If you've ever done business with the Turks, you'll soon find that while that are generally good guys, they will negotiate you to the point of exhaustion. And then, when you think the deal is done, they'll retrade you one last time.

Well, Mr. Minister, that's what you get for trying to bleed one of the best friends you HAD in this world!!

Turkey COULD HAVE BEEN a partner with the USA.
Turkey and France sleep with the fishes.

Haha, maybe next time they'll think twice before rejecting $23 billion or whatever it was.
Stupid Turks.

We're already witnessing what the endless haggling with Turkey cost us -- American and British lives.

Turkey really should listen to Bush. He means what he says, a rare quality, he said America will not be blackmailed.

On a tangentally related topic:
What are the chances that a big reason Turk troops are massing on the border is because, having developed an insignificant 'northern front', they expect large numbers of fleeing Ba'ath baddies to escape into Turkey?
And how hard would the US try to prevent that?
Does Turkey have the opportunity to regret twice?

Turkey badly played its hand. Now they realize that even their tourist income is going up in smoke. They are appealing to the EU for support - but with friends like the French, they can't/shouldn't expect much. Now, their excursions into N. Iraq to intercept the Kurds is a disastrous blunder. Their voice in a post-Saddam Iraq is all but shot down the drain. What a series of incredible blunders!

That is an extremely misleading title you put up for this thread. In the article the Turks are NOT admitting to having made a mistake. They are still slithering around, misquoting the U.S., trying to twist the words of the U.S. to give them permission to invade Iraq even though the President says very plainly "NO" invasion of ANY Turks acceptable.
They first deny, then admit, then deny, then admit that they have already moved troops into northern Iraq....and their goal is control of the northern Iraq oil fields. They are determined to cannibalize Iraq, and the U.S. is determined to maintain the integrity of Iraq's borders, and Iraq's resources for Iraq's people, including the Iraqi Kurds, Turkomens, etc, etc.
The Turkish government and the Turkish military have revealed themselves to be treacherous, deceitful, duplicitous, greedy and showing complete contempt for the security of the U.S. military.
There is NO difference in character between Turkey and France.

"Historic admission SABAH said: "Former foreign minister Yasar Yakis recounts the financial aid shock the USA has given the AK Party: "We thought that America was compelled to get our support. We never believed that America had a Plan B. We were badly mistaken'." I read through the article twice, and your quote above is nowhere in this article!
