Obama "pulls a Hillary" on Erdogan

Our commander in chief, Barack Obama, met with Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday. This was their first meeting since the military coup this summer failed to throw Ankara's government out of power. Since the coup, relations between the two countries has been strained, to say the least.

Erdogan believes that the coup was orchestrated by exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen, now living in Pennsylvania, and he blames the United States for harboring the guy. 

Obama spoke at the G-20 summit in China and kissed up to the people of Turkey for resisting the coup attempt. He said that they "affirmed their commitment to democracy" and they are "the strength and brilliance of democratic institutions."coup, 

He also "pulled a Hillary" when he claimed that he was glad Erdogan was safe and able to participate in the G-20 summit. The exchange between to two so-called "leaders" was calmer and somewhat more amiable than the recent exchange Erdogan had with Vice President Joe "The Village Idiot" Biden overt he extradition demand made by Turkey for Gulen.

In an indirect, rather vague reference to Gulen, Obama said the Justice Department and U.S. security teams "will cooperate with Turkish authorities to determine how we can make sure that those who carried out these activities are brought to justice;" implying that he would sell Gulen 'down the river' if he could make it look justified to the public.

The 'lame duck' also made clear his "unequivocal condemnation of these actions" and that he personally spoke to Erdogan when the coup attempt first got underway in July. He called to offer U.S. support (LOL).

When Gulen's possible extradition was discussed several weeks ago, there was visible tension when Biden visited Turkey. On Sunday, Erdogan said that his government is gathering "post-coup evidence" to show that Gulen orchestrated the plot from the U.S. and will submit the details to U.S. authorities, adding that officials from both countries are working their collective tails off over the extradition request.

Rumor has it that the Obama team that is working with the Erdogan team is the same group of dedicated people that discovered a video had been responsible for the 2012 Benghazi attack that killed 4 Americans, one of whom was an ambassador named Chris Stevens.

Obama thanked the Turkish people and Erdogan in their quest to defeat ISIS and their humanitarian efforts in response to the years-long civil war in Syria.

Erdogan called on Obama to fight all terror groups and opposes our support of Kurdish fighters that they consider to be terrorists.

Obama mumbled that he is currently working diligently to fight two of the biggest terrorist groups back home in the U.S.: the police and the GOP.

Kid kills 51, injures 69 at a weddihg

Another suicide bombing at a Turkish wedding killed at least 51 people and wounded dozens more. The jihadist, in this case, was a boy between 12 and 14 years of age. ISIS has taken credit for the child's terrorist act.

The media claims that the terror attack had nothing to do with Islam, or says that it's a perversion of the religion of peace.

The media is as wrong as a Clinton voter.

Killing anyone considered to be an infidel is simply another part of Islam that practitioners choose to follow. And an infidel, the way ISIS sees it, is anyone who doesn't practice Islam as they do. is an infidel a therefore deserves to die if they refuse to convert.

Back to Turkey. 

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, spoke on a live TV address at Istanbul City Hall. He explained that there is "absolutely no difference" between ISIS, Kurdish rebels and the U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen's movement, calling them terrorists. Of the 69 wounded, Erdogan said that at least 17 were in critical condition.

The remains of the suicide vest was recovered at the site along with human smithereens of the boy.

"We stand with the people of Turkey as they defend their democracy in the face of all forms of terrorism [especially the one form that causes the most death and destruction: Islam]. We are in close touch with Turkish authorities," National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said. He called the attack "barbaric," doing his best "Captain Obvious" imitation.

Earlier in the week, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) was blamed for a string of bombings that killed at least 12 people. The conflict between the PKK and the government has been going on for about 30 years but there was a brief 2 1/2 year peace process that collapsed last year.

"This was a barbaric attack. It appears to be a suicide attack [the vest may have given it away]. All terror groups, the PKK, Daesh, the ) Gulen movement) are targeting Turkey. But Allah willing, we will overcome," Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek told NTV television.

The word "barbaric" comes from the [Muslim] pirates of the Barbary Coast. 

