Sounds to me like they are new friends now. Read this. And there is a lot more like this on Google.

BTW Skywalker, I too never found a Foxnews article in print on the Iraqi connection. What I heard sunday night was a TV reporter quoting sources in the French, British and American Intelligence services, as saying that they had little doubt the Ricin came from Iraq.

Skunk, NATO only controls the air, not the ground. Apparently the Kurds and the Turks control most of Northern Iraq. The Kurds are apparently divided in to three camps, two of which are anti Saddam and the third which is friendly to Saddam and Al Quida. Read the Link above. Also from what I have read the Turks have about 12,000 men in Iraq. they hope to grab the northern oil fields one day and also keep their thumb on the Kurds. The turks don't want the Kurds to become independent, because they are afraid that the Kurd who live in Turkey will rebel.
