14. Ah, yes. The very same Turkey that nickel-and-dimed us pre-invasion.

The very same Turkey that would not allow us to use their airspace to launch a simultaneous attack from the north, leaving us to push through the desert. The very same Turkey that stood it's ground for U.S. fighter aircraft and parts, and eventually got them. Oh, yeah, I think they are REALLY concerned about the "consequences."

And here's a clue for Ambassador Wilson - Turkey DIDN'T offer it's support in the "first place." They didn't offer it in the second or third place, either. Stability and land unity in Iraq aren't really issues for Turkey - the Kurdish situation is.
