If the Turks value their friendship with Chiraq more than with America... well, they can make their choices and take their chances.
There are a lot of Turks in Germany, and I noticed the Turkish soldiers carry German G3 assault rifles. If the Turks are trying to get on Germany's good side, they should recognize that the CDU is coming back into power; if they really want to do what's in their national interest, they should try to improve relations with the pro-America Christian Democrats.

If Turkey told US to pound salt, they're sure as heck not going to be pressured by sodden hampsters in FRANCE. It's looking to me like Turkey just wants to get through this with its borders and independence intact. Can't really blame 'em -- we'd probably do the same thing in their shoes.
Agree with other folks here who noted that France is now part of the Axis.
