I seem to remember that the whole 4th ID was over the fact that Turkey didn't want the Coalition meddling in Turkish affairs; however, I never saw an invitation for Turkey to meddle in the Coalition's affairs now that the 4th ID is in a liberated Iraq. Do the Turks have a series problem with the Ironhorse Division or something?

We've removed all our planes from Incirlik. We've lost a significant motivation to bend over backwards for the Turks.
This was handled the right way, but I think we should let Turkey know that they're getting off easy this time, and not to return.
