The fact is most America could not find Turkey on the map and couldn't care less. Sorry, Turkey just doesn't occupy much bandwidth in the American zeitgeist.
Turkey and Greece are so close, so why is Turkey a problem and Greece not a problem.
Hmmm, let's compare and contrast. Greece is to Christian and Turkey is to _____________. Anyone care to fill in the blank.
We may feel better by criticizing President George W. Bush and his entourage, but this won't resolve our problem. In other words, this cancer, which is giving signs of spreading to other parts of the body, cannot be treated by removing the cancerous ulcer.
True!
Anti Turkish sentiment?
I'll care about Turkey next November.
An interesting perspective- and quite clear-headed. The fact is- IF Turkey had done as Rummy said- the entire face of the war would have been different. Being able to come in from the north at the same time as we roared up from the south would have produced a different set of dynamics- favorable to us.
Thay may have been true before the invasion, but it's certainly not true now. Americans are very aware that Turky has been mouthing a lot of anti-American sentiment.
Don't like it? Tough $h!t.
turkeys bum rush on the United States will be a burr under my saddle bigger than the burr F***ing france left when they refused our planes air space on our hit on quid daffy.
i hope there economy colapses.
Ignorance is nothing to be proud of.
Is it possible that this is aimed at steeling Turkey's resolve to swallow whatever BS the EU may demand for admittance? Hmmm.... now where did I put that foil wrap?
People in America don’t hate Turkey – it’s just that we went out of our way to support them in every way possible, and in-turn Turkey held mass anti-American street parties on the eve of war.
Frankly Turkey isn’t worth hating and that is their crisis; THEY DON’T MATTER. Before they were our only Muslim ally in the mid-east, times have changed. Now it seems that all the special favors we gave them went to waste and we don’t want to make that mistake again.
My advice to Turkey is to find another friend who will spend their riches to help your people, and try not to stab them in the back. Good riddance.

Hmm. See #13
Are you kidding? Turkey is one of the only places left on Earth where they still have time to make shotguns by hand. We must protect that.
Yeah, of all the countries we're angry with right now, Turkey is pretty far down the list. They've got a long way to go to match France. Canada is in second place I think, and they're pretty secure in their position also.
They will be asking for our support when the EU starts with their demands, and I hope we tell them that they are on their own. We have supported Turkey in the face of Europe for years, and look what we got - nothing; in fact we our out billions of dollars.
It's been a pleasure doing business with Turkey, but now it's time for their asses to find the door.

I lived in Turkey as a kid. Nice place, but horribly backwards.
Maybe 1 in 10,000 Americans know of Turkey and would giggle at the mention of the name, 'Turkey'.
