If you've ever done business with the Turks, you'll soon find that while that are generally good guys, they will negotiate you to the point of exhaustion. And then, when you think the deal is done, they'll retrade you one last time.

Turkey COULD HAVE BEEN a partner with the USA.

Haha, maybe next time they'll think twice before rejecting $23 billion or whatever it was.
Stupid Turks.

We're already witnessing what the endless haggling with Turkey cost us -- American and British lives.

Turkey really should listen to Bush. He means what he says, a rare quality, he said America will not be blackmailed.

Add on "and deeply saddened" at the end of the sentence and it's perfectly encompassing for the entire Axis of Weasels.

On a tangentally related topic:
What are the chances that a big reason Turk troops are massing on the border is because, having developed an insignificant 'northern front', they expect large numbers of fleeing Ba'ath baddies to escape into Turkey?
And how hard would the US try to prevent that?
Does Turkey have the opportunity to regret twice?
