The US and Kobani

From a well-known US correspondent who wishes to remain anonymous: "The NYT reports: The Turks "entered Syria through Kobani, the Kurdish territory in Syria that has recently been freed of Islamic State militants in an American-led military operation.."
American-led military operation? Kobani was won and led by Kurds, including armed young and older women, fighting in their streets. The US assisted with aerial bombardments. The US did not lead anything."
