The Grand Turk is not just demanding that Obama put a "If they kill Jews, they're not terrorists" exception clause into US policy, but he's taking his show on the road:
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stalked off the stage at the World Economic Forum, red-faced after verbally sparring with Israeli President Shimon Peres over the fighting in Gaza.Erdogan was angry after being cut off by a panel moderator after listening to an impassioned response by Peres to comments made earlier by the Turkish leader, in which the Israeli president defended the recent offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Erdogan declared to Peres: "You are killing people."
A finger-pointing Peres told Erdogan at Thursday's panel that he would have done the same if rockets had been falling on Istanbul.
Erdogan has presided over the murder of more Kurdish civilians in illegal Turkish invasions of sovereign Iraqi territory than Israel has killed legally in its defensive action in Gaza.
But then, since when have Turks considered Kurds to be people?
I'd like to see Erdogan hauled before the ICC for war crimes. Anybody else?
No. Really. Hold up your hands and show us the blood on them, dick.
Both Bushes should have armed the Kurds to the teeth and said "Let us know when we can build an embassy in Kirkuk for Kurdistan."
