61. #3 - "what will happen is US, Israel, and Turkey hit Iran?"
William ,   Israel   (11.27.11)
Khamenei will hit his wife
62. #4 - Turkey still occupies Syrian land
William ,   Israel   (11.27.11)
There is a portion of Northern Syria that Turkey illegally occupies but due to politics and economic reasons, Syria hasn't made an issue of it. Rather, they just stole land from Lebanon (Shabaa Farms) and well, basically took the State over, to make themselves feel more masculine. If Turkey wants to be the king of the E. Med, they'll have a few people to contend with, like Greece, Israel, Lebanon, Egypt, Europe, NATO, etc. It's funny you think Israel is trying to dominate E. Med, by blocking Turkish terrorists trying to break a legal wartime blockade of Gaza (confirmed by a UN investigation) and by drilling in its own territorial waters for gas. Wasn't it Turkey who demanded access to gas fields SOUTH of Cyprus, and West of Israel, but no where near Turkey?
63. #9 - Then stop making deals with them
William ,   Israel   (11.27.11)
Isolation may be the best policy for Turkey. If you hate Americans, pull out of NATO. If you hate Arabs, pull out of the Arab League. If you hate Gazans, stop sending them terrorists to break the legal war-time blockade, and stop inviting terrorists to train in Turkey. If you hate Iranians, stop making economic deals with them and helping them in the UN. All that is left are spineless Europeans in a massive recession, Russians trying to rebuild the Empire, Chinese who are trying to build their own empire with cheap crap, and 3rd world countries. Not really a Prestigious club at Oxford.
64. #20 - that just goes without saying...
William ,   Israel   (11.27.11)
until Turkish businessmen living in Israel have to leave, or you suffer the next big earthquake and need immediate help.

Oh, Israel learned a very valuable lesson in 1973. Reinforced the fact that we cannot count on anyone but ourselves. I assure you that the issue has been redressed. Take Israel on at your peril. No more kind and gentle. No more worries about "collateral damage." Do, however, keep in mind that Israel has a very -- VERY -- large stock of nuclear weapons, and the means to deliver them, swiftly and effectively. I don't care who the robotic Ottoman Turks ruled. You people are a disaster in a real military field (unless you have the high ground, such as was the case in Galipoli), or when you attack innocent Greek civilians in Cyprus. Israel will turn Turkey into mincemeat. And don't look to NATO to save your bacon. Oh, wait! Iran is your "ally," isn't it? With an ally like that, you probably do not need an enemy. What you DO need is new -- smarter -- leadership. Erdogan is sliding down a greased pole leading to nowhere. And no, we are not going to apologize for the MAVI MARMARA. You need to apologize to us.
69. Rivkah,sorry,but you sound like a lunatic..

70. daze @ 58, asymmetrical warfare only works
leo ,   usa   (11.27.11)
when your opponent is hesitant (squeamish) and it only works on one's own territory.
71. iran
spookey ,   birmingham uk   (11.27.11)
here we go again bluff bluff , who gives a sh--t if you bomb turkey
72. It's getting more and more weird
Yael Schlichting ,   Raubling - Germany   (11.27.11)
I believe the best strategy for Israel is to develop two strategies. One to drive Iran nuts and the other to solve is surrounding problems, once it's getting hot and Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria, ..... are turning loose. Iran attacking Turkey would cause a full blown NATO conflict. Nothing to fix in Iran for Israel then. NATO would fix it. Israel's job would be to fix the conflicts in its surrounding territories, create clear borders and substantial buffer zones, which will hold for ever and solve the Arab Israeli conflict once and for all.
73. Just make certain you remain seated on that fence, #9

75. Nr 49 and 68.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.27.11)
Nr 49. Right !. Nr 68- Turkey will soon embark on Military adventures, not only in the Mideast but also in the Balkans, successfull to begin with but looser in the end. Turkey will be crippled and forced to submit to Saudiuarabia as a Serbian Prophet has fortold Turkey will change its capital to Mecka. Arn.Sweden.

80. To: No. 43
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.27.11)
Okay. We'll let Turkey collapse in defeat, which is our natural inclination anyway. Turkey is the sick man of Europe. That hasn't changed. You'll fall like dominoes, idiot. Your presence in NATO is by name only. No one has given Turkey the key to the executive washroom. Without us you are dust. NATO will not take a single step to save you. Here's a news flash: Neither will we. Wow. Kurdistan is about to get a lot bigger!

anton ,   istanbul turkey   (11.27.11)
First of all it wasnt polite and mature thing to call me idiot :) we are just exchanging opinions thats why this forum is here i find many of your comments are out of touch and reality yet i never called you names or anyone for that matter :) anyway, let me tell you how important turkey is in NATO with its geopolitic location as well as years of conducting opretations throughout years from bosnia to afganistan its a first front against russia and gate to caucasia and middle east as you can see whatever happens happens in our vicinity if you are in israel you are too in that vicinity :) you may not accept it but thre are reasons turkey is in nato and she is unlike you said regarded as an important ally by usa and nato the term sick man of europe is long gone left in past century :) altou i think you are smart person or at leats a person who has a knowledge of world more than regular persons i would assume you would read more about turkey in international outlets thus know more, from your posts i see its all emotions thats talking :) you and many here need to be realistic and a bit of advice dont take any of your enemy lightly as you guys often do again thanks for your offer to help us but no thanks dont save us just save yourself ;) and i wish best luck to kurdistan too:)
