US plans to open three military bases in Turkey

[AGENDA21]

The United States will soon come up with a draft on creation of three military bases in Turkey, which will acquire the same legal status as the US-Turkish base Ingirlik dating the Cold War era, Turkish daily Gumhuriet said.

Two locations have been already set apart in the seaports of Iskenderun at the Mediterranean and Urla at the Aegean Sea. The third base will probably be situated in the seaport of Mordogan, near Izmir.

As it is the case with Ingirlik, the bases must include Turkish representatives. All issues linked to military facilities will be resolved with the local authorities.

2. Doesn't seem like the thing to say

when the government should be afraid of us.

Should be more like, "You're not getting my money, and I dare Rumsfeld to come and get it."

He'd probably send a hit squad for you, but...

3. How much was the bribe to Turkey?
