The troops were committed...they wound up in Kuwaitt after being denied entry to Turkey at the last minute. If you want to blame anyone blame the Turkish legislature dominated by Muslims.
I agree that Turkey should bear a lot of the blame. But remember that Turkey wants to enter the European Union in the worst way, and the French were telling them to keep our troops out if they ever want a shot at the EU. So Turkey was in a tough position, and I put a lot of blame on the French.
Blame the french also, they put heavy pressure on the Turks to not help.
