Yes. The French made us fly around their country on our way to Libya, thereby increasing flight times by several hours.

If I recall correctly, the French embassy in Tripoli was accidentally bombed during that attack.

According to some, President Reagan provided the following explanation when asked why it had happened: “Well, the boys were tired...”

No surprise there since Turkey is an Isis/Isil supporter and stands to be the major player in the Caliphate.

Muslim Leaders are proving they can control Obama...he hasn't figured that out yet...he 'believes' he's their man of the hour...they are showing him otherwise that they will do what they want, as they want, with or without him.

He simply has no clout but the revenues, armor and using our military to train 'their' armies for them.....and Obama does that remarkably well to their delight!

Wasn’t it OBL (burn in hell) who said that people would prefer the “strong horse”?

Obama has been acting like a “weak ass”.

Why is he surprised to find that his BFF Erdogan is dissing him?

Nice burkas. Are those standard issue rags or are these guys flag officers just wearing their pajamas to work?

Probably "union" made duds.

But,...but the enlightened and world diplomacy expert Dana Perino predicted yesterday that Turkey would be the first to come to the aid of Obama’s strategery. I’m just shocked! Gobsmacked!

Simple question: Would you trust Obama’s word or support for anything??? Nine out of ten Americans would immediately say “No Way”!!! And....no foriegn nation or leader would fall for Obama’s lies!!! There is no coalition...there will never be a “real” one until Obama & Biden are forced by the Dempcrat Party to resign!!! End of story!!!

NATO may be dead but this "war" isn't killing it.

NATO is a defense pact. To wit: an attack on one is an attack on all. To the best of my knowledge, no NATO signatory has been attacked by ISIS/ISIL/IS.

Moreover there is strong evidence that ISIS/ISIL/IS has been equipped and perhaps even trained by two NATO member states: the USA and Turkey. Now you want the rest of NATO to spill blood to kill a monster created by these two NATO members?

You wonder why US allies are hesitating?

The king of failure cannot even get a fellow NATO nation to cooperate with his failure of a plan.

Fight ISIS and it helps the Kurds. Anyone really expect Turkey to do anything that would help the Kurds?

Alert!..... NEED TO KNOW!

Press Secretary Josh Earnest announced today:

Obama will be visiting a Washington D.C. area ‘Mosque on the ‘morning’ of September 11th’...........The name and location of the Mosque are currently being withheld for security reasons.

Following Obama will ‘hosting several influential Muslim leaders’... at the White House luncheon.

then this...makes your blood boil:

Ahmed Mohamed Usman, “founder of the group One Nation Under Allah”....will be attending the luncheon and had nothing but praise for President Obama’s decision. In an interview this afternoon on NPR, Usman had the following to say:

“If America has Christian prayer breakfasts, so must it have breakfasts praying to Mecca..... If America is to put the 10 Commandments on display, so must she display the Quran. ....To be welcomed into the highest office of America on the anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11 is an honor and is a step for Muslims in America to begin to establish our rights....... President Obama is truly ‘opening the door’ for Muslims in America.”

Jewish Museum of Belgium shooting

On 24 May 2014, a gunman opened fire at the Jewish Museum of Belgium in Brussels, Belgium, killing four people.

On 30 May, Mehdi Nemmouche, a 29-year-old French national of Algerian origin, was arrested at Marseilles in connection with the shooting. He is believed to have spent over a year in Syria and had links with radical Islamists and appears to have recorded a video bearing the flag of the rebel group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

I’m going to point this out again, Turkey wouldn’t let the 4th ID go into Northern Iraq when the War started in 03. I’m shocked.
