Turkey's path to nukes By Thomas P.M. Barnett OP-ED: Opinion: It's getting chilly between Turkey and Israel, By HDS Greenway, GlobalPost, October 21, 2009 globalpost.com I know some analysts are playing this "rift" down, but I do see a calculated reorientation on the part of the Turks, whom I believe are shrewdly looking ahead to joining the nuclear race under the right conditions--hence the need to distance some and to clear up neighbor issues. Why? Turkey, I believe, would be hard-pressed not to be at the inevitable table with the Israelis, Iranians and Saudis. Note the rumors already of Iranian-Israeli secret talks in Cairo. Such a move will invariably strain ties with Israel, but Ankara will do it to claim its rightful place as the most with-it Muslim great power in the region.
