Turkey has worn out its welcome in NATO. They proved their uselessness by denying our 4th Division the use of its territory for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 (irrespective of Colin Powell’s diplomatic incompetence). And their recent flotilla debacle, and threats against Israel should seal the deal for their exit.
I agree. But the sticking point is Incirlik Air Base and EU membership.
The least damaging action would be for the US to get our nukes and equipment out of Turkey as fast as possible and then get out of NATO, cutting off foreign aid to ‘em all.
