#1 Where is Murat? He had a few good points. If we're going to try and push democracy in the region maybe it's better to been respecting the choices of the Turkish parliament.

#2 Rummy should simply explain to them what the consequences of a misguided M.O.A.B in downtown Istanbul.

Aside from that, F the Turks. We do not need them. They will prove to be a bigger headache then they are worth!

#3 The Turks have served their purpose. The Iraqi army has been deploying and redeploying back and forth for the past 4 moths to the northern provinces, seeing how the Iraqi army doesnt believe in silly little things like basic maintenance on their heavy gear, Id have to assume they are all pretty worn out by now. I think we should give the 36 billion we were going to give to Turkey to Afghanistan and Hamid Karzai.

The turks are free to vote as the please, but they are well advised to remember the famous American Phrase " Payback is a bitch"

#4 It's getting worse by the day. Now they're refusing their airspace too. This means that even airborne operations through Turkey are no longer possible. Is Turkey now an official member of the Axis of Evil ?
