#1 Has anyone told El Baradei? The EU?

#2 You can give this a Master of the Obvious graphic if you like, but I think it is pretty ballsy of some jurist in a country that is drifting Islamist to say out loud what no other European power seens to have the 'nads to say. Assasinations are not unheard of in that part of the world. I hope that this is a sign that the elites of Turkey are starting to come to their senses and rein in their drifting polity.

#3 Turkey is both Sunni and Secular and thus a potential target of an Iranian nuke.

Even worse for them is that they share a common border with Iran.

#4 Either Turkey comes to its senses, or we will have to help create Kurdistan out of the eastern part.

That crap they pulled (which is hurting us even now in the Sunni Triangle) not allowing in the 4th ID should weigh very heavily on any decisions we make to help or reinforce the Turks, or the kurds.
