#6  Gaddafi gave Erdogan the 2010 Al-Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights.

Even after the rebellion started he refused to return the bribe prize.

In his acceptance speech in Tripoli on December 1 2010 Erdogan attacked western freedom of expression, and Israel.

#5  Turkey did not make NATO, thats what the kerfuffle is about. The idea was to seperate NATO from the Arab league so they both may take part on booming Libya. Turkey is the lead player on that side of the operation. Therefore, they will separate times, flights, and participation so all of the Arabs have a chance to throw their pointy slippers at Gadaffi.

#4  Turkey is part of NATO and the no-fly zone is a NATO operation. On top of that Turkey wants into the EU and a few of the larger members of the EU are involved in LIbya. Lastly, Turkey is a democracy with a heavy Islamic nutbag section to their government and although nobody knows much about the rebels they are most likely either democrats or heavily Islamic nutbags.

I know its fun to insinuate that Turkey might go for Khadaffi but they have zero reason to do so that I can tell, except if they think being the Western version of North Korea is a good idea.
