Turkey's Islamist president is getting frustrated at the difficulties his troops are encountering in Syria and he is equally frustrated that the US won't, at least openly, support his war on the Kurds. He's also "telegraphing" that he's in bed with Saudi Arabia and Qatar on his territorial ambitions in Syria.

Rocket Science 101:

ISIS opposes Assad
U.S. (Obama version) opposes Assad

Quiz tomorrow on U.S.-ISIS relationship.

It has been obvious from the start, pre-ISIS. Obama and McCain got it started as “moderate rebels” to take our duly sovereign government, and assassinate a head of state.

Erdogan said “it’s very clear” the US is supporting terror groups

Show us the evidence. But wait until Trump takes office or it will get buried.

But Erdogan also has ISIS blood money on his hands. Remember those ISIS oil trucks that went back and forth to Turkey.

Turkey is moving to align itself with Russia if I’m reading this right.

“Now they give support to terrorist groups including Daesh, YPG, PYD. It’s very clear. We have confirmed evidence, with pictures, photos and videos.”

Please pass that on to Julian Assange so the people of the world can see it without the Mainstream Media Fake News spin and coverup.

Something tells me that when Trump takes over in a month, those nukes in Turkey will be taken back.

Expect more chaos, and active ‘regime change’ attempts in Turkey.

After all, about 18 months ago, Putin also accused Erdogan of ‘supporting’ and ‘trading’ with ISIS.

My only caution is that if Gulen is used as an alternative by the US admin, it’d mean current US admin’s foreign policy is to replace Erdogan with another Islamist (Gulen), because they think Gulen will be more manageable.

Also, reality check: Erdogan’s Turkey is not and has not been the only govt, country or regime, who has ‘supported’ ISIS. A few others are equally guilty of that.

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.

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.

If true, this is another example why Trump should disband the CIA.

I am saddened by these outrageous accusations.

There was time in the not too distant past when I would have been able to confidently and vehemently reject them - to declare Erdogan a lying, propagandizing, jackass - confident that I was correct and that no American president would ever support islamic terrorists.

Unfortunately, the things I have witnessed over the last eight years require that I pause, and seriously consider the possibility that these outrageous accusations might be true.

That is why I am saddened by these outrageous accusations.
