Turkey had a choice between America and France. They chose France. Let France provide for their common defense, let France guarantee their loans, let France give them military and financial aid. France offered the most, now let them pay for it. I no longer consider Turkey a friend. Friends don't let friends down in their time of need.
When the German economy goes down the toilet, the French can't be far behind. Let the economic cold war begin.

Several commentators have noted France's half-century-long attempt to build alliances in the Arab / Muslim world that would allow it to counterpoise itself to American interests there. This looks like a good example of such -- and an even better example of how Paris will use such alliances to our detriment.
Turkey, of course, was willing to be bought, for the right price. Any chance some part of that price might have found its way to the French, or to particular persons in the Chirac Administration? You think?

just one more reason to thank the peanut farmer from Georgia Oh, you mean that revered Nobel Peace Prize winner... the pride and joy of Plains, GA... I'm still waiting for his negotiated settlement with North Korea to take hold and deliver on all the promise that "we can work with Kim Jung Il!"
Ah, the peanut farmer... The worst president of the past 50 years... actually, that's a toss-up between Jimmy and Bubba... and maybe LBJ. Oh, well... I concur with your sentiment!

My suspicions all along.
I knew the French were blackmailing the Turks over EU membership.
The question now is, what is EU membership worth, now that it means that the Europeans will not have the protective security from the U.S.?
