#1 Of the 130,000 "refugees"....how many are ISIS fighters on R&R? The Turks should have been evicted from NATO long, long ago.

#2 I believe there are but two US bases in Turkey. The Izmir Air Base located 200 miles from Istanbul which appears to be active only infrequently, and the Incirlik Air Base which has been home to the US, Turkish British Air Forces. The base is strategically located north of the brder with Syria and 35 miles from the Mediterranean. It has been rumored for months that the US presence at Incirlik has been diminished (and the drone operations moved). In any case, to demonstrate good faith with the Kurds, and spit in Turkey and its Muslim Brother president's eye, the US base should be moved to the large complex at Irbil, Kurdistan.
