Obama Too Nice To Expel Turkey
Reader comment on item: How Turkey Went Bad
Submitted by Dave (Canada), Oct 3, 2014 at 17:32
Obama may have taken an encouraging step in sending a lower level functionary as a signal of displeasure with Erdogan, but the needed reading of the riot act and excommunication from NATO are Reaganesque, not Obamanite actions. The Turks need to realize that America is not a sucker.
