That's exactly it. We stood by and watched when Saddam gassed them, even long after we considered him an enemy. Then eventually aligned with them after we overthrew Saddam and the region plunged into chaos because they were natural enemies of the Sunni force ISIS, who would like to see the Kurds extinct. once that was no longer convenient we abandoned them to the slaughter.
The common term for the US among Islamic extremists the great satan. Well, you know what they say about making deals with the devil...
