In hurling an insult at someone who had the temerity to question his leadership, Erdogan illustrates why liberals of Obama's ilk will never get the Mideast because getting it would force them too far outside of their ideological comfort zone and threaten too deeply their idealist sympathies - Erdogan cursed the churl with the epithet 'Israeli spawn' - apparently in Turkey there's no more reviled an insult than that. Nevermind how Obama infamously professed his love for fellow deep thinker Erdogan - but consider how Turkey when measured as a progressive Islamist polity [we offend credulity, yes] stands head and shoulders above 'Palestine' - and yet when the leader of that progressive redoubt really wants to insult someone he labels them 'Israeli spawn' - and idiots like Kerry think they can forge a peace that conveniently ignores that reality? Delusional doesn't even begin to capture the folly of Obama's foreign policy.
