#1 So it's OK for Turkey to protect itself from rebels, but not for Israel to protect itself from militants.

I wonder what the difference between a rebel and a militant is.

#2 A rebel is someone who attacks you. A militant is someone who attacks people other than you.

#3 "I wonder what the difference between a rebel and a militant is."

That's easy, gorb - anyone attacking the Jooooooos is a militant.

#5 So Obama gave them a finger and it looks like they are going to try to take the whole hand. I wonder if Obama is starting to understand why his predecessors never "thought" of doing things his way.

Probably not, gorb. I suspect he thinks the way the Turks are behaving is a feature of his "diplomacy," not a bug. :-(

#8 Don't' you just love it when a plan comes together?

Being said by a lot of people who voted for Obama.
Including Obama of course.
