Reader comment on item: On Second Thought … Maybe that Israeli Apology to Turkey was a Good Idea
Submitted by Scoot Brown (Czech Republic), Apr 18, 2013 at 16:59
Waste of time and energy trying to please Mr. Obama with this " apology ". Mr. Obama is a " community activist " and a college boy. His experience with the foreign policies are just as disastrous as at home. He will go down in history beside Jimmy Carter as the " failed funny couple " What a waste of time .
