When asked about progress, Tillerson: "Not tonight, we're still working,"

OK, We will see tomorrow.

I like Tillerson.

The Turks have a simple position....no Kurdish homeland on their border, period. I don’t see the US able to counter that position. Keeping Incirlik open and US military operations continuing....are now a major question-mark. Given the slide since the coup, it’s just a matter of time before we are chased out of Turkey.

On the Kurd thing...if we start to accept this idea...it affects four significant countries in the region, and I think it just opens up a bunch of problems on down the line.

Turkey is islamicist and anti-west. That’s all one needs to know.

We probably have, what, 2,000 troops there?
A Stryker battalion, a few Marine Corps 155 Howitzer batteries, probably some AH-64s and UH-60s plus ground crews.

I think that's what's standing between the Turks and Kurds - or am I a month behind?
