Gates Blames Europe for Loss of Turkey
As if to confirm some crazy conspiracy theory--that a Power Elite secretly runs America--the American defense chief, Robert Gates, a Republican, is blaming Europe for the loss of Islamizing Turkey to Iran. Europe's sin, according to Gates, is resisting the Islamist invasion.

In fact, Washington deserves all the ... bipartisan ... blame for this strategic setback. The Bush administration stupidly stopped Turkey's military--traditional guardian of the country's secular system--from overthrowing the country's crypto-Islamist government. And the Obama administration encouraged and emboldened the Islamist menace in the context of an odious outreach to "the Muslim world" and attempts to engage (appease and align with) Islamist Iran.
President Obama also backed Turkey's bid for EU membership--even though the United States is not an EU member--and intervened, incredibly, in the French burqa controversy on the Turkish/Iranian/Islamist/Muslim Brotherhood side.
If any Western power deserves blame for the rise of Islamism--for the unleashing of a Nazi-like monster that threatens to destroy the West--it is the U.S.
