About that "apology tour"

[Bob78164]

Says you?

Says pretty much everyone who was in the room. That's why they were so shocked when Donny went off script to crumple like wet paper as soon as Erdogan pushed.

Says their history of, you know, not attacking us because they didn't want to risk combat with us.

How can anyone possibly complain about President Obama's "apology tour" without recognizing that Donny's actions highlighted American impotence and irresolution for all the world to see? Either you want a strong America or you don't. --Bob

Oh please

And this is new. Now the Secretary of State is publicly stating that we're willing to go to war with Turkey. I rather suspect that Turkey will treat this as an empty threat in light of Donny's pretty consistent course of conduct of backing down whenever anyone stands up to him, like most would-be bullies do. Of course, none of this would have been necessary if Donny had simply left the status quo alone. --Bob
