The Turks are not fools. They know that Obama is an incompetent pacifist idealoge. The best course is to avoid dealing with such a fool.

There was a coalition that in effect kicked Obama out last year. That was when he erased the red line

Any country that does not oppose ISIS has no business being in NATO.

Can you blame them? It’s not like he has a plan and they don’t want ISIS coming after them after he quits.

Pray America wakes

Seriously, what kind of "coalition" does he expect to forge?

Under Obama the US has screwed every single ally they have, including those in the anglosphere.

Does he expect Canada to participate, for example? Obama has spent 6 years delaying the Keystone pipeline. He has not lifted a finger to help build a new bridge over the Detroit River and Canada has been forced to finance the entire construction and, possibly the US customs plaza. And now he expects Harper to support his half measures in Iraq? How does this work?

Note to Obama: Foreign nations are not impressed by your aura.

Methinks NATO is doomed then but this new ISIS “Crusade” may actually be good for NATO who have been rudderless since 1989...
Turkey is now part of the Axis of Evil but nobody is saying it because the war on terror ended in November 2008.

W gave up Golf when we went to war.....maybe that’s why Obama doesn’t want to go to war.....he doesn’t want to give up his golf game!!! Could it be that simple?? Other than he doesn’t want his fellow anti-American Muslims killed.

Turkey: afraid to be warriors but willing to be saviors. No guts but all the glory.

Old Quill Head as I used to call creep Wexler. How do we get these provincial no-nothing congress people and then allow them to make the most important international decisions that will effect billions of people?!

They should have never been a part of NATO considering the constant tensions they have with fellow NATO members (specifically Greece) and Israel (who was our ally BBO).

Turkey is not our friend. They are turning more and more to fundamentalist Islam, and Erdogan is leading the way. They should be kicked out of NATO. Turkey has become the enemy within.

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

That won't happen till it is the masters that fear attack not the serfs.

Think of the amount of drug money the pols would loose, think of the number of little boy and girl sex toys they would not have.


More Gold machine guns and pistols - most were never fired, just held for collection value.

The money and valuables found in this one house alone, would be enough to pay for health insurance for every man woman and child in the U.S.A. for 12 years!

There are believed to be approximately 27 more of these houses in Mexico alone not to mention the ones in other countries who are enriching themselves in the drug trade.

Their money can buy the best politicians, the best cops, the best judges, whatever they need they just throw down stacks of cash and it is theirs! Well maybe, just maybe these pictures will start to shed some light on that. Editors note: Remember, when Olympia Snowe entered the Congress she had a net worth of under 500 thousand, now it is over 24 million. We are not accusing Olympia Snowe of taking bribes, but, that's a lot of increase in 12 years in the senate and she has been a solid open borders advocate and one who has opposed closing the borders.

But, we would be most interested in hearing her explain step by step her investment stategy for making that kind of money.

Not a problem. Just add Istambul to the Approved Targets List.

Agree, but those are all reasons they should be best buddies with Obama. Maybe they are getting like Iran - so bad they save us from ourselves because they won't play the PR game to help the self deluded.

“The medium-range air-to-air missiles to be outfitted to Turkey’s F-16 and F-35 fighter jets”

To be used against who? What enemies does Turkey have?
