Some ISIS recruits? Like 10k of them, Turkey hates the US and will release those ISIS fighters back to the front lines.

In a few years, when we go back over there on the next mess the politicians get us into, some Kurdish kid whose family got whacked because we lied to them will be planting bombs in the road and shooting at us - we'll call them terrorists and a bunch of @ssholes.


This guy gets it.... first post I’ve read on here by someone who truly understands what the hell we just did


Not quite. If we fail to act not only are we not helping an ally, but we will be allowing the genocide of a race of people that were our allies. There won't be any kids left to plant bombs from the Kurdish race. What needs to happen but it won't as long as Turkey is in NATO is for the Kurds to have their own country carved from part of Turkey and Iraq.

Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
