More fruits of appeasement....
Following Obama's visit to Turkey as part of his outreach to the so-called Muslim world, the country's crypto-Islamist government is trading a traditional alliance with Israel for ties to Islamist Iran and its secular but rapidly Islamizing Arab ally, Syria. This has not stopped Obama from pushing Turkey's bid for EU membership, even though the United States has no legitimate basis for interfering in internal EU affairs.
China Confidential analysts assert the Obama administration has warned Turkey's military, historically, the guardian of the country's secular system, against even thinking about making any moves to oust the enemy within.
Regarding the anti-Israel tilt, Ilan Berman reports:In mid-October, the Turkish government formally announced that it had canceled Anatolian Eagle, a major joint exercise with Israel's air force as well as U.S. and NATO forces, in protest over Israel's Gaza offensive last winter. The news was as dramatic as it was disheartening. Just a decade ago, the strategic bonds between Jerusalem and Ankara were strong and vibrant, encompassing military and political cooperation and animated by a shared perception of post-Cold War regional threats. That partnership, in turn, was nurtured by a West eager to secure a pro-Western pivot in the historically inhospitable Middle East. And Anatolian Eagle, a cooperative air force drill designed to enhance training and interoperability between the Israeli and Turkish militaries, was a large part of the strategic partnership formally codified between the two countries in 1996.
Today, however, that warmth is just a distant memory. Since taking power in fall 2002, Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) slowly but surely has steered its country away from partnership with Israel.
Part of the reason has been political. The strategic entente with Israel was the brainchild of the AKP's chief political rival, Turkey's fiercely secular military and defense establishment. Predictably, therefore, it has become a political football in the tug-of-war for domestic primacy between the Islamist AKP and its nationalist detractors.
But the significance of Turkey's anti-Israeli turn is more than merely local. Rather, the widening rift between Jerusalem and Ankara is a troubling manifestation of Turkey's eastward drift. That is because the country that once ranked as the West's most dependable partner in the Muslim world has increasingly drifted into alignment with some of the Middle East's most troublesome regimes.

China Confidential analysts add that Obama is actually pleased with the tilt, influenced by advisers who want to relegate Israel to ghetto-like, second-class (dhimmi) status in the Muslim-dominated region. Seeing Israel as a mistake that should never have been allowed to happen in the first place, the Obama team believes the Jewish State should not have a foreign policy, should probably not even belong to the United Nations.
A somewhat protected (perhaps), barely tolerated, mini-state, hemmed into its pre-1967, "Auschwitz lines," in the words of the late (dovish) Israeli foreign minister, Abba Eban, is Obama's vision--for starters. In fact, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Samantha Power, and other Israel-hating Obama advisers aim to transform Israel into a city-state--greater Tel Aviv minus the Galilee and the Negev. The final solution to the Middle East conflict, in their twisted view, is a weakened, autonomous Israel, no longer truly sovereign, stripped of its presumed nuclear arsenal, slated for withering away and dying and/or annihilation.
And American Jews, to their great discredit and shame, voted overwhelmingly for Obama....
Perfidy!
EDITOR'S NOTE: Brzezinski and Power are obsessed with Israel. The aging Cold Warrior has called on Obama to shoot down Israeli aircraft if they attack Iran's nuclear installations. Power has proposed using U.S. troops to force Israel into withdrawing from lands captured during the (defensive) Six-Day War of June 1967.

The brave, remarkably composed female soldier was shot in the back by a traitorous, Islamist terrorist. In a real sense, the entire armed forces is being stabbed in the back, daily, by the Obama administration and its lackeys and flunkeys in the U.S. Congress and the mass media. The mass shooting wasn't a "tragedy." A train wreck is a tragedy. An airplane crash is a tragedy. An Islamist terror attack is an Islamist terror attack.
