While we're waiting to see what happens to the second Gaza "Love Boat," a couple friends posted some comments about Turkey:


Carter-Iran 1979
Obama-Turkey 2011

Scary stuff. I do agree that the U.S. did not lose Turkey -- the Turks lost Turkey and they are going to pay for it eventually. Until then, they will cherish delusions of the rise of a new Ottoman Empire AKA the Caliphate (the latter will be an unspoken ideal with the core Islamists).
I think it is safe to say the Turkey will NEVER get in the EU now (not that I can see anyone wanting to!)

The issue isn't who lost Turkey, as you say, Turkey lost itself. It is acknowledging that Turkey is lost and figuring out what to do next.
