I am also an American Vet and I am here to tell you brother that Islamists Turkey will slit your throat from ear to ear if they get the chance. You better learn who your friends are.

"a reflection of the ongoing dispute between Israel and the Arab world" when in fact it is the opposite ...the article should read "a reflection of the ongoing dispute between the arab world and israel"

Lots of folks harp on Israel for getting some $3 Billion annually in military assistance from the US - ignoring that Egypt, the Palestinians, Jordan, Lebanon get even more. Pakistan and Afghanistan get plenty. But so does Turkey. Has anyone added up how much the US spends on its NATO investment there? On top of that, they got some $250 million recently in support for its "anti-terrorism" efforts.

Dear sir, may I humbly suggest that the world is better when everybody sticks with what he or she is qualified to do. Perhaps you would care to contribute to the betterment of the world by sticking to neutering cats and let knowledgeable people pass the judgement regarding middle east?!!

thats the reason he is friend of turkey he is not from any of those country :) i

ofc they are not in our hands, americans keep those weapons here for mainly russia they wont think second to retaliate if they or lets say iran nuke turkey the only country that is safe from nato nukes in turkey is israel but for this reason turkey has made nuclear agreement with pakistan in our times except from america no other country can use nukes and go without consequences so israels nuclears is as good as nothing you cant nuke anyone, what do you think world powers would do to you? what do you think russia would do? would they let arabs to use their nucs? maybe pakistan would nuke you these are just possibilities after pandoras box opened but one thing is clear without americas consent you cant use them if you do, dire consequences will be around for you for mass killings :)

Turkish, Egyptian, Tunesian Muslim Brotherhood (MB) know they have conquered or already re-conquered the Islamic world. With a "thank you very much to B. Obama". Maybe, our government followed Obama to make our excuses to Turkey in the hope that the American president gives us a free pass to handle the Iranian nuclear issue. But, I don't trust, I have never trusted and I will never trust that man.

There will be no peace in the Middle East until Yeshua HaMashiach returns to earth in the Revelation to establish His millennial kingdom. Only then will there ever be peace on earth for He is the Prince of Peace.
