Netanyahu demurred from personally attending the upcoming Washington nuclear summit, expecting Israel to be made the issue in a hijacked event rather than rogue states like Iran. As if on cue, up steps Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan: 'World turns blind eye to Israeli nukes'
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday said the world was turning a blind eye to Israel's nuclear program, adding that he intended to raise the issue at the nuclear summit in Washington.
Erdogan says Iran's nuclear program was being scrutinized because of its membership in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) whereas Israel, which has not signed a nonproliferation treaty (NPT), was "free to do what it wants."
Speaking to reporters before his departure for Washington, Erdogan said, "We are disturbed by this and will say so."
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called off his trip to Washington because he believed Turkey and other Muslim nations would turn the issue of Israel's reported nuclear program into the focus of the global summit...
It would appear that Prime Minister Netanyahu learned a very important lesson from his days in the military. If possible, don't walk into an ambush. Sure would be nice if our president understood this simple fact, rather than setting up an ally for an attack.
Tom,
Just watching this video makes it easier to understand:
Obama Admits He is a Muslim
I watched that video - what a waste of 9 minutes and 57 seconds. A junior high school kid could have put together a more persuasive piece of journalism. What a joke!
Yet, regarding Iran, we're all to remain mum, eh?
