The fact is that leading members of government in Iran, Turkey and Jordan all supported the war.

Hello? Am I getting through?

Iran and Turkey definitely did not support the war. Jordan was a little in the middle.

Re Turkey - Of course the ruling party's leaders supported the US. That's how and why they came up with the idea of presenting the bill to allow US use of Turkish bases to the Parliament.

However, the fact that the parliament (in which they have an overwhelming majority) rejected the bill goes to show that even AKP representatives did not all agree.

Anyway, what's this "leading members of government supported"? The country did not. Deal with it.
