Turkey is 98% moslem, but the vote was as close as 50-50 as one can get
(5 votes difference)

Hardly. While naturally I'd like us to be able to use Turkey, it doesn't necessarily serve their interests:
1. After the last Gulf War, they suffered a terrible recession.
2. They are extremely afraid the this war will result in a sovereign Kurdistan, and that will only encourage Kurds in Turkey to rise up.
3. And yes, we did renig on previous promises.ICQ: 176050593 / AIM: JerSF2000

Last I checked pop, the vote failed. Also, and please correct me if I'm mistaken, during the latest elections, the group that won the most seats was the group we'd refer to as the "most fundamentalist" If they had not won, the vote would have gone the US's way.Originally posted by Serge_Oprano

Some would say that this is the begining of the slow slide towards losing turkey just as they were about to become part of the civilized world.

And what is wrong with Kurds getting an autonomy. The poor people never had their own land and were supressed and killed by the Turks. I think the whole world and especially Turkey owes to them big time.Comment

Actually, the anti american and anti war propaganda was started by the democrats who were ranked second at the election. Also, the third party had 2 min anti american videos broadcasted on the biggest tv channels of Turkey for over 2 weeks. The video clips were mostly attacking to the current government and explaining how America did not keep its promises in the first war. The last words appeared at the videos was "Is America attacking to the Iraq or Turkey".Originally posted by 12clicks

Turkey will not help U.S. if Bush continues to play with kurd terrorists against saddam.. those kurds will attack Turkish forces with the anti aircraft guns that Bush supplied when your job is done on that area and Turkish ppl will never forgive U.S.
anyway Turkish forces are in the norh iraq with 1000s of tanks, troops ans special forces.. these are captured from CNN Turk channel yesterday..

the US has given turkey *billions* already. Pretending that the US didn't fullfill its promises is a lie.
"oh, sorry turkey, out of the billions of things we *gave* you, we forgot a couple. you're right, that makes us wrong"
