Any clue what the deal was then?

please explain. Also explain who the parties to the deal were.

The deal was that Turkey would be reimbursed for it's economic losses caused by her closing her borders wih Irak. This never materialized, in short we were conveniently told that "oops, it did not pass congress." Add to that the weapons which were left in northern Irak and ended up in the hands of the PKK terrorist organization, and we now have extreme suspicion towards the USA by the citizenry of Turkey.
