Can’t you just see it? Hillary Clinton prostrating herself in front of the Turkish Ambassador, trying to pretend that Rick Perry’s remarks about Turkey were something other than a statement of fact.
Turkish Ambassador Namik Tan
MEDIAITE Turkish Ambassador to the United States Namik Tan hit back at Texas Governor Rick Perry after his remarks that spurred an international incident during last night’s Republican debate where he called the country “ruled by what many would perceive to be Islamic terrorists” and suggested the country be kicked out of NATO and its foreign aid be eliminated.
“I am disappointed and concerned that Turkey and its time-tested ties of alliance, partnership and friendship with the United States became the object of misplaced and ill-advised criticism during last night’s Republican candidates’ debate,” Tan wrote in a statement. “Needless to say, the Turkey described in the debate simply does not exist.”
Turkish PM Erdogan's radical Islamist agenda
Tan affirmed Turkey’s commitment to democracy, calling the Texas Governor’s remarks “unfortunate” and hoping Republican candidates would begin treating the nation with “respect not disdain.”
In addition the Turkish ambassador’s statement, the State Department strongly condemned Perry’s remarks as well. “We absolutely and fundamentally disagree with that assertion,” declared State Department spokesman Mark Toner. “Rest assured that we believe that Turkey is a stalwart ally.
(I guess they’ve forgotten how Turkey refused to allow our planes to fly over its airspace or use their military air bases for the Iraq War. Or how they sponsored a boatload of terrorists who tried to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza)
