One of W's biggest diplomatic triumphs was getting Pakistan to ally with us against the Taliban. We were told that Pak would support their friends the Taliban and go to war against us and India. We could not have fought the war w/o Pakistan or w/o keeping Turkey out of the fight.

w/o keeping Turkey out of the fight.

Remember back in the lead up to the war when there was all of incredible speculation in the press about will Turkey let us move troups through or won't they? And how it would really hamper the war effort if we couldn't go in through Turkey.

The has to be one of the best examples of misdirection and disinformation ever done. Even all the Freepers wanted to incinerate Turkey for not giving our troups passage. And then it turns out we rolled over Iraq like it was defended by boy scouts.

I bet going through Turkey was never part of the plan, but the threat kept Sadam on his toes and his forces divided.
