No, I'm suggesting that we were asking Turkey to say that so we could stage out of there.

I understand now. But I think that's silly. There were a lot of statements made for public consumption. If we needed Turkey to take that position, it didn't need to broadcast to the American public. The Administration was hyping the threat to build public support. They may even have feared that Iraq had more than the intel people thought, and gambled that they would be shown right.
