I am rather concerned then. Turkish news have mentioned this 'deal' twice and have quoted your prime minister as saying these things.
TURKISH NEWS SHOULD BE SUED for these outright lies!  Call Mr. Erdogan immediately Alpha! - I am sure you have his number on your phone - speed dial 1 
'The prime minister confirmed that the “real time intelligence sharing†has started with the United States after a deal he made with U.S. President George W. Bush on Nov. 5. “We have started to a joint work in a coherent way,†he added.
Top U.S. generals visited Ankara last week to discuss the technical details of the intelligence sharing mechanism. Military officials of the two countries agreed on establishing a joint intelligence center to accelerate the process '

You are confusing issues...I do not think Turks will reject any intelligence offered by USA...Whether or not such intelligence will be trusted is another matter.
I think Turks will basically operate on their own intelligence, if they operate at all.

Quoting Roswitha: Dance, Pandora, dance
Bush's invasion and occupation of Iraq opened a Pandora's box that only now starts to be seen for its true incendiary potential. Turkey threatening to strike Iraq to protect its national security is a carbon copy of Bush invading Iraq in 2003. Moreover, "Iraq" is actually no more; it's been smashed into three virtually independent statelets - exactly what Israel wanted in the first place.
Israel is so keen on an independent Iraqi Kurdistan because this is the way towards a new Kirkuk-Haifa oil pipeline (the old one was shut down in 1948) - which will pass though three American bases and cross US-friendly Jordan. A complicating factor is that at the same time Tel Aviv avidly coddles racist, Kurd-hating Turkish generals.
Turkey badly needs oil, as much as Israel. Turkey most of all cannot stand an independent Iraqi Kurdistan because it is focused on Mosul and Kirkuk's oil wealth. For any Turk with an Ottoman Empire memory, Mosul's oil fields, only 120km from the border, should belong to Turkey; after all they were stolen by the British Empire as it drew the artificial borders of Iraq in the early 1920s.

Very true. How many lives have been lost for oil? Those who stand and criticise find that their own countries are no better.

There used to be another great Google glitch. If you typed "miserable failure" into Google, it would come up with George Bush's biography
Unfortunately someone fixed it now

Tried again with just regular Google and got this:
french military victoriesYour search - french military victories - did not match any documents. Suggestions:. - Make sure all words are spelled correctly. - Try different keywords. ...

I don't believe there was any confusion. The Turkish government has said that the shared intelligence will speed up the process.
