Biden Apologizes to Islamist Leader of Turkey for Linking Him to ISIS
October 4, 2014 by Daniel Greenfield
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.
