Hi KLP; Re the article: "... As part of the final preparations, the United States is hastily building a desert airstrip in the United Arab Emirates to base more than 100 fighter planes that Turkey won't allow on its soil. ... While the United States is still pressing Turkey for overflight rights, there is no indication Turkey will agree. One fallout of Turkey's refusal is that some of the army's best equipment, including its newest M1A2 tanks, are stuck on ships floating off the Turkish coast and likely will not be available in a war." Turkey's actions have been consistent with an intention to put as large a monkey wrench into US plans as possible. This is worse for Bush than what I expected out of Turkey, as he was taken in by their ruse rather completely. -- Carl
