This has the potential to get seriously out of control.
Quote:Neoconservatives Lead Charge Against Turkey
Posted By Jim Lobe On June 9, 2010 @ 11:00 pm As the right-wing leadership of the organized U.S. Jewish community defends Israel against international condemnation for its deadly seizure of a flotilla bearing humanitarian supplies for Gaza, a familiar clutch of neoconservative hawks is going on the offensive against what they see as the flotilla’s chief defender, Turkey.
Outraged by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip’s Erdogan’s repeated denunciations of the May 31 Israeli raid, as well as his co-sponsorship with Brazil of an agreement with Iran designed to promote renewed negotiations with the West on Tehran’s nuclear program, some neoconservatives are even demanding that the U.S. try to expel Ankara from NATO as one among of several suggested actions aimed at punishing Erdogan’s AKP (Justice and Development Party) government.
Imagine all those in the US military/intelligence/political system who will lose fat drug money pay cheques from the American Turkish Council (as revealed by Sibel Edmonds) if Turkey is booted out of NATO?
My guess is that it will never happen.
But I am more than curious at Turkey's reaction to this event and also why Israeli commando's appear to have coldly assassinated a Turkish citizen on board the Mavi Marmara?
Is there more to this story than meets the eye?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
