When you don't know, have a bowl of ice cream....which side are we routing for here?
Uh...OK, I don't know which one that might be. Neither?
That’s a good one to ask.....
I see Erdogan as strongly anti-Israel as my talking points note and he is also an Islamist in slow motion.
A Brookings Institution wonk who is a Turk says there is no alternative to Erdogan, who is popular and would win an election if it were held today.
I don’t know if there is any side to root for here, but the talking points in Post #1 stand up as my “position” on the situation for now....
Neither side.
When you don't know, have a bowl of ice cream.Maybe I can help? Erdogan deserves a US bat right between the eyes. We owe him at least one good swat. Remember he’s the guy who, right after being elected, wouldn’t let us use his southern railroad to supply our troops in northern Irag. So Rumsfeld turned the ships around and sent them thru the Suez to get to Kuwait. That cost us a huge amount of fuel and time. Since Turkey is NATO Bush should have protested but he didn’t ( another one of my problems with Bush). He’s also the guy who was bent on busting the Israelis quarantine of Gaza. While it seems there is no particular group protesting in Turkey, just a bunch of PO’D people, I’m with anybody who can give Erdogan a bloody nose. He’s a certified Islamicdickhead.
Neither side. The turks are living in a self delusion a fantasy world they have created to avoid facing justice for the blood of 4 million Christians they slaughtered and have yet to deal with.
