Why now?
Turkey could close Incirlik Air Base, through which 70 percent of air cargo for U.S. troops in Iraq passes, and refuse to cooperate with Washington on the war.
Maybe that's the point. It would be one way, maybe the only way, to get Bush to ratchet down the war in Iraq. Without the aid and cooperation of Turkey, the war becomes much more difficult, if not impossible.
It's a twofer.
