President Obama on Wednesday condemned the terrorist attack that killed dozens in Turkey, offering his condolences to families of victims in a statement.
Here’s the full statement:
The United States strongly condemns this morning's outrageous terrorist attack against Turkey, one of our closest and strongest allies. On behalf of the American people, I offer my condolences to the families of the victims and to all of the Turkish people.
The United States will continue our strong cooperation with the Turkish government as it works to defeat the terrorist threat from the PKK and to bring peace, stability and prosperity to all the people of southeast Turkey. The people of Turkey,

But Turkish attacks in Kurdistan are apparently okay?
make me dizzy...
Obama supports Palestinian terrorists,
who want their own country.
(even has the State Department refuse to list Jeruselem as part of Israel, to appease PLO terrorists.)
Obama supports Libyan “rebels” who want to take over their own country.
(and even helps them, with USA bombs!)
Obama condemns Kurdish rebels, who want their own country.
(even when they have endured REAL “ethnic cleansing”, etc., from Iraq, Turkey, etc.,
unlike the false claims of the Palestinians against Israel.)
That's what I hear.
The Turks are now retaliating against Kurdish bases in Iraq.
My question is this...though it was a battle that hurt the Turks, why is it being characterized as "terror" by the President?
ooh no! violence against Turkish Muslims?...how awful...alligator tear drops all over the place.(sarc)
Bad idea. Just keep your mouth shut. They aren’t the best friends to have but the Kurds are our strongest allies in northern Iraq and it’s the most stable region of the country.
the Kurds have been discriminated against, and even killed, for decades.
the USA and NATO, went to great effort to protect civilians in Libya.
but Turkey destroys Kurdish villages, and kills innocent women and children, and Obama says nothing.
only when the Kurds fight back does Obama speak...
to condemn the Kurds !!!
the Kurds have a million times more the right to their own country, than the ficticious “Palestinians”, who were already given Jordan even after the Balfour agreement.
similar to how Turkey invaded, killed, raped, and destroyed in Cyprus.
(and where is the world’s outcry, that Cyprus be restored ?
Kosovo, Palestine, Libya... always the exreme Muslims are supported, even by the West... even against Christians.
Cypriots, Kurds? they are terrorists, and should be killed.)
...and that was back when they were a “moderate” secular Muslim country.
now, under Erdogan, they are rapidly becoming a full Islamic state, eager to help destroy Israel.
Obama is more intent on crushing any true attempt by people to realize liberty. He stood by while true liberty oriented marches, protests and then conflict went on in Iran against the Mullahs...and then helped the Muslim Brotherhood come to power in Egypt in a farce of a liberty oriented rebellion and did the same, except in that case activeluy helping, when rebels lead by an admitted former Al Quida leader and GITMO prisoner took power in Libya.
It is clear where Obama stands...and it is not surprising given his ideology.
“But Turkish attacks in Kurdistan are apparently okay?”
Makes one’s head spin. Obama chastised the Coptics in Egypt who were assaulted by the Muslims.
He’s an apologist for the bad behavior of anyone who can further his ideology.
Makes me wonder who Obama believes he is?
...so close to Thanksgiving, too.
If it was the PKK involved, I can’t blame the Turks for going after them.
The PKK (Kurdistan Worker’s Party) is a Marxist/Leninist terrorist organization. I have zero sympathy for them, and if they were indeed behind the attack earlier today, I hope the Turks wipe them out utterly, or at least make them pay an extraordinarily high price for their continued attacks.
PKK = Communist scum.
Yeah, but let a nuclear blast happen in America and Obama says we need to just absorb it without retaliation.
The enemy within.
I wonder how Obama is going to come down on the Turkey upset about Crypus’s offshore oil find.
"Grenade-walking" part of "Gunwalker" scandal
Worse Than Gunwalker? State Dept. Allegedly Sold Guns to ZetasPhil Jordan, a former CIA operative and one-time leader of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center, claims that the Obama administration is running guns to the violent Zetas cartel through the direct commercial sale of military grade weapons:
Jordan, who served as director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center in 1995, said the Zetas have shipped large amounts of weapons purchased in the Dallas area through El Paso.

“They’ve found anti-aircraft weapons and hand grenades from the Vietnam War era,” Plumlee said. Other weapons found include grenade launchers, assault rifles, handguns and military gear including night-vision goggles and body armor.
Past actions dictate he would side with the Turkish muzzies.
