Turkey remains a very valuable ally, and a country particularly in a period when promoting moderation and democracy in the Muslim world is particularly important to America's interest.
I think there's some room here to work on something that gives the troops the flexibility they need, gives Congress the oversight it needs.
I think it was a mistake not to let them know that when they were in effect being retired, that they would also be paid.
