No surprise

This is no surprise. Turkey actively helped Iraq prior the the U.S. invaison as they withdrew allowing us to deploy forces only a few days prior to opening of hostilities. The move by Turkey did not alter the outcome, although it did complicate things and did change how quickly the U.S. was able to 'occupy' Iraq. Part of the invasion forces were unable to participate. This was a material help to the enemy.

Typically, you find out who your real friends are when the fists begin to fly. Turkey will talk a good talk, but when and if bullets fly, we can expect Turkey to side with Islamic ideology. Political Islam is THE ENEMY. If you do not understand what I mean by this statement, please research Islam in the context of political theory and Islamic law.
