The United States reacted angrily Wednesday after Turkey's state news agency disclosed the locations of American military posts in northern Syria, a move the Pentagon warned could put lives at risk.

The Anadolu Agency (AA) published a report Monday detailing the 10 US military facilities' whereabouts and, in some instances, the number of special operations forces working there.

Pentagon spokesman Major Adrian Rankine-Galloway said the release of sensitive military information exposes coalition forces to "unnecessary risk."

We need to remove all our military hardware and personnel from this moslem hellhole. Then NATO needs to expel Turkey. There is no reason for us to defend Turkey. They are part of the axis of evil.

we should have already removed the Tactical Nukes we have at the airbase there. I doubt that we did as the military is still full of obama’s buttboys,.

Past time to boot Turkey from NATO.....they cannot be trusted and if the truth be known they have a stronger allegiance to islam than democracy and western culture.

Endocrine through his son was making a fortune supplying ISIS and buying oil from them. Most of that has been cut off by Assad and the Kurds. So now he is pissed that we are protecting the Kurds. He has a final solution in mind for the Kurds and we’re in his way.

Why is Turkey even a member of NATO? It is quite simply a “turkey.” Ataturk called it, stop Islamic influence and be done. Erdogan is the antichrist of Turkey. Stop this crap, now.

If things go good, Turkey may well be doing us a big favor. Now Trump has an excuse to PULL US OUT OF SYRIA, a place we have no business in, not to mention the fact that we’re supporting the wrong side (i.e., the terrorist side).

Time for us to GET OUT...and let Assad have his country back.

They screwed us during the Gulf War...and is no longer a secular state.

When Erdogen got elected, everyone said "how did that happen"? Same way that Obama got elected.

Obama took Erdogen to be a great pal. Muzzies stick together!!

Other than countering Russia, I am still trying to figure out why and what we are doing in Syria.
