It is plain wrong not to acknowledge it happened and an embarrassment that the Bush government is rejecting it just to "save a relationship" in order to (ab)use Turkey as a deployment place for their (and this is where I think you were right...) WAR OF TERROR.

I really hope the resolution goes all the way through, and if it does and the US/Turkish relationship does indeed goes bad - well, we should pull out of Iraq anyways so maybe it even speeds up the process if Turkey throws us out. That would be a good thing IMHO.
