Turkey

This is the way I am beginning to see it too. Otherwise why refuse a very large amount of *cough* loans to allow the ground troops pass through, but then allow planes to fly bombing missions from turkey

It can not be for moral grounds, and being on the verge of bankruptcy it desperately needs the money so the only alternative as I see it is the greater amount of money available from permanently taking control of the northern oilfields.

I forsee this being a huge problem very soon
