Yeah, Turkey is very self-serving. We saw that in the run up to Saddam’s replacement when they bartered with planners on how to let the 4th Div through.
Yea. They really screwed us on that one. A lot of those early al Qaeda goons Saddam allowed to work in the bio/chemical terror camps they had set up north would have been taken out with their occupants by our Airborne boys in those first few days if the 4th Div where allowed to ingress into Iraq via. the Turkish airfields. For a NATO member to treat us the way they did was simply wrong.
