Well, it is pretty funny. Besides, the Turks won't be building fighters or bombers superior to what the U.S. is selling anytime in the next decade or ten.

Oh, that's the spirit that we need. We can't build fighter bombers ever. Why even try?
No one can tell us what to do. We'll build fighter bombers, even if they're not superior in terms of technology, they'll be ours at the very least.

Now you're cooking with Sterno!

This is quite untrue.

The U.S. support of this coup was acknowledged by the CIA Ankara station chief Paul Henze. After the government was overthrown, Henze cabled Washington, saying, "our boys [in Ankara] did it."[30][31] This has created the impression that the USA stood behind the coup. Henze denied this during a June 2003 interview on CNN Türk's Manşet, but two days later Birand presented an interview with Henze recorded in 1997 in which he basically confirmed Mehmet Ali Birand's story.[32][33] The US State Department itself announced the coup during the night between 11 and 12 September: the military had phoned the US embassy in Ankara to alert them of the coup an hour in advance.[8]
