The Turks are acting miserably. It's clear that their ownly interests are in getting the billions in loans and guarantees, continuing to repress the Kurds, and getting their paws on as much of the Northern Iraqi oil as they can. All while vacillating on the access rights issue in order to milk us for even more cash and guarantees.

They seem to forget that there is an implicit debt we owe to the Kurds that we are probably going to repay. Our own behavior after the Gulf War toward the Kurds was shameful. Powell, Cheney, and Rumsfeld know it, as does W. Being decent men, they are not going to let the Kurds take it on the chin again. At least I hope so.
