The oil fields in Kirkuk are worth a lot more than the three billion we provide Turkey a year.
I didn't know we gave them three billion per year but that just makes it worse.
Turkey, IMO, should be considered a write-off...I'm convinced we will discover that the Turks were far more than a relief-valve for illegal Iraqi Oil for Cash bribes and the like, in total cahoots with the EU: betting on the downside of America's liberation of Iraq and hedging their entry into the EU in the balance.
With a backdrop of Muhammadan nationalism, Kurdish Communist terrorism and Kurdish nationalism in the Turkish Muhammadan mindset...
Should be interesting to see who is sleeping / will sleep with whom and how it turns out.
