormous pressure on the Western Powers to put actual infantry and armor on the ground to carve out safe zones.
If that happens look at Syria and to an extent Russia to react.
The pressure will also increase on the U.S. to force the fall of Syria's government in order to secure Turkish involvement.
