Recent US aid levels to Turkey are about ONE BILLION annually (that's a billion 'merican dollars, not no loonies or nuthin'). I wonder if the checks keep coming with Turkey up to all kinds of mischief in Iraq.

Unless it is propped up by US and EU aid, Turkey would be a third world hell hole. The politicians playing games in Iraq are dicing with throwing most of their population into grinding poverty.

Not so. You're talking about IMF loans. That's credit not aid.
