#1 Yippie has rolled the dice and crapped out. None of his high-rolling gambles will pay off and Turkey has lost on every front. If they had the sense and grit they displayed 20 or 30 years ago, they'd hang his entire Islamic Govt and wake up: they've fooled themselves regards the EU, embraced a fatal disease, and poisoned their future.

#2 When's the next election?

We'll forgive the Germans if they kick out Schroeder and return the CDU. We'd do the same for Turkey unless this guy gets to keep things screwed up even worse for 3 or more years.

#3 Whatever the diagnosis, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is going through a rough patch in his career, at war with the media and his party hit by defections.

#4 I'll bet he wishes he'd let the 4th ID roll on through into northern Iraq. Things have been on a steady downhill slide since then. Erdogan has been painfully discovering that it would have been better to have chosen George Bush as a friend and ally than Jaques Chirac.
