Yesterday, the Turkish media reported, Turkey
agreed with the US on a deal involving the transfer of US-engineered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that could prove crucial in combating terrorism. The Predator drones, expected to be delivered in June 2012, are supposed to help the Turks combat terrorists, which in Ankaras narrow definition means the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) crossing into Turkey from the Iraq border.
The Predators, said Turkish defense minister İsmet Yilmaz, are UAVs with better qualities and features than the [Israeli-made] Herons. Ankara, the report explains, was disappointed by Israel's failure to return six Herons it had sent to the country for maintenance.

So let me get this right: Israel sold Turkey drones but refused to return some sent back to Israel for maintenance because of the nasty anti-Israel talk coming out of Ankara. And then 0bama went and sold Turkey Predator drones to spite Israel and to reward Turkey for their recent anti-Israel threats and diatribes. And of course these Predators are going to end up being examined by the Chinese, who will find them very interesting, I'm sure.
And this on top of 0bama's decision to place a sensitive NATO radar station in Turkey.
And people somehow have gotten the impression that 0bama is anti-Israel and works to undermine US security from the Oval Office. I wonder how anyone ever got that idea?
Really, how could anyone call this treason from within?

“Obama Sold Turkey Drones (Predators)”
Most likely this is an expose on his activities as a youth in Indonesia. Roadside poultry vendor. They were supposed to be harmless drones but it turned out he was selling violent predatory fowl.

What is a "Turkey Drone?" They can't reproduce and spend their lives foraging and bringing food back to the hive.

What is a "Turkey Drone?" Kind of like a liberal speech. They just drone on and on, never get to the point and put you to sleep.
