they want to go home and i think there's a feeling potentially amongst the peshmerga and the coalition backing them up that a swift and decisive victory here could perhaps turn the narrative curve of isis beginning to lose territory now. and maybe with the loss of the vial supply route -- and make no mistake, they don't have that road. they didn't have full control of it. maybe that might actually have a bigger symbolic impact against isis itself. wolf. >> i know you're very busy over there, it's a very dangerous situation. one final question. any indication these heroic kurdish fighters, the peshmerga who are closely supportive of the united states, very close to the united states, any indication they would actually take this battle, assuming they win where they are in iraq right now, around this area of sinjar, and actually move into syria itself, move towards raqqah, the so-called isis capital of that caliphate? >> there is no indication they want part of that fight.
