We need to treat turkey with respect and not impugn their new leaders who may have fumbled the ball in their dealings with us. They are new at it. Most Turks are against the war. Most Turks regret that they will not be getting US aid. I believe we have offered them over 1 billion in grants to help them out anyway. I heard that last night. And we must not let the right wing in this country villify the turks and blame them for a few of the few american casualties. Our own military probably should have redirected the 4th weaponry thru the Suez canal much earlier than we did. Mistakes on both sides here. We need turkey as an american ally, not as a supplicant member of the P*EU Mike
