I suspect you’re right. I suspect a more likely scenario will be an empowered Kurdistan, supported by unlikely allies Turkey and Israel. Give Obama something, leading from behind does create unlikely allies. Perhaps the Saudis and Israel vs Iran as well. Of course none of it accrues to America’s benefit.

In this case, the term, "strange bedfellows" brings a certain "e-e-e-eew" ring to it.
