It is obvious to me that, when the records and evidence are in at the end of this war, that Iraqi bribe money flowed freely to Chirac and his party.

And Turkey was allegedly warned to turn down the use of our bases at the last moment by threats from France and Germany about Turkey joining the EU. Chirac publically threatened Eastern Eurpean countries with loss of membership because they signed a letter supporting the U.S. It's going to take a lot of investigation, and who knows if we can ever get to the bottom of that cesspool.

You just finally clarified the Turkey mystery. Thanks.

I think the warnings to Turkey were only for public consumption. Behind closed doors I'm pretty sure the French have been egging Turkey on to defy the United States.
