Erdogan Leaves for U.S. Visit |
2005-06-07 |
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan departed early Tuesday for a visit to the United States aimed at further repairing ties strained after Turkey refused to allow U.S. troops in during the Iraqi invasion. During Erdogan's planned meeting Wednesday with President Bush, the Turkish leader said he also would bring up the increasingly bloody fight against Iraqi-based Kurdish rebels in southeastern Turkey. "The relationship between Turkey and the United States is based ... on mutual respect and strategic partnership," Erdogan said before departing. "No doubt, Turkey is the insurance of welfare and stability in the region and it will continue to do its best to contribute to security in the region." |

#1 "No doubt, Turkey is the insurance of welfare and stability in the region... blah blah fucking blah..." Um, scuse me Mr Yippie, but I have doubts. I call bullshit, in fact. You're worthless - no worse than worthless. You've shafted your country beyond belief, for pipedreams, for Islamic whatever, for a pat on the head from Chriac's EU, for a pocketful of mumbles, for nothing. You aren't worth warm spit as an ally and you're too pathetic to be an enemy. Why don't you go ahead and shoot yourself? Nothing will happen as long as you're around. When you're gone, we take a look at whomever fills the vacuum to see if he has the sense and gumption you lack. |
