Obama has been best buds with this Islamic government for the past four plus years-meetings and phone calls etc.
But Prime Minister Erdogan favors the rebels (Islamists) in Syria.
Vladimir Putin does not favor them and is angry about the whole situation.
Maybe he is pulling some strings here to mess up Erdogan and Obama since they seem to be trying to push Assad out in Syria.
Or maybe Putin and Obama are working together. Obama - a Muslim when it suits him but a Communist at heart.
Which way Obama?
