It's Not About Israel It's About Turkey

Pres. Obama was quick to condemn Israel, and even announce that he warned them not to overdo it with the flotilla. Of course he didn't warn the Turkish jihadists on the flotilla about anything, because he still believes that the U.S. is only at war with al-Qaida not Islam. I guess he believes that a hydra only has one head, and that even if it is severed, a hundred more won't sprout in its place. Sorry, but political supremacist world domination Sharia-pushing Islam isn't limited to al-Qaida. It's Turkey that once ran the entire Islamic world under the Ottoman caliphate, and declared war on the West and put it through hell until it was defeated militarily in Vienna in 1683, so anything modern Turkey does to re-Islamize is very scary and should be taken seriously by our president. Instead, he turns against poor surrounded outnumbered Israel when it defends itself against a provocation by Turkish jihadists backed by Hamas and al-Qaida.

Maybe he's too busy with BP, but I don't think so. It's his softness on Islam that is green-lighting stunts like the flotilla. What will it take, a new caliphate complete with nukes for Obama to admit that the U.S. is at war with ISLAM? Instead of trying to cut Israel loose, he should be cutting Turkey loose now.
