odd quote from Chief of Turkish General Staff

[John Mage]

General Ozkok, yesterday, licking his chops over the prospect of the
US&UK begging him on bended knee to save them from disaster.

  ''Developments about the military action against Iraq have revealed
Turkey's geopolitical and strategic values and importance. Turkey is the
important and reliable country of the region. If everything gets out of
control one day, I hope that our friends will be left no choice but
asking Turkey to do what they are against today,'' he added.
