an attack on Turkey by Iraq, Syria, or both, would bring the full wrath of NATO

The US was attacked and I don't, as of yet, see the "full wrath" of NATO being brought down upon the Taliban..

But I rather think you're correct, since we're just looking for an excuse to get rid of Saddam, as well as deal with the Syrian backed terrorism...

Just trying to make sure that we all remember that the only backbone possessed by NATO lies in the US and Britain.

That's not to denigrate the support from the Turks we're receiving... But let's face it... sending 90 SpecOps folks from Turkey is hardly an example of "full wrath"..

And the German government is facing a "no-confidence" vote because of Green Party opposition to the bombing of Afghanistan.