Police sealed off the site of the suicide attack and hundreds of local residents gathered near the site chanting: "Allah is great" which translates to "Allahu Akbar" in case you couldn't guess that.

It always seems to be about Islam.

Erdogan demands Gulen be extradicted

The military coup in Turkey has ended, the smoke has cleared, and the dead will be buried while the wounded get tended to.  And there were plenty of wounded.

Now comes time for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to take President Obama's lunch money and give him an atomic wedgie.

In a televised speech Saturday, Erdogan called upon the U.S. to extradite the Muslim cleric who's responsible for the coup in the first place. He is living in Pennsylvania and goes by the name Fethullah Gulen. 

Obama, who tends to lead from behind, just might give the guy up to face the music-less consequences of Erdogan's brand of punishment. It will not be a pretty sight.

Secretary of State John Hairplugs Kerry said the Obama administration would entertain an extradition request but Turkey would need to show proof of wrongdoing by Gulen. Then it'll be all: "here, take him and do to him what you will . . . he's all yours."

"We would invite the government of Turkey, as we always do, to present us with any legitimate evidence that withstands scrutiny," Kerry said in that monotoned voice with which he was endowed.  "And the United States will accept that and look at it and make judgments about it appropriately." 

Like they make appropriate judgments about terrorism.

Erdogan and Gulan had been political allies, and had a personal brouhaha in recent years over Erdogan's relentless crackdown on domestic dissent and the freedom of the media, which is now nonexistent.

Gulen left "Birdland" back in 1999 now living in exile in beautiful Pennsylvania and is an avid Steelers fan, or not. His place of residence is an Islamic retreat owned by Turkish-Americans. Their brand of Islam is considered "haram" to other Muslims who consider all forms of Islam that differ from their form of Islam to be haram, which is why ISIS kills people etc.

Anyway, this brand of Islam advocates democracy, education, science and interfaith dialogue. Most other forms of Islam (excluding the Sufis) advocate Sharia which goes against democracy, and education for women. Insofar as science is concerned, most Islamic teachings regarding science can be taught by 6th graders with a "B-" average. 

Interfaith dialogue? Don't get me started on interfaith dialogue. Most Islamic teachings, especially where the Al Fathiha is prayed at the beginning of each session and many times in-between, basically hate the Jews, dislike the Christians and loath Hindus and all other religions that are not "of the book," meaning Christian or Jewish. 

Gulen doesn't interact with the media, but his sermons can be found online.

"Turkey will not be run from a house in Pennsylvania," Erdogan said. "Turkey is not a country that can be bought or sold cheaply."

Gulen made a statement in which he condemned "in the strongest terms, the attempted military coup in Turkey" and rejected any responsibility for it.

The words Gulen used: "strongest possible terms," made John Kerry melt. 

Gulen said that "Government should be won through a process of free and fair elections, not force. As someone who suffered under multiple military coups during the past five decades, it is especially insulting to be accused of having any link to such an attempt. I categorically deny such accusations."

Gulen's words: "I categorically deny such accusations" made Hillary Clinton melt.

Even before the coup attempt, over 2,000 Gulenites had been arrested in Turkey on various charges since their split in 2013. And in March, authorities seized control of Zaman (pronounced with a French accent as "the man"), one of Turkey's largest papers and which was associated with Gulen.

Gulen preached a moderate form of Islam and has powerfully condemned jihadist terror attacks, so it makes sense that the Obama administration sees him as a threat and will likely hand him over unless we make enough noise to stop his administration from doing that.

But who am I kidding? Nothing was done about Hillary, so why think anything will keep Obama from doing whatever he wants to do?

Certainly not the FBI or Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Allowing Gulen's extradition goes against our real values, not the values Obama says are ours. He believes in democracy, freedom, and the Pittsburg Steelers while Erdogan, who was elected democratically, believes in Sharia. We should not stand quietly by if the administration decides to send him back to Turkey. 

Okay, maybe not the Steelers.

Erdogan calls for return of military asylum-seekers in Greece

Turkish officials are calling for Greece to return 8 "treacherous officers" who are seeking asylum there after a military coup attempt in Ankara Friday.

