I wonder what Turkey will do if it becomes a NATO operation?
I suggest that if we attack Iran, we do it by MIRV.
Wait a minute...how did Turkey know the U.S. was going to attack Iran anyway?
Viva Kurdistan!
Same story, different country. Some "allies" we have there.

What, and I was certain they would..... not.
Maybe we should have offered them two third-round picks and next year's second-rounder.
Exactly, and what are the repurcausions of airing our plans? Then again, didn't a democrat senator tell Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq of our plans in 2002?
Erg, Same story, same country... Feh. Never mind.

Besides we don't really need them. We've got all the bases we need right on Irans border.
Crank up the 'buffs boys.

Somehow, this is not surprising.
yeah it isn't as if we don't have HUGE AF bases in Kuwait and Qatar either :)
The Turkish govt wouldn't let us us our bases as staging points for the invasion of Iraq either.
This doesn't come as a total surprise. The Turkish govt has become less than cooperative with the US in the last 5 years.
Myabe we should leave Turkey out of our next foreign aid package as a thank you for all their "help" to us.
Why is anyone surprised about this? This "moderate" Muslim "democracy" gets more radicalized every election. Hide and watch what happens in Turkey while we keep on cleaning out the Middle East.
It is ridiculous that we have bases in turkey, when we can never use them when they are needed most. How dumb is that.
Well, we could do nothing. Let Iran build it's bomb...to bomb "you know who" Thus launching a world war in which Turkey and most of the rest of the world glows with radioactive sludge for 1,000's of years.
Well, yawn - they didn't let us attack Iraq from their country either. We still got the job done.
