Hey Turkey..."Come on in. Ol' Painless is waitin'"

The Israelis just called their bluff, now what does a dumb azzed big mouthed turk do?
This is pretty big.
Now waiting for that little twerp in NK to get mad because he is not in the headlines and try something else to regain the worlds attention.
This is quite serious, and if it plays out, its the Turkish PM trying his best to play the part of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
Wonder what they don’t understand, the S —or the K..
Prez BamBam is wishing that they (Isreal) would just fad away, sail off in the sunset.
Ruh roh!!! Ze Chit, it be hittin the fan.
I think he’s probably right. The best defense is a good offense, and I think Israel has got to move out to the front and make it clear that this stuff simply cannot happen. Turkey is a state, not a bunch of loony leftist “volunteers” or even a bunch of Pali would-be jihadis, and cannot be allowed to get away with this.
Let’s see if Turkey tries to get NATO involved. If Turkey does try this game, I wonder if Israel will intercept the Turkish vessel off the Gaza coast or in international waters. The IDF air forces would blow any piece of crap Turkish boat right out of the water.
Turkey is a NATO state.
Damn right.

Since Turkey is a member of NATO and we are not technically allied with Israel by any treaty, would Obama come to Turkey’s aid if asked?
I read a report that turkey is massing ships on the shore of Northern Cyprus. Ergodan may prove just how stupid he is.
Iran is orchestrating the rift in relations between Turkey and Israel.
heh-heh...Well Played Israel.
If the Turks do nothing and bitch away to the UN about Israel threatning war, Israel shrugs; "Who me? He was "Uzi Dayan, former deputy Chief of General Staff"; we didn't authorize that announcement. Sorry 'bout that.. ;-)
On the other hand, it all goes down? Israel announces "We TOLD you dumb bastards what we would do!!!". Why are you crying?!
Either way, Turkey just put themselves in a put up or shut up position.
A classic Turkey shoot!
Debka file has been talking about this for some weeks now and the situation is even uglier than this post lets on. Hint: Iran is getting into the game too.
I’m not sure if you guys know this but if you are on twitter you can follow official announcements from the IDF. They’ve been very active with tweets about how much aid Israel is sending into Gaza, etc. The account is @idfspokesperson. It’s been very enlightening.
