#1 Good Grief… Turkey Refutes Susan Rice, Says No Deal Reached to Allow US to Use Air Bases (Video)

[Gateway Pundit] On Sunday, Obama’s National Security Adviser Susan Rice told “Meet the Press” that Turkey had agreed to let the US use its air bases to fight ISIS.

On Monday, Turkey called out Susan Rice and said her claims were not true. No deal has been reached with the US.

Have it all wrong? Who me ?

#2 Was Turkey/NATO bombing of the Kurds part of the deal ?

#4 Yep -looks like Turkey is bombing the Kurds while they're locked in no-quarter combat with ISIS in Kobani. But hey, Champ just notched his 200th round of golf so all must be going according to plan.

#5 It's simple. Cut Turkey off altogether. No aid. No NATO. No EU. No nothing. Then when they finally get into a full on shooting war with Iran or Russia or both, buy popcorn. Oh, and air drop all the weapons the Kurds can use in Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran. But then it is true, Obama might be too busy playing golf.

#6 Another stellar moment in Obama's foreign policy. Maybe it was all a prank to get Rice to look like an idiot. It worked.

#7 We need to start treating Turkey as a hostile country, not an ally. No more economic aid or treaties, kick them out of NATO. Let them play with Vlad by themselves on their NE border. Back the Greeks in any of the conflicts between them and the Turks. And arm the hell out of the Kurds inside Turkey to back the liberation movement there which will rip Turkey apart.
