I wish the EU would just go away. The last thing we need is more countries to join this bunch of candy asses! Although I also would like to see Turkey in the EU and not the Arab League if there had to be a choice between the two. Turkey is a back stabbing two faced country to the United States. They want our money but when it comes to us using a base there, the answer is NO. They are not unlike many countries in the world that will take US monetary support but won't support us on any of our policies. What I don't understand is how we the American people allow our tax dollars to be used to support countries like Turkey. I know it's a tit for tat kind of world when it comes to foreign relations, but give me a break. At what point do we close the wallet because we get nothing in return?
As far as Turkey "invading" Iraq, that is really old news. I seriously doubt the Turks ever really left Northern Iraq. The Kurds are a resilient people and they will crush the Turks at every turn. Why? Even though we openly support Turkey in a lot of ways, we also support the Kurds and their cause. Not only with money but also with weapons and intelligence.
We need to Split Irag into 4 states: Kurds, Shiite, Sunni & Christian. Since most of the country is segregated that way, I don't see it as an issue. Baghdad and the surrounding area could be their Washington D.C. and the oil revenue split evenly by population within the country of each group by percentage of population. Some day, maybe 100 years from now, they will all learn to play together. It only took us about 100 years to pull together as a nation. Expecting more from them then we did ourselves is unrealistic. Once the four states are established, pull the troops out. All of them, and then send Iraq a bill for our work there, although I am sure we will forgive it because that's the kind of liberal thinking we have running our country. Then as a gesture to the rest of the world, pull our military out of every country that does not support us. Build a larger Navy and deploy fleets off of the shores of those countries that are trouble spots PERMANENTLY. Making sure to have those "military exercises" on a daily basis.
