I’m so confused. I could have sworn we were still in the “diplomacy” stage. You don’t suppose this rush to war has anything to do with Bubble Boy’s low approval ratings, do you? Fool me twice, shame on me:
04/30/06 “YNetNews” — – Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul said Sunday that his country refused a request from the United States to attack Iran from its Air Force base in Incirlik, despite the U.S. offer of a nuclear reactor, according to a report in Al Biyan.
In an interview for the United Arab Emirates newspaper, Gul noted that America’s efforts to attack Iran are “imaginary†and that Turkey’s stance is “strategic†and refuses the use of its land for any belligerent activity against neighboring countries.
I don’t know Turkish, but I wonder if the word “imaginary” is either an incorrect translation or an imperfect use of English. I suspect what he meant to say was “delusional”.
They’re calling our stance on Iran and the possibility of us attacking them the “Double or Nothing” option.
