| From the Daily Caller but they could have bitten the hook at a satire site. If not, it's a good reason to make Islam illegal in all civilized countries. [DAILYCALLER] President B.O.s best friend in Turkey is surrounding himself with guards dressed like the 15th century Turkish soldiers who captured Byzantium, the Roman Empires last capital city. The garish display of imperial grandiosity was staged Jan. 12 by President Tayyip Erdogan, the recently re-elected president of Turkey, as he welcomed Arab strongman the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... to Turkeys new imperial palace. Erdogan descended a staircase toward cameras, while flanked by guards dressed in military costumes of the Turkish military, dating back to 1299. Erdogans display spotlighted the unbridgeable gap between his ethnic ambitions and Obamas early hopes of working with Turkey to suppress the various Islamic and ethnic wars in the Middle East. Back in January 2012, Obama described Erdogan as one of his best five friends among foreign leaders. The bonds of trust that Ive been able to forge with a whole range of leaders is precisely, or is a big part of, what has allowed us to execute effective diplomacy, Obama told Time magazine. |

| #5 is Erdogan throwing in with ISIS? That certainly appears to be a building narrative. SyrianFreePress “Ankara may deny helping ISIS, but the evidence for this is overwhelming. “As we have the longest border with Syria,” writes Orhan Kemal Cengiz, a Turkish newspaper columnist, “Turkey’s support was vital for the jihadists in getting in and out of the country.” Indeed, the ISIS strongholds not coincidentally cluster close to Turkey’s frontiers.” Reuters Location Kobani The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and a Kurdish official in the town, Idris Nassan, said the vehicle used in the dawn car bombing had come from Turkish territory. Rudaw “We know what ISIS’s agenda was, why they targeted Kurdistan and who sent them to Kurdistan,” said Ali Hussein, member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) leadership. “And certainly the time will come when the people of Kurdistan will learn about it too,” he said. |
