I lived in Turkey for a year, and what I should have said is that they are not part of the European Union. Believe me they are not as hamstrung as the rest of Europe. They are a part of NATO. My mistake. But the point is essentially the same. The Turks are our Ally and they are NOT part of the EU and they are not Hamstrung by the weinies in the EU.

Turkey is not interested in becoming enbroiled in Georgia. The free flow of OIL is their main concern and the money it generates for their economy. Turkey may turn a blind eye to overflight actions in US bases in Adana and Ismir.
