#1 I really could care less about Turkey. The only reason we played nice with them was for the air bases so we could reach the middle east with air power. We can do that now in Iraq and Afganistan, as well as Kuwait. We don't need to play nice with Turkey anymore and listen to their hate filled spew being directed at us. Cut the cord, wish 'em well and get the fook out. I'm sick of giving money to countries that are always using us as a bashing tool and scapegoat so their population has something to hate besides their own corrupt asses.

#2 agreed, but destroy Incirlik before exiting, so they can't annoy our Kurdish allies easily

#3 They made their bet, all in, and lost. It must really suck to be Chirac's favorite joke, but it was their choice. Life's a bitch. It's even worse when you're stupid - and Yippie's crew is the poster-child of stupidity.

#4 Can the U.S.-Turkish Relationship Be Repaired?

The question is, should it be repaired? I think not.

#5 Contrary to popular belief, Americans have long memories and hold a grudge. But I'm sure France will honor their commitment to let Turkey into the EU. Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
