#1 "The first tranche of roughly $2.1 billion..."

Hopefully the downpayment is to get their attention and the balance will be offered as their cooperation warrants. That's my money, Murat. What have you done to deserve borrowing it, and how are you going to repay it?

#3 Actually, Turkey got hosed big time during Desert Storm. They joined the coalition which created increased border security problems and hordes of refugees. By then we were concerned with other matters, so the world stiffed them.

#4 Hey Tom--it sure is YOUR money, since the Bushies have reduced the taxes for the corporations and those making over 300K--now WE'RE paying the bill

#5 Keep dreaming Moore. The 'rich' in this country pay around 75%-90% of the total taxes in this country.

You make $60,000 dollars a year then you pay around $10,000-$15,000 in taxes. Bush gave a tac cut and reimbursment check to them.

While if you make $300,000 a year you pay around HALF that in taxes. Probably more in most cases. And the more you make, the more you pay.

Despite popular belief, most people in this country make a good living if they listened in school. The lower income families are usually illegals, legals without a education (Which they can recieve on our expense), and High-school drop-outs.

I'm not saying there aren't exceptions, but that's generally how it is.
