Germany and France's move is definitely a bid for power in Europe.
Turkey is crucial to the US and Britain as it oversees the Middle East's oilfields. Turkey is the recipient of billions of dollars' of American arms, used to crush ongoing Turkish Kurd rebellions, the same people Saddam gassed with Western complicity.
Britain has also crushed the Kurds in the past. After WW1 Iraq was divided up between France and Britain, and when the Kurds rose up, Winston Churchill said "I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes."
