    Well, the good news is that, when combined with today’s announcement, this sale allows us to now put a dollar amount on Kurdish lives: about $1,750 USD-per-head.

    BREAKING: State Department approves a possible sale to Turkey of Patriot missiles at an estimated cost of $3.5B. Presumably this would be in place of the Russian S-400 missile system - a huge breakthrough for US-Turkey relations.

    Well, if 60 days then a TSK operation into NE Syria could happen by end of February. If 100 days, the operation would be post-local elections.

    U.S. official tells all State Department personnel are being evacuated from within 24 hours. All military forces will be pulled out once final stages of last operation against ISIS is complete. Time frame for pullout expected to be btw 60-100 days.
