“ignore words, watch actions.” by cjm

This is advice I always try to live by. Only rarely is it proven wrong.

I have always thought Turkey has been playing us. Like all Muslim dogs, they wait to see who the stronger horse is, and they certainly do not see us as being the strong one. Plus, the unofficial ideology of the nation, the revived doctrine of jihad which has long slumbered, makes Turkey a natural enemy of any promoter of freedom and liberty.

I believe Turkey has an eye on Tehran, and the Iranians have been telling the Turks that the Americans are not going to do shit about the Iranian nuclear weapons’ program. Certainly, up to this point, we have done nothing to disabuse all of that notion.
