The Turkish Parliament vote: 263 for; 251 against; 19 abstaining. CNN first reports that's the "go-ahead" for US troops to use Turk bases for northern front...then, recants 30 minutes later when it is "learned" that an absolute majority (267+1 is how they define it) is required for approval. The opposition leaves the building, thus putting the kibosh on an attempted re-vote. More uncertainty...just what the market needs.
