Welcome back, Carl. Why am I not surprised you come back with a bit of news that tilts your way? I wouldn't count to much on it; as I read it, both sides are just dickering over the price. As the final result, let's all just think which side the Turk's bread is buttered on. TWT

re: we made the Turks an offer they couldn't refuse: Yes, the Turks, right up to the moment the ground war starts, could say: "We'll ignore our people's wishes, and be a Team Player. But the "team" hasn't made up its mind. The 4 NATO counties with the most powerful armies (not counting us), are split down the middle on this issue. We are shifting to a neutral position, banning all air/ground operations from our territory into Iraq, until you 4 reach consensus." They could also say they need an explicit "weapons-free" order from the Security Council, before they participate in this war.
