Don't know if anyone else noticed, but since Jim Geraghty moved to Turkey TKS just hasn't been as good. I really, really, really don't care about U.S. - Turkey relations. The bastards wouldn't let us stage and base in southern Turkey for the Iraq invasion and cost us U.S. lives. They're lucky we sell them our second hand weapons systems and really damn lucky we don't use the good stuff on them!
For Pete's sake. Since the end of the Cold War, Turkey has really lost most, if not all of it's strategic value. If they want to act like spoiled brats, let them. Just point to Afghanistan and Iraq to remind them what happens if they get too unruly...
Jim should work hard at convincing Mrs. TKS that Washington DC is where they ought to be (suddenly the theme from the Beverly Hillbillys is playing in my head... must. make. it. stop.)
