I remain somewhat unconvinced of this. Since when did Islamists need Turkey to rear their ugly heads? al Qaeda, the Taliban, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood...
Did any of those need Turkey?
Did ISIS/ISIL need Turkey?
At some point a grand design was bound to rear it’s ugly head, and it’s not apparent to me that Turkey caused all this.
What is apparent to me is that Obama sent in weapons and funding. These radical groups are problematic enough on a shoe-string, but give them operating cash and weapons...
Perhaps Obama can blame this on Bush also.
ypu should read Walid Shoebat’s book God’s War on Terror. He lays out a pretty clear case against Turkey.
