We really have to reevaluate our alliance with Turkey. Yes, they allowed us to maintain listening posts on their mountain sides overlooking the Soviet Union during the Cold War and this gave us a great advantage for intelligence gathering. But, we also paid a heavy price, and we're still paying it. Is it worth the price today? To be honest, I would rather have one Kurd at my back than any number of Turks in front of me.

Believe you meant to say Incirlik. Spent two years in Turkey and watched Erdogan run roughshod over the military. I don't believe they can recover any time soon.
