Turkey screwing us in the spring of 2003 in order to beholden themselves to the EU no longer makes them an ally of the US. All future transactions between Turkey and the US should be carried out by the President and Congress on a unilateral basis, ie only if it is advantageous to the US.
Turkey is no longer a staunch ally of ours and should no longer receive any unwarranted US aid.
Blame collin powell. Sometimes it's good to let host countries know that you're planning an invasion through their territory. It had zero to do with the EU.
