Turkey should be kicked out of NATO

we don’t need Incilrik

This is what happens when the world senses a weak U.S. President

Are the people of America paying attention to any of this ?

Many of the people I know that voted for Obama don’t even follow the news any more . Their vote was a fire & forget .

damn them , damn them all . They don’t deserve the right .

Inasmuch as we are bound by our own Consitituion to establish no laws respecting any religion in particular, we might as well cozy up to Turkey, too.

“Ahmadinejad leaves for Turkey, China to discuss nuclear issue”

SNIPPET: “Before arriving in China, Ahmadinejad will visit Turkey and Tajikistan.”

Israel worried by new Turkey intelligence chief's defense of Iran - June 7, 2010 - The Israeli defense establishment - and especially the Mossad's foreign relations department, which maintains ties with Turkey's national intelligence organization (MIT ) - is concerned over the recent appointment of Hakan Fidan as head of that organization, and the implications of that appointment vis-a-vis Turkish relations with Israel and Iran. Ten days ago, Hakan Fidan, 42, a personal confidant of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, assumed the post of head of MIT, which combines the functions of the Mossad and Shin Bet security force. Israeli security sources believe last week's the Mavi Marmara incident reflects an intentional change in relations between Israel and Turkey - orchestrated by Erdogan, along with Fidan and Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu. ....Fidan served in the Turkish embassy in Australia, and last year he represented Ankara in the International Atomic Energy Agency, where he defended Iran's right to carry on with its nuclear program for "peaceful purposes." With Davutoglu, Fidan formulated last month's uranium transfer deal between Turkey, Brazil and Iran.
