Hagel going to Turkey as US tries to build ‘coalition of the willing’ against the Islamic State

Just what we need...a coalition of the willing featuring a terrorist-supporting Sultan who has his own goal of establishing his own caliphate.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

[onedoug]

islamist facilitator visits islamists.

Rings more like Treason.

[rockinqsranch]

Regardless of Turkey, would anyone anywhere join a “coalition of the willing” with this administration’s track record.

This guy Obama, and his entourage have pretty much screwed up everything they’ve touched.

‘coalition of the willing’

So ... Obama is sitting this one out?

[markomalley]

Oh, by the way, in case anybody thinks I am exaggerating about Erdoğan having visions of being a caliph, please note the following:

• Today's Zaman (Jan 2014): Does Erdoğan have caliphate ambitions?
• Walid Shoebat (Aug 2014): The Muslim Brotherhood Declares “Turkey Is The Capital Of The Islamic Caliphate”

Because Obama is seen as extremely weak, I doubt Hagel will have much success.

[PistolPaknMama]

Hagel??? Is this satire? If so, rofl.

[Diogenesis]

America is already LINKED to Hamas, N.Korea,
Qatar, Turkey, and Iran through Obama and Jarrett.

[hal ogen]

Send someone imminently qualified from his recent successes in the middle east: Skerry. Ha.

[Fungi]

Fools on parade.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Coalition of the willing? Does this include those who lead from behind?

[DoughtyOne]

There is a hypothesis out there that Turkey may be heavily involved with ISIS/ISIL. Now Hagel wants to put all his eggs in that basket.

Now some folks think this administration isn’t playing with a full deck. Me, I don’t exactly see it that way.

I have seen no evidence they know a deck (figuratively) is involved in these games.

[gov_bean_ counter]

This administration has ZERO credibility on matters either foreign or domestic.

[Nuc 1.1]

It is hard to imagine a more clueless bunch. Turkey has been co opted by islamists, sadly. A good people slowly being knifed in the back.

[inchworm]

when the Nazis committed mass atrocities like ISIS the world pursued them to the ends of the earth. And every now and then we hear of some 95 year old former SS guard getting apprehended and tried.

[Rome2000]

The only thing any country who throws in with tan suit can be sure of is that they will be stabbed in the back

USA has lost all credibility and respect

[Travis McGee]

[tumblindice]

The category is ‘Feckless Governments’. The Daily Double:

‘Neither is really serious about fighting terrorism. They just make noises.’

Alex, who is Saudi Arabia or the Obamanationites?

‘That is correct, tumblin! You win a cookie.’

[what's up]

fEvery country has to decide for themselves in accordance with the wishes of their people what they’re willing to do

Hmmmm. Bush didn't seem to have too much trouble cobbling together a coalition.

[Zenjitsuman]

“Turkey is a long-standing ally of the U.S., but has sometimes opposed American military operations in the Middle East, including the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Getting Ankara’s support for further action against the Islamic State would be a major benefit for the United States.

Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, operated by the U.S. Air Force, could be a launching pad for strikes against the militants or a base for conducting intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance flights in Syria.”

ONLY PROBLEM HERE IS TURKEY DIDN’T LET US USE ANY BASES WHEN WE ATTACKED IRAQ, THEY REFUSED.

ALSO, TURKEY AND QATAR BOTH ARE FUNDING TERRORISTS AND BOTH WANT THE DESTRUCTION OF USA ALLY ISRAEL

TURKEY SHOULD BE OUT OF NATO, AND QATAR SHOULD NOT BE FUNDING TERRORISTS LIKE HAMASS
