What you see on the news from Turkey are protesters shouting anti-American and anti-Israel slogans, but what most are not seeing are the convoys headed towards the Incirlik base where U.S. Air Force is stationed to stage a massive rally against the U.S.:
A convoy of massive numbers of vehicles headed towards Incirlik where US Air Force are stationed. It is not only demonstrators who are moving toward Incirlik Air Base in the southern Turkish city of Adana for anti-U.S. protests, but images circulating on Twitter on July 28 show convoys of Muslim Brotherhood supporters heading that way. The base houses thousands of U.S. and NATO military personnel and has served an important role in the U.S.-led coalitions aerial operations against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria.
Anti-U.S. sentiment has risen in Turkey following the July 15 failed coup. Many in the country have suggested the United States played a role in the attempted coup and have demanded the air base be closed. Turkeys government blames Fethullah Gulen, a powerful religious and opposition leader currently living in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania, for the attempted putsch. Ankara has demanded his extradition.
The picture I posted is the picture of Iraqi convoys that were attacked by US fighter jets as the Iraqi were fleeing Kuwait in 1991 (”Highway of Death” picture).
Yep. I’ve seen that and its variations. THAT is what war should bring. THAT is the image that should be burned into the memory of every tinhorn tyrant wannabe who challenges the might of the United States.
Instead, our image is of a quisling commander-in-chief bowing and scraping to robe-clad bullies.
One inspires fear and respect. The other inspires mockery and nausea.