The failed attack by a small group of military officers ended with the deaths of at least 160 people and at least 1,000 injured.  

The officers flew to Greece seeking asylum and were identified as: two majors, one captain, and five privates, according to Anadolu Agency, a state-run news organization.

According to reports, the men were arrested when they illegally entered Greece, but they are currently analyzing the asylum demand by the eight military personnel. 

The Greek government said it will return a Turkish Blackhawk helicopter to Turkey "as soon as possible." Evidently, this is how the men made their escape from Turkey. 

The coup attempt was quashed by forces loyal to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after a night of air battles, explosions and gunfire. Thousands were arrested and Erdogan, who has been slowly taking more and more power away from the people, has vowed that those responsible "will pay a heavy price for their treason." This will likely mean torture and death because Erdogan is an Islamist who follows the precepts of Sharia.

Gulen and Erdogan

The soldiers behind the coup at the military headquarters in Ankara have been taken into custody. May God have mercy on them because knowing Erdogan, they will need it.

The Andolu Agency report stated that anti-terrorism police [an oxymoron if there ever was one] will conduct a "detailed search"  at the headquarters, obviously to look for evidence pertaining to coup participants. 

NTV television showed a colonel and other soldiers being taken into custody at he HQ. They were being searched by special forces police, hands behind their heads, and kneeling on the ground in the same fashion. Some of the lower-ranking soldiers claimed they didn't know that they were part of a coup, but video may have disproved that claim.

Military chief of staff Gen. Hulusi Akar has taken over command of the operation against the coup plotters, according to CNN-Turk.

When the coup attempt began late Friday, the military involved said it had seized control "to reinstall the constitutional order, democracy, human rights and freedoms, to ensure that the rule of law once again reigns in the country, for law and order to be reinstated."

Sadly, they lost in their attempt and will obviously pay for it with their blood.

A statement from the White House said President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry agreed that both sides "should support the democratically elected government of Turkey, show restraint and avoid any violence or bloodshed."

And they should know--Obama and Kerry have avoided getting involved with actually retaliating against Islamic jihad and refuse to discuss it.

Supposedly, the coup will have "no impact" on anti-ISIS missions flown out of Incirlik Airbase in southeastern Turkey, according to a senior Defense Department official. This may be true, but it's likely that the aftermath of the coup attempt will end up being bad for the United States.

The Judges and Prosecutors High Council, a governing body overseeing judges and prosecutors in Turkey, has dismissed 2,745 judges across the country in a likely attempt to make the country more Sharia-compliant and fall in line with Erdogan's leadership. They had an emergency meeting hours after the coup was quashed.

The meeting was called to discuss disciplinary measures against those suspected of having links to the movement led by U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen. The Turkish government believes the coup was carried out by a small group within the military loyal to Gulen's movement.

Useless NATO's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg issued a statement calling for "calm and restraint," taking his cue from Obama and Kerry. Stoltenberg called for respect for Turkey's democratic institution and its constitution, but that's why they had a coup in the first place, proving once more that NATO has its collective head up its nether regions.

Leaders of Turkey's current* religious communities released a joint statement condemning the coup attempt. The statement came from the Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities declaring "our great sorrow over the terrorist attacks that disturb the peace of our great nation and of the world."

Erdogan spoke at Ataturk Airport early Saturday and spoke to the crowd of loyal Islamobots: "They have pointed the people's guns against the people. The president whom 52 percent of the people brought to power, is in charge. This government brought to power by the people is in charge. They won't succeed as long as we stand against them by risking everything."

Of course, Erdogan risked nothing as he was away from the country on vacation at the taxpayer's expense.



*If you have an IQ above room temperature, you must have observed how Christians and especially, Jews, have been disappearing from Islamic theocracies over the years. This is not coincidence but the result of Islamic scripture that commands Muslims to conquer, convert the infidels to Islam, or make them pay a tax called "jizyya" if they refuse to convert, and kill them if they don't pay up. This is one of the basic tenets of the "religion of peace."
