Turk

What Turkey asked for were guarantees that they would not get screwed again financially and socially because the previous Bush that had played war games in Iraq left the bill to Turkey, never fulfilling his promises, not to mention the million or so Kurdish refugees who had to be cared for by Turkey when they had to run from Saddam and into Turkey.

Among those refugees were terrorists who ended up blowing up elementary schools, hospitals, military check points, shopping malls, etc. But who cares about lives lost to terrorism unless they are American lives, right?

We are not going to get into all the Iraqi oil that used to get pumped into Turkish refineries and ports, and all the lost revenue, jobs, etc.

But hey, why bother with the facts when throwing accusations around is so much simpler?

I get it! We should start bombing them, too. Woo-Hoo!! Let's bomb everyone but Saudi Arabia. We can't bomb them. They need to supply more fundamentalists so we can blame it on other regimes.

Seriously, didn't Pakistan "extort" money from us, and didn't Bush go for it? Too bad you can't mention other countries that helped us like Uzbekistan who got nothing in return but coup attempts. Hell with 'em, right. There Muslim and we should bomb them too. As long as there not Saudi.
