MSNBC ^

Posted on 03/07/2009 8:30:53 AM PST by boughtwithaprice

ANKARA, Turkey - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton confirmed Saturday that Turkey will be the Islamic nation that President Barack Obama visits to keep his pledge of going to the Muslim nation in his first 100 days.

Clinton said the visit would come "in the next month or so." It's likely to come at the end of Obama's trip to London, Germany, France and the Czech Republic for the G-20, NATO and US-European Union leader summits in late March and early April.

What a Frickin' Surprise!!!

Slap a true ally (Great Britain) in the face, but make sure you keep a promise to an eternally reluctant, stab-us-in-the-back, 3rd class, ass-backwards, fake "ally" who has done nothing for us since the fall of the Soviet Union......

YUP....gotta appease the Muslims!

Islamic Mole Alert!!

EXACTLY
Britain has always been there for us but no the phony goes to Turkey which is a muslim country

when on earth will people wake up and realise he is out to destroy this country.

I know not all the people will wake up but surely the majority has to.
The likes of a guy the other day who walked in the dentist room and saw fox news then stood there and said I am will wait outside because I am not watching fox.
Those kind of idiots will never wake up but I just hope many others do.

And yes I along with others did laugh at him to his face and say something.
He made a total arse of himself

I can't wait to see the demonstrations in the street, there.

Will it be protest or 12th iman worship?

Excellent move. All the Republican neo-cons succeeded in doing was to push the Turkish public east. We need closer ties and this is the way to do it.

“The war in Iraq was just one reason perception of the US plunged to a historic low in the predominantly Muslim nation, says the BBC’s Sarah Rainsford in Istanbul, and Mrs Clinton wants to reach out to that public.”
