“Turkey is a long-standing ally of the U.S., but has sometimes opposed American military operations in the Middle East, including the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Getting Ankara’s support for further action against the Islamic State would be a major benefit for the United States.
Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, operated by the U.S. Air Force, could be a launching pad for strikes against the militants or a base for conducting intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance flights in Syria.”
ONLY PROBLEM HERE IS TURKEY DIDN’T LET US USE ANY BASES WHEN WE ATTACKED IRAQ, THEY REFUSED.
ALSO, TURKEY AND QATAR BOTH ARE FUNDING TERRORISTS AND BOTH WANT THE DESTRUCTION OF USA ALLY ISRAEL
TURKEY SHOULD BE OUT OF NATO, AND QATAR SHOULD NOT BE FUNDING TERRORISTS LIKE HAMASS
“Turkey is a key NATO ally....” ?????????????
