[George W. Bush]

Turkey claims that it is opposed to war in Iraq while planning to invade itself.

I know. It's like we've recently fallen through a rip in the space-time fabric and found ourselves in BizarroWorld or something. I think what we're really witnessing is a sea-change in worldwide international relations, something of a realignment that will shape the first half of the twenty-first century. Bush's war on terrorism and terrorist states like Iraq with WMD has merely exposed the conflict more openly than ever.

The Axis of Weasels, along with merely self-interested parties like Turkey or Russian, are fighting to impose an order that will favor their inefficient and outdated economic policies and to try to be relevant internationally.

"The Axis of Weasels, along with merely self-interested parties like Turkey..."

Not so fast. The Axis of Weasels is the core of the EU. Turkey has been grubbing about trying to get admittance to the EU. The Froggies and Krauts want no part of a moslem horde annexing itself to their wonderful sophisticated cultures.(Remember, citizens of EU nations can cross boundaries at will...)

Ah, but what if now come the Turks bearing gifts, such as the Northern Iraqi oilfields-- suddenly the Eurofascists have their very own internal source of oil wealth...

All the euro's have to do is ignore the obscene turkish human rights record, hold their noses, and vote Turkey in as an EU member...and it's a whole new economic ballgame...
