1. Erdogan barks like a wild dog...
Ivan ,   South Africa   (10.18.13)
but when confronted,will run away with his tail between his legs..
2. One only wonders, why is NATO - led by the US...!! - silent
Hermon Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.18.13)
about this act of betraying of an ally of the organization by Turkey? Indeed, this act that is simply not done in proper relationships among states, has clearly affected the ability of NATO in general and its member states, e.g. US, Britain, France, to gather information about Iran, and it may affect NATO's ability to gather information in the future about other matters in which Turkey is involved. Turkey, clearly, can't be trusted, and the US as the leader of the free world and that of NATO, ought to state it and act accordingly....!!
3. jip-jip erdogan has become desperate..
Beary White ,   Norway   (10.18.13)
..and desperate people do behave .irrational. His eyes will go red and he will have frothing at the mouth.....
4. I feel bad for the Turks
yona ,   Bev Hills   (10.18.13)
they cant do anything about this guy, turkey has a ton of press people in jail, and the turks know they are risking their life saying anything bad its a shame obama likes this guy
5. I notice Turkey did not deny
ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg S.A.   (10.18.13)
their disclosure to Iran, rather they seem upset that it was revealed to the world by the press. Very arrogant bunch running Turkey these days.
6. Is it possible he has secondaries from his cancer in brain
Alan ,   SA   (10.18.13)
He is a sick man with some form of cancer as I have read
7. Entrenched dictator destroyed democracy
(10.18.13)
Attaturk's legacy and the nation's future could not be removed other than by personal elimination, thereafter the bastions of corruption can be removed with less bloodshed. A Free Officer or unit has to take the initiative
8. 2 nether erdogan nor obama can be trusted
CJK   (10.18.13)
why is this story published now, a year after the event? who gave ignatius the information? what is the purpose of the leaker? we know that Obama wants to keep his relationship with iran. we also know that he wants a palestinian state. israel stands in his way.he cannot stand that Israel is independent and will not do as he says. when obama is angry, he punishes the alleged offender.
9. Israel should let Turkey stew in its own juices
CJK   (10.18.13)
israel shoulddo nothing with turkey. the only exception should be the retaliation against erdogan and his lunatic islamists. it needs to be done when least expected and it needs to be big.
10. israel, most untrustworthy nation
matteo dagostino ,   veglie italy   (10.18.13)
netanyahu is only interested in protecting and shielding and covering up israeli injustices. israeli injustices and he has difficulty in copying with them. besides, he has to cover up all his lies and cheatings.
11. Erdogan is like a Rabid Dog, he MUST be Put Down ASAP!
Son of Cyrus ,   UK   (10.18.13)
12. without the checks and balances?
Frank ,   Canada   (10.18.13)
I'm quite sure, he is receiving plenty of checks
13. Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (10.18.13)
He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas.
14. 2-Israel will have to demand to isolate Turkey
intelligence   (10.18.13)
Israel's intelligence services will have to demand not to pass any information to Turkey as a precondition for cooperation with any other NATO intelligence service. Israeli intelligence gathering capabilities are important for the US and NATO, let them do their calculation.
15. What ?
Mike ,   NZ   (10.18.13)
What do you mean ... security coop with Ankara limited. I would have expected that the level of coop would be zero, all things considered ! or have I read this incorrectly !
16. Lots of armchair generals here..
Ehud ,   Tampa   (10.18.13)
The world is not a computer game and Israel cannot destroy every nation that doesn´t sucumb to it´s principles. It can´t even destroy a guerrilla group led by a cleric who hides underground. It´s unmanned aircrafts have had ¨mysterious¨ technical difficulties lately. I wonder why they say Iranians are among the best hackers in the world.. Anyway, the way to solve problems is through diplomacy, stop pretending we´re strong, because we´re not, Israel depends entirely on America´s military and diplomatic support. Without their billions in military aid and airplanes and vetoes in the UN we´d be an endangered species if not extinct already.
17. WhatIf Erdo keeps NATO secrets like he kept Israel secrets,
Alan ,   SA   (10.18.13)
18. The puffed-up arrogant peacock has lost His feathers..
James McNamra ,   somewhere outthere   (10.18.13)
19. Tayyib's Turkey=a disintegrating country
Anton ,   Toronto   (10.18.13)
Thanks to the debile p.m., the curse of massacred and deported minorities is realisimg.
20. To #16
yona ,   Bev Hills   (10.18.13)
sorry but if you study jewish history, anytime we tried to make friends and peace we got destroyed. Yes, id love to pipe dream to that there is a way to please anti semites whereas they will leave us alone, but I would hate to disrespect the millions of jews who where killed because leaders of the past tried that nonsense. Bibi studies history, its obvious, and if not for him and guys like sharon you would have big problems.
21.  its time Israel
shlomo ,   usa   (10.18.13)
recognize the Armenian Genocide and stop appeasing Erdogan and his minions
22. #10 - take a holiday - you sound tired
Brian ,   London   (10.18.13)
23. 16.
Birdi ,   Israel   (10.18.13)
Who planted you here? Whom do you represent?
24. get over it
anton ,   istanbul   (10.18.13)
25. # 2 Herman Ben Israel, a question for you...
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (10.18.13)
how many Arab state members are in the UN? How many democracies side with them instead of for Israel in resolution after resolution? None of them can be trusted they have no vision for the future or, in fact, for their own future. The inclusion of Muslims in their midst brings with them the same wars they are having with one another from the lands from which they hail. Your question is superb. Wish they'd attempt an answer. Shalom.
26. # 4 The Turks voted him in twice.
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (10.18.13)
So did America. Payback's a bitch.
27. You mean coup?
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (10.18.13)
28. Arab nuclear facilities 0 Israel 2
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (10.18.13)
Shall Iran be # 3? If I were an Iranian, I'd take Bibi Netanyahu's absolute statement to heart, "Israel will not allow Iran to have nuclear capabilities." Many Arab nations are secretly allying themselves with Israel as they too have the same desire, Iran's religious Mullahs zealots removed one way or another.... why? they too are threatened and can't count on America or any one other than Israel for the mutual goals they share. Most interesting as both the Syrian war and the Iranian sanctions are in full swing, and are both deadly and expensive. Politics mades odd bed fellows. Notice also, that no Muslim here makes any argument either pro or con re: Syria, it's always the Jews.... A Jew behind every rock.. Except in all the Muslim nations having sooo much publicity about their murdering their own citizens and, not one Jew or Christian is involved. My, oh my. LOL
29. #16
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.18.13)
You are putting your eggs in the wrong basket if you think Israel depends on the U.S. Israel only needs to depend on God and the rest will sort itself out. Tell us how diplomacy worked with Hitler. Did it solve that problem Ehud? The Arab / radical Muslim world is no different than Hitler Ehud, they only want to kill you.
30. Egypt may enter the Millenial Kingdom of the Jewish Messiah
Rivkah   (10.18.13)
because its leader Anwar Sadat was brave enough to lose his life by signing a peace treaty with Israel. Is PM Erdogan as brave? He could possibly spare his nation from being a goat nation if he is a friend to Israel. Goat nations do not enter the Millenial Kingdom. Goat nations are cast into the lake of fire while sheep nations that are friend to the Jews who are Jews in their hearts enter the Millenial reign of Yehoshua.
