#1 They'll crackle and pop when we set up Kurdistan.

#4 Let's see, how did "W" put it...'your either for us or against us; in this war on terrorism...'. I guess Turkey is making that statement quite clear now. Question now is, will "W" accept this tepid response from a 'friend'?

#5 UFO: US better be careful or Turkey might have it kicked out of NATO.

A NATO without the US is like a car without a steering wheel, an engine, a transmission, wheels, etc. NATO gets it military capability from the US, not the other away around. Only a genius like UFO could see this as a problem for the US.

#6 US better be careful or Turkey might have it kicked out of NATO

Hey works for me. Thats about 350-400 million US dollars we save every year (considering the total amount of monies that NATO gets from its members is in the 500 million ballpark) in expenditures plus the number of troops we don't have to send for them. So remind me again, why is this a BAD thing for us?

#7 Tom's "Secret Plan": Decapitate Iran, Syria, and North Korea without a ground war. Let Iraq split; build a huge base in Kurdistan (with access to a port through the province of Syria). Pull out of the U.N. and NATO, sending Kofi and the U.N. elsewhere. [That's why I can't run for office.]

But the UK is the bodywork.

Belgium is the courtesy light.
Spain is the fine corinthian leather
France is the three beverage containers
Turkey is the broken jack
Greece is the misfolded map in the glove compartment
Germany is the 427 rat motor of your youth.

More like the empty beverage cans behind the passenger seat - making a lot of noise when you go over a rough patch in the road...

#11 So that would make Iceland the loose change between the seats

Canada the left-over Bigmac waxpaper
Italy the Windshield wipers
Lithuania that odd mold in the trunk
Slovakia the floor mat
Luxembourg the mysterious smell

No, no, no.
Turkey is the mysterious short in the electrical system which your mechanic can't trace, but results in your waking up to a dead battery at random intervals, usually on days when you have to go in early.

Greece is the plastic-sided radiator which you just know is going to blow itself to hell on a mountain road in the middle of nowhere.

France is the expensive insurance policy you carry for years and years, and then when you finally need it, you find you're not covered. And then they raise your rates.
