1. Joining Forces Against Terrorists
Fortified Ancyra ,   Turkiye   (10.01.11)
The U.S. and Turkiye have always joined forces and collaborated against terrorism regardless of its origin. The Pkk are also put into terrorist organization list by the US as well as EU. Whereas, it is supporting and encouraging the Pkk which is a terrorist organization by calling them as ''rebels'' rather than terrorists the way ynet reports. Better to stick to principles rather than following short sighted politics. Regards.
2. NEW CHOPPERS FOR TURKEY
Adam ,   London   (10.01.11)
Hey, business is business folks !! Gotta get that deficit down.
3. Geez!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.01.11)
With any luck, the Turks will find a way for the Turkish Air Force to not destroy Turkish Navy destroyers. Well -- they did that once. As nearly as I can tell, they just may do it again. Turks killing Turks. Ineptitude is kind of forever. Certainly when it comes to Turkey. Yuk.
4. #1 And Hamas is a decent resistance organization
Raphael ,   Netanya   (10.01.11)
Think about the efficiency of israeli support to PKK prior to sending a new piss flottilla to Gaza and harming israeli offshore drillings.
5. Put a self destruct mechanism in before the sale
Jacob Erickson ,   Holon, Israel   (10.01.11)
Just in case
6. American idiots !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.01.11)
7. Not great news...
ex-frummie ,   johannesburg S.A.   (10.01.11)
If they attempt to use them against Israel!
8. Shameful!
Christian ,   Sweden   (10.01.11)
US bending over to Erdogan.
9. Fortified Ancyra
Professor Miao   (10.01.11)
Unfortunately Turkey is joining forcing WITH Hamas. Erdogan calls them 'rebels' rather than terrorists. I guess your prime minister likes 'rebels' who shoot guided missiles at Israeli school buses. Obama is an idiot to support the moustache with the big mouth.
10. Pure extortion. What did Erdogan promise in return?
Harry Wright ,   UK   (10.01.11)
11. Fortified Ancyra , Turkiye
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (10.01.11)
Hamas is recognized as a terrorist organization by US and most European countries. And yet your Turkiye Cumhuriyeti baskabagi Mr. Erdogan is considering them friends.
12. What else did you expect?
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (10.01.11)
Obama is again mixing into a situation to inflame it Libya, Syria, Egypt, everything he touches turns into a disaster, inclduing the the U.S. Economy & Unemployment
13. US Military Aid toTurkey
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif. USA   (10.01.11)
Turkey has been pursuing a genocide against the Kurds for years, and has invaded Iraq in the course of doing so, and the US not only is not condemning it, it is supporting it with military assistance. Israel should publicize what Turkey is doing, and point out that Israeli action against rocket attacks by Hamas are minimal compared to the attacks on the Kurds by Turkey.
14. Erdogan wants WW3 Obama wants to give more weapons to Turkey
zionist forever   (10.02.11)
Erdogan has sent warships to the Medtierranean with orders to fire on any Israeli ships enforcing the Gaza blockade. He has illegally changed the friend or foe codes on Turkeys F16s so Israeli jets would be considered hostile and it would allow Turkish pilots to fire on them. Turkey is in bed with Iran but the Obama wants to give them more American weapons to threaten to start a war with Israel. The US should be refusing all sales of American weapons and suspending Turkey from NATO until Erdogan stops acting like a madman who is looking to start WW3.
15. OBAMA PROVES IT AGAIN
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (10.02.11)
The biggest Turkey is Obama
16. Usa & Ertogan.
Mary ,   Greek Cyprus   (10.02.11)
There is an article of Mr Nicos Stelgias in the greek newspaper KATHIMERINI dated 26th Sept. 11 under the Name: [Behind the mooves of Turkey big calculations of USA are hiding] It would be very good if somebody of you had a translator to make this article in English, What I have understood is that Turkey is not acting here on her own. Maybe all her acts is part of a bigger game which is going to be shown in the very near future.
17. Making friends in high places.
Josh   (10.03.11)
Who would think things could turn this bad?
