| Jets over Istanbul |
| 2007-10-21 |
 INSTAPUNDIT'S ISTANBUL CORRESPONDENT, CLAIRE BERLINSKI, EMAILS: "For what it's worth, there have been jet fighters flying over the Bosphorus all night, rattling the windows and alarming my cats. Someone really wants to impress upon the citizens of Istanbul that they have a lot of loud, scary planes. I dare say it's not the Israelis dumping the odd fuel tank, either." |

| #4 Anyone else getting the feeling that no matter how pro-American any Muslim faction is they will still manage to make a dog's breakfast out of things for us and themselves as well? We are total idiots to be seeking any alliances with Muslim majority nations. They simply will not stop killing each other or making the odd swipe at us as well. It would be far better to simply crush these psychotic thugs and begin eradicating Islamic culture any way that we can. McZoid has it quite right in that this is not a strictly religious issue, it is a cultural problem and needs to be addressed on a much broader scale. |

#2  If the hapless carter were to get involved, the end result would be a denuded secular Turkish army replaced by a satanic horde bent on restoring the Caliphate and imposing its version of sharia throughout Asia Minor. |

| #1 I support Kurdish autonomy in Iraq, but last week's rally cries against Turks undermines the cause. Kurds should have dealt with the fact that people they harbor, murdered 15 Turk soldiers last week. The government is Islamofascist; the army is not. We cannot protect Kurds if they insist on jeopardizing themselves. |
