Obama Is "Clueless" or Doesn't Care

Investigate Israel? NO! Investigate Turkey

Pressure is building at the U.N. and elsewhere, including from the Obama Administration, for an international investigation of Israel's actions in stopping the Turkish flotilla. The demands should be rejected. (Given some of his own actions, President Obama might want to think twice before demanding investigations.)

The real investigation that we need is of the role of the Turkish government in creating and then exploiting a crisis for the benefit of Hamas and the worldwide jihad movement. Who were the well-trained thugs who set upon Israeli Seals when they boarded the ship? Who gave each of the young Turks the $10,000 in cash found in their pockets? Why is the Turkish government working with the IHH, a "charity" with close ties to Hamas and other terrorist groups?

On Barack Obama's watch, Turkey has slipped into the radical Islamist orbit with consequences that threaten the U.S., Israel and the balance of power throughout the Middle East. Israel is in shock at what is happening to Turkey, its former ally, and Obama and his team are clueless or simply don't care.

By the way, it's not easy to laugh at the anti-Israel bias and twisted logic of the media and "international community," but a YouTube video, entitled "We Con The World," makes the point well.
