SibelGate: US officials secretly meeting Turkey now (Mukasey)

Edited on Tue Feb-19-08 03:06 PM by calipendence

Hmm... With the invasion of Pakistan happening now too, something big is brewing I think. I think they sense that Sibel's story is just that close to breaking out in the media. They also probably also saw that their stranglehold over the Turkish military might be threatened with the recent purge highlighted by Chris Deliso a week ago or so.

Someone is speculating that they are now about to be giving the Turks the nuclear technology they've been asking for. Note that a few weeks ago, Bush was quietly asking for the legitimacy of giving Turkey nuclear secrets.

Sibelgate: US officials visiting Turkey NOW

http://www.opednews.com

Here we have a series of high-level visits betwen Turkish and US military forces before us this week. Very hard to detect just reading the mainstream news.

You and I (wink. wink) know what Sibel has warned us all about - look out! they're giving Turkey more nuclear technology!

And yesterday we are told that the mucketys are in Ankara in very quietways. Some interesting names crop up and this despite the fact that the Sibel Edmonds story has at long last arrived in the mainstream press, to wit, the Dallas Morning News.

People are left to speculate about the real reason for this highly unusual "social calls' - and based on current MSM reading, the reader just might infer that it's about Kurdistan and Turkey's war on the Kurds (for the highly informed reader), it's about who poor little ole Turkey is being upset by Kurds' insurgency OR maybe it's to talk about the new Iran oil bourse.

Me, I think that the Big Gunz in the Corporatocracy are out to insure that they keep up their uranium/nuclear connections. Hey! That's been known to happen.

An article referenced here from the Morningside Post notes how many of these various Bushco visits now are unreported:

High Level Visits to Turkey Go Unreported

By Courtney Doggart
MIA 2009

All the news that's fit to print doesn't seem to include recent and planned visits to Turkey by top U.S. administration and military officials. That's a bit odd, don't you think? The laundry list of visits includes General James Cartwright, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (the 2nd highest ranking military office in the U.S. Armed Forces); Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense; Vice President Dick Cheney; US Attorney General Michael Mukasey; and Frank Urbancic, responsible for managing and overseeing all aspects of counterterrorism for the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism.

Though the only visits that have taken place as of yet are those between General Cartwright and Turkish General Ergin Saygun, the fact that Cartwright has made two such visits to Ankara in the past four months and that Saygun has come to Washington once indicates that something must be going on. While one might attribute it to the U.S. intelligence sharing with Turkey so that the Turkish military can bomb PKK camps in Northern Iraq, one should wonder whether the posse's planned visits means something more--either for Iraq or Iran.

Cheney's planned visit in March would be his first since 2002, when he was exploring the possibility of using Turkey for a northern access route to Iraq. Though it may seem that Bush's presidency is already over, let us remember that Bush and Cheney still have more than 11 months left in their administration. While the presidency is still up for grabs, what is clear is that the Bush-Cheney administration will have drastically reduced influence beginning in 2009, meaning that their clock is ticking and if there's something to get done, it's going to be done now. Perhaps the New York Times and other U.S. papers should pay less attention to the possible president-to-be and more time on the president-that-is. Read more here and here. And just for kicks, read about Cheney's last visit to Turkey in 2002 here.

...

Perhaps we can get some Turks over there to put signs up like the following with pics of Cheney and who else is visiting... For those who don't know Turkish, "Im piç" would be pronounced like "impeach", and translated means "Sign of bastard". You can see the meanings here... I think it would be VERY fitting to have a sign treatment for Cheney there like that!
