Biden Apologizes to Islamist Leader of Turkey for Linking Him to ISIS

Under the Islamist AKP, Turkey has become a state sponsor of terror. Its links to ISIS are the worst kept secret in the region as ISIS fighters treat Turkey as a gateway to the ISIS Jihad.

But Biden made the mistake of quoting Erdogan and had to apologize for it.


Vice President Biden on Saturday apologized to Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for saying the Turkish leader admitted his country made mistakes by allowing foreign fighters to cross into Syria.

Biden spoke directly to Erdogan to “clarify” comments made on Thursday at Harvard University and apologized for “any implication” that Turkey or other allies had intentionally supplied or helped in the growth of the Islamic State or other extremists groups in Syria, the White House said.

Erdogan denied making such remarks and said Biden would become “history to me” over the comments at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, in Cambridge, Mass., unless he fixed the situation.

Biden on Thursday also described Erdogan as “an old friend” but suggested he said privately: “You were right. We let too many people through.”

Erdogan also said: “I have never said to (Biden) that we had made a mistake, never. If he did say this…, then he has to apologize to us.

“Foreign fighters have never entered Syria from our country. They may come to our country as tourists and cross into Syria, but no one can say that they cross in with their arms.”

That’s what they call plausible deniability. But it’s telling that Biden had to apologize to Erdogan, a murderous thug who casually kills his own people and talks about ethnically cleansing Armenians.

Meanwhile Biden felt free to stand up Netanyahu during his visit to Israel and then break a plaque and an apology was demanded from Netanyahu for insulting Biden… by building Jewish houses.

The Israel Lobby? Try the Turkey Lobby.

And is Turkey part of Obama's "broad coalition"?  Isn't Erdogan one of the bad guys?

Yes they voted to airstrike isis earlier this week, so i guess they are now a part of obalas broad coalittion deal. Yet they are the main supporter of isis from what I read. Foreign press comment sections say Erdogan is doing the same as obola, kabuki theater.
