U.S. RENEGES ON AGREEMENTS AS A POLICY

Buddy,

Re: because he forgot to get any assurances from the US in advance

The same mistake was made by Turkey in the negotiations in advance of Gulf War I in 1990. The Bushies promised billions of dollars to compensate Turkey for the economic disruption to their trade with Iraq, which has been estimated to amount to over $60 Billion in losses since 1991.

This time around, Turkey demanded that they be paid in advance for cooperating with the Bushies. One of the untold stories about why the 4th Mech never landed on Turkey's Mediterranean shore is that the Bushies had their bluff called. No money was forthcoming, only empty promises. No wonder the world regards the U.S. as a shameful and misguided Goliath.
