Patriotism (war time illness) made you blind Larry? Or is this somebody else
messaging here using Larry's name?
Everybody knows which country supported most both Saddam (against Iran) and
Bin Laden (against Russians).

Turkish voting of "no to US deployment" is mostly based on internal politics
(the governing party AKP has a voting base mostly consisting of
fundelmatalists, which are against US, by definition), the famous Turkish
unability to organize, and your diplomats' tedious patronizing style (yes,
we have some patriotizm, too).
