Mike Pence warns Turkey: America will stand with Israel

[Agorism]

YouTube - Pence: Turkey Needs To Decide

What Barack Obama clearly is not learning is that his campaign to put “daylight” between the United States and Israel is creating serious strategic risks: it is an invitation to the region’s dictators and terrorists to test just how far they can needle and provoke Israel, knowing that when they push too far — such as we saw last week with the flotilla — there will be no consequences from an American president who has proved himself virtually incapable of speaking with moral clarity about the enemies of Israel.

Over the past few months, the Turkish prime minister has staged an Islamist coming-out party, with a display of thuggish bravado matched in the region only by Nasrallah and Ahmadinejad — and Obama says nothing. Syria is supplying ever more dangerous weapons to Hezbollah, and Obama not only says nothing but is also trying to reward Syria by returning the U.S. ambassador to Damascus. Iran conspires in ever more creative ways to extend its power across the Middle East and into the Mediterranean, and Obama does nothing. He appears not even to realize that these forces are escalating their war of words and deeds against Israel as a way of humiliating America and Barack Obama himself by showing the world that a great power is doing nothing as one of its closest allies is ambushed by terrorists and pummeled by the “international community.” What we lack in military and economic strength, the Islamists are saying, we more than make up for in audacity, willpower, and solidarity with our allies. And they are right.

I wonder if Mike Pence is willing to stand up to NATO?

So just break our promise to them and NATO?

Curse those entangling alliances and screw you Pence!

i hate neocons... i really do.

"cherished" ally? ...more like a blood-sucking parasitic leech that needs to be castigated and thrown off america's teat once and for all.

does this asshole have any idea how *important* our alliance with turkey has been so far? Turkey has troops in Afghanistan helping the U.S. army; Turkey has allowed us to use their military bases for our insane wars.

this asshole would cut an alliance with someone who has actually helped us and been a real ally to us to side with a parasite that does nothing else but suck the blood and treasure out of America.

this asshole is a TRAITOR!
