And let us not forget that when we invaded Iraq, Turkey refused to allow the 3ID to invade from the north. That would have forced Saddam to split his forces..likely saved hundreds of American lives. We should have moved to kick them out of NATO on the sport, and told them to take Incirlik and shove it up their collective asses. The base is worthless strategically if we won’t be allowed to use it..

War of all against war. In a cynical way, this is good for the US.

The Turks want Iraq to fall apart, which will facilitate the Sunni caliphate. The Kurds can be mopped up later.

Erdogan’s government has allowed ISIS fighters to train in Turkey and cross the border between Turkey and Syria at will to participate in the fighting. Moreover, according to Pipes, Turkey “provided the bulk of ISIS’s funds, logistics, training and arms.” I doubt it's Turkey doing the 'providing;' it's probably the US with Turkey laundering the money.
