Re: That's pure BS. Bush has been pushing the EU to accept Turkey for two years now. Your anti Americanism colors everything you view.

I don't see why it's "anti-American" to claim that the US and Israeli interest is to keep Turkey isolated and surrounded by geopolitical foes.... Of course, that's not the line spun by the US media-military complex. Nobody expects US officials to blurt out that an isolated Turkey suits Washington's and Tel Aviv's agendas.

I've been sifting through SI to dig up an article I posted a coupla years ago --I think it was an International Herald Tribune op-ed-- that concurred with my view. Unfortunately I couldn't find it... Anyway, here are a few posts that illustrate my point:

Besides, some European leaders (Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, eg) opposed to Turkey's membership ironically notice that if Turkey joined the EU she would hold the EU rotating presidency every other year... So, they quip, imagine a summit between the US President and... the EU's Turkish President!?!? Indeed, there's reason for them --and their US Judeocon soul mates-- to feel jittery about the prospect of a European Union enlarged to Turkey, making it all the more difficult to launch holy crusades against "ugly Muslims"....
