Thousands of protestors (Press TV) are filling the streets across Turkey to protest President Obama’s visit to the NATO ally. Irag is a primary reason — as you’ll see in the video below — as is NATO:
[T]he streets were littered with anti-NATO and anti-Obama fliers. “Leave NATO — get rid of the gladiators,” one flier said, demanding that Turkey abandon the alliance. (WaPo)
“[The protestors] say his visit will bring more turmoil to the Middle East, and that he’s armed with demands that could divide Turkey,” writes Al Jazeera.
The reporter warns that Obama had better demonstrate that his talk will lead to something. We all know that that won’t happen and, insofar as Iraq and Afghanistan are concerned, he’s basically Bush II. He turned down the constructive nation-building ideas proposed by General David Petraeus, SecState Hillary Clinton and Envoy Richard Holbrooke in favor of a narrow, military-only strategy in Afghanistan with insufficient troop numbers, which — as John Batchelor’s panel (including Larry Johnson) pointed out tonight — will just add a few more soldiers in a largely wasted effort due to the incoherent and confusingly managed hodgepodge of multinational forces and teams.
