What? He was about to kill 50.k-100k people. Said he was gunna go house to house etc. If you don't see stopping that as being an important goal, then, o.k. No, they aren't slaughtering numbers like that in Bahrain, or Yemen. The reason we've struggled in both Iraq and Afghanistan is because the population didn't want us there. Look, from what we've seen, the Americans and the Euros actually hit some targets, and did some damage. That's a half miracle in itself. I say we gave them a chance. Tell ya what the smartest thing to do is. This Turk cockroach wants into the E.U. (real badly.) Need to get the Germans n' French to let him into the E.U. ( in return for Turkish troops coming in to force a ceasefire. ) We, and the Euros get out. Getting the French n' Germans to let the Turks join the E.U. will be difficult though.
