US needs to forget the worthless Middle East and protect its own borders.

ISIS is reportedly a Turkish puppet, so this makes sense.

Good ‘ole NATO member, turning against Atta Turk's founding principles, Turkey.

Turkey should be booted out of NATO but it's positioned so strategically and is so large that the West cannot afford to abandon her no matter how antisemitic and anti-West.

Sad actually.

If NATO cannot survive without the Turks, then NATO is doomed.

O turd did not worry about this one bit....he just wanted the “optics” to be correct. It is what he says and how he looks while saying it that is paramount. From there is sycophant enablers can build any case they want to promote his image.

Warmed over Turkey a-g-a-i-n?

Islamic TURKEY received $21 billion economic/military US foreign aid (orchestrated by Robert Wexler---a Fla Congressman (later forced out of office for lying abt his residency).

Wexler inveigled the US to launch a "cooperative effort to further Islamic Turkey's economic and military self- reliance," so the US stupidly loaned and granted Islamic Turkey more than $7 billion in economic aid and more than $14 billion in military assistance.

So much for "peace and cooperation." Islamic Turkey is now acquiring nuclear weapons and is an ISIS facilitator.

BACKSTORY Countless US assets---our embassies, ships and military bases are bombed----and rivers of blood---our military and diplo- personnel savaged, killed, maimed and tortured by fanatics in Mideast hellholes---and invariably the US gets the blame: "We weren't stern enough, we weren't strong enough"---and my personal favorite----"we didn't give them enough money," etc etc etc.

REALITY CHECK: let us count the ways America has been duped:

Neocons duped the US into pouring trillions into Islamic Afghanistan.....the most corrupt spot on the globe. The Bank of Kabul is engaged in massive fraud---the bank gets billions of US tax dollars deposited to run the war----if you are "a connected" Afghani you can withdraw billions with no silly responsibility to pay it back. Afghan Pres Karzhai was seen loading billions of US dollars to transport out of the country.

Who could forget Obama's "Arab Spring" when all of the terrorists would suddenly become sap-happy humanitarians, weaving daisy chains while frolicking around the May pole?

Since he duped America into electing him in 2008-12, Obama's been prostrate, apologizing for America-----on his knees, all puckered up, sucking up to America-hating countries. Obama and the Chicago crime kingpins he installed in the WH have done everything possible to undermine US ntl security --- and they did it with our tax dollars.

Obama entertained the Muslim Brotherhood in the WH---he gave the Muslim Brotherhood $2 billion tax dollars to finance its anti-American activities. It's entirely conceivable that the Mideast killings of Americans is being financed w/our tax dollars---thanks to the idiot in the WH. He and the Chicago crime bosses in the WH should be charged w/ un-American activities.

===========================================

Wexler was forced out of office for lying about his actual residency. In July 2008, it was revealed that then-Cong Robert Wexler claimed his mother-in-law's home in Delray Beach, Fla as his official residence (though he was listed on the House roll as "Dem-Boca Raton")...he actually lived in a Maryland suburb for most of the year.

Edward J. Lynch, a Republican running for Wexler's congressional seat, researched Wexler's living arrangements and took his argument to Fox News. "The house he lists on his voter registration is his in-laws' house, in a gated 55-and-older community," Lynch said. "Legally, he can't move back with children under 18."

After Wexler was confronted about the allegation, he stated that his mother-in-law does own the house in Delray Beach. But he also said he stays there when in Florida which, according to his office is, on average, about twice a month.

As a putative Florida resident, Wexler did not pay personal income tax, and his vehicles were also registered in that state, despite his near-permanent residency in Maryland and the Washington metropolitan area.

Wexler, born in 1961, did not meet the age requirements for his mother-in-law's senior community. Wexler later obtained a separate address within Palm Beach County.

BTW, Robert Wexler is now president of his own (gag) Mideast peace group---the Washington-based non-profit S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace (financed with limitless Congressional earmarks?).

Sounds like an EXCELLENT reason to close all our bases there, and stop all aid to Turkey.

Watch Qatar carefully, too. That's where the money is coming from.

Has dipstick put a carrier in the Med yet? And if a short round happens to land in the yard of a Turkish Embassy, “oh, well, stuff happens.”

This is a reason NATO is worthless. I am tired of worrying about collateral damage around Muzzies. They sure don’t give a rats behind about collateral damage with infidels. Time to bomb the crap out of them to reduce them in numbers.
