Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says he’s “disillusioned” with the Obama administration for failing to address Middle Eastern refugees and extradite one of Erdogan’s political rivals.

“They failed to rise to the occasion and handle these issues seriously,” Erdogan said of the refugee problem during an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes.”

Turkey has taken in roughly 3 million refugees from Syria and elsewhere, twice the number that have fled to Europe. …

Easy solution .... support Trump and Putin regarding ISIS and then send the refugees home.

I think 99% of us would rather have Obama than Erdogan running out country. That power hungry monster in Turkey is a real danger to have in any alliance of ours. What Trump should do is tell that bozo to resign and allow for real freedom in Turkey.

Not a fan of the Iraq war, to say the least, but leaving behind 15k soldiers might have made all the carnage mean something 15 to 20 years down the line.

####ing obama ruined that.

One of my sons just moved home from there after 2 years work in Istanbul.

Says The rural parts of Turkey hate him like Obama here. About 50/50 population wise.

Erdogen is just trolling for what he can get for himself from Trump.

Been awhile since I used these but they really work well!

Reynolds Turkey Size Oven Bags, 2 ct

(put a few apple slices and a stick or two of butter inside the turkey. I like to coat the outside with a bit of mustard, Italian dressing, paprika, a small amount of sage and a bit of lemon juice, mixed together. Pop it into the bag, into the pan, into the oven and let ‘er rip. Or bake.)

Yes...

But then we don’t know what took place in back channels too.

It is interesting that Erdogan would express this opinion. I would think he would be fairly happy to have had the Islamic fool

You’re right.

Do they have jurisdiction over our soldiers if a crime is committed? Germany, Japan, etc.?

Wasn’t that obama’s excuse to pull the men out?

God has he been a disaster.
