(Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan accused Iran on Thursday of trying to dominate the Middle East and said its efforts have begun annoying Ankara, as well as Saudi Arabia and Gulf Arab countries.

Turkey earlier said it supports the Saudi-led military operation against Houthi rebels in Yemen and called on the militia group and its "foreign supporters" to abandon acts which threaten peace and security in the region.

"Iran is trying to dominate the region," said Erdogan, who is due to visit Tehran in early April. "Could this be allowed? This has begun annoying us, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries. This is really not tolerable and Iran has to see this," he added in a press conference.

All these countries will be helping Israel to bomb Iran. Only obama and the democrats will be opposed to this.

Research the Shiia Twelver sect. Their goal is to bring all of humanity to Paradise - the sooner the better.

It is kind of frightening to consider it all circumspect both the Christian and Islamic end times.

Even Ahmadinejad’s wild tirades a few years back about the evolution of Islam into their prophesied end times scenario...

And now considering the wild and incoherent foreign policy of Barack Hussein Obama, his closest advisor Jarrett and her ties to Iran, Barack’s own admission that political winds blowing against the muslim world...and his own foreign/religious upbringing in a madrasa until he 10.

It is hard not to conclude that 0bama is not the Islamic chaos maker. Uniting the Islamic world would be a feat worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, except the rest of us will pay with our very lives for it.

See? All it took was four solid years of being beaten across the face for Erdogan to catch on! :')

One problem is that Egypt is receiving quite a lot of aid from Russia, but is hosting the Arab meeting. Of course, they also get aid from the US. Also, remember they attacked Libyan terrorists who beheaded Egyptian Christian laborers in Libya. They may want to get rid of the bit players, but national and religious sentiment will also have a strong influence on alliances and antipathies.
