Submitted by M. Tovey (United States), Jun 9, 2011 at 18:32

If ever there was a picture of a thousand words to describe the misdirected and severely misguided posture being held by the current American Administrative Executive office holder towards the Middle East, this one sends multiple megabytes of imagery beyond intelligent words that we will never be able to expunge. If there was an idea of what could be next resulting from Turkey's being excluded from NATO's sphere of influence, let this image be a warning. From a media standpoint, there is the politically operative comment that you can't buy the kind of endorsement this provides: yet one wonders just how much this is really going to cost America?
