>It was an agreement in 1947. But you are correct. We did not give that money to Turkey in a completely Altruistic manner, so GIVE ALL THE MONEY BACK!

Hmmmm, that would probably not be any favourable for the attempt of keeping the turks out of northern iraq, neither it cooperation for any american interests in the middle east where turkeys services are needed.

BTW, that few billion won't mean a thing on your national debt anyways: It won't pay your rent.

>>Hmmmm, financial aid ?? Isn't this more of a deal to hire/bribe turkeys services for a gateway to the middle east? You have to ask yourself the question.. Is the USA playing santa by giving 6 billion for expecting nothing in return? You've got to be kidding....
