WTF Is It Now?!?

Saturday morning: sitting in front of the computer, swilling coffee, watching a herd of deer frolicking in the front yard. The dogs have been banished since they rolled in something stinky last night, the cats are sleeping next to the fishtank, and the parrot is watching fishing shows on tv with the BF.

Usually in the movies now would be the time when all hell breaks loose.




Harsh Bush Letter Strains US-Turkish Relations
Diplomacy is for weenies!
A harsh letter to Turkey from our humble statesman the unelected pReznit Pinhead relaying the message, "We cannot take it anymore. Speed up the process of the note. Make your airspace available," received an equally harsh reaction from Ankara that in essence said, "The formation of the new government will be delayed, and the United Nations' decision will be awaited."

For the first time since they began, negotiations between the United States and Turkey regarding the Iraq operation are straining relations. The crisis triggered by Bush's letter to Justice and Development Party leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan took a more serious turn with a phone call from Erdogan to U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney. While Bush was sending an ultimatum, Cheney was reiterating the president's message, saying, "We cannot afford to wait for the second note."

Due to heightened tensions between the parties, Erdogan held a surprise one-hour meeting with Prime Minister Abdullah Gul and Chief of General Staff Gen. Hilmi Ozkok to discuss a strategy for dealing with the U.S. attitude. - link.
