Just another report on the increasing Islamization of Turkey:
The women wore veils. The men donned green Hamas headbands with swirling Arabic script. They gathered by the thousands in a sunny, working-class plaza in Istanbul, bellowing: “Damn Israel!”
The Saturday demonstration seemed incongruous with the image Turkey has long had in the West as a secular friend of Israel and the United States…
The image has been false for about a decade now – and should have been abundantly clear when Turkey, our alleged NATO ally, refused permission for a US division to transit Turkey to Iraq in 2003. The plain fact of the matter is that Turkey is turning its face firmly from the West and increasingly embracing the worst aspects of Islamo-fascism. It is time to live in reality and understand that Turkey is no friend of the United States.
As a NATO ally, Turkey is supposed to be on our side in case of military conflict. Can anyone name a nation we might wind up at war with where Turkey would be even benevolently neutral, let alone a good ally? Having the Turks in NATO just allows a potential enemy to obtain knowledge of our weapons and military organization. It is time to close the door.
We can, at any event, find better allies among the Bulgarians, Kurds, Georgians and others in the area. It is better that we don’t have peace time military alliances – but if we are to have them, lets have them with friends, not enemies. As Turkey buddies up to Iran, Hamas and other American enemies, it is time to act accordingly and lay our plans with at least the contingency of armed conflict with the Turks. They have made their choice, and we must make ours
