Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama spoke by telephone Tuesday with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to express condolences for the deaths and injuries from Israel's raid on a Turkish ship that was part of a flotilla hauling relief supplies to blockaded Gaza, the White House said.
"The president told Prime Minister Erdogan that the United States is working in close consultation with Israel to help achieve the release of the passengers, including those deceased and wounded, and the ships themselves," according to the White House statement. "He also affirmed the United States position in support of a credible, impartial and transparent investigation of the facts surrounding this tragedy."
A statement posted on the website of the Turkish prime minister's press office said that in the hour-long conversation, Erdogan called the Israeli attack "an unacceptable act that was illegal and against international practices."

A few years ago I was woken by the radio. For a minute or so, I thought I was hearing an ad for a new Tom Clancy novel. Then I realized it was the local news dude, and it was real. That was the morning of 9-11-2001.
Turkey calls this their 9/11
http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=177185
Did Turkey watch television the day of 9/11? Surely they must be confused with another date.
Does anyone know if he bended over again?
The stupid EU made this worm possible, the Turkish generals would have locked him up years ago, but EU demanded reforms to put civilians in charge. Now what?
If I were to make a guess, Mr 0bama is so totally anti-Israel because he was bankrolled as a young man by some prominent Muslims from the ME?
I would guess that because of this, he must openly oppose Israel or some of their people will pass along this relationship to the voting American Public and out him as a fellow Muslim.
Named Hussein. Less than a decade after 9/11. sad
The muzzies aren't as stupid as the majority of our "fellow citizens", they know Baraka Hussein is one of them, and know that they will never have an ally this high up in the US Government again.
The only thing that will stop them from making their move is insanely in your face violent reaction by the Israelis to any provocation, especially if the muzzie in chief is trying to handcuff them.
They Israelis aren't stupid either, they know who Baraka Hussein is as well.
I bet she doesn't get a beer summit.

If any young person from Israel happens to read this, I think I can speak for every freeper who ever lived in saying we are so sorry we have this sniveling nincompoop fool for a president, and we are your loyal ally, us, the American people, and since this pantload has recently been caught in attempting to throw an election in violation of our laws, there is still hope he can be impeached sometime soon.
Know you are not alone and we stand by you and like you love the freedom your country stands for.
