Turkey can, so long as it is in NATO.

And Edogan has been skimming money and equipment off every shipment the US made to ISIS because it's all been funneled through him. Maybe next this Iz Lame Ick scumbag will announce that ISIS was selling oil just like it wasn't his son running that trade and Turkey allowing it.

What a lying piece of crap this bastard is and the US won't drop him and recommend he be kicked out of NATO. He's a major problem just waiting to happen and his "just" shipping immigrant hordes to Europe isn't anywhere near the sort of problem he could cause.

Erdogan has never been interested in fighting ISIS, and neither has Obama. Erdogan ‘s interest begins and ends at genocide against the Kurds; Obama is actively supporting ISIS against the legitimate Syrian government.

We need to get out... There’s nothing there for the U.S.

>>”Erdogan has never been interested in fighting ISIS, and neither has Obama. Erdogan ‘s interest begins and ends at genocide against the Kurds; Obama is actively supporting ISIS against the legitimate Syrian government.”<<

There are 2 main issues right now, imo:

1. Kurds and northern syria in particular. It really isn’t only Erdogan. The Turks, largely & generally, are very suspicious of the Kurds. It goes back to a very violent conflict & history between them. And, it isn’t just about PKK.

2. If Erdogan is removed or overthrown, by the US, and replaced with another Islamist (Gulen), while ISIS still exists and is ‘supported’, then we can safely assume that Erdogan is being scapegoated. Way I see it, at present, Erdogan is and has been a ‘middleman’ in ‘supporting’ ISIS, not the top-dog.

>>”There’s nothing there for the U.S.”<<

Superficially that’s true. But, the U.S. won’t shift out, because the view may well be that if the U.S. does, others (Russians, for example) will move in. So, it’s a battle for power & dominance in that (very strategic) region. Both the Kurds & Turkey (Erdogan too) are really pawns.

If he is right we need TREASON inquiry in the Senate! I never trust a moslem but you have to remember obama’s berth and raising. This is very distressing news.

How can this be stopped?

Elect a new President of the United States. That will do it. I expect Trump will handle this rather quickly.

From what I recall, it was an emissary of Turkey that was in Benghazi for a meeting right before Chris Stevens et al were murdered. They were involved with moving Libyan weapons to Syria way back then.

What? This is some kind of news? Conservatives have been saying this for the past 6 years. Oh, right, we’re dismissed as being whackos and the guy who’s trying to build a new Muslim nation is of course sane.

Praise God we will have a new Commander in Chief who believes in peace through strength, has sound judgment and is NOT a tool for the devil.

Treason on behalf of the Obama government. Plain and simple.

“(Obama not finished yet. Obama wants war. Clearly)”

The circumstantial evidence points to Obama’s CIA/Gulen organization murder of Russia’s Ambassador ..... (shades of the opening days of WWI)

BINGO......US was been supplying al Qaeda/ISIS with high tech weaponry through Turkey & Ambassador Stevens had a problem with it! Hillary had him murdered by proxy .....using ‘the good al Qaeda’ as compound security....

TREASON

I have to agree. From the Bush led war in Iraq to this, the American military has unknowingly been supporting actions they should have had no part in.

It goes back even further. To the days of the Taliban and Pakistan in Afghanistan.

There is no other peace but through strength.

There will always be very bad men.

We (men) good ones aren’t angels, but God doesn’t ask us to be. That job’s already taken :)
