In fact, I didn’t want to write anything about WikiLeaks. Why? The fact that these cables exist and reveal, if not confirm, the ugliness of diplomacy, makes them news. Nothing more! What few have mentioned, however, is what the leaked documents are not:
-They are not reporting
-They are not journalism
-They are not investigative
-They are not analytical
-They are not, by themselves, important
But what matters is now how governments react on all these allegations: on the languages of different USA civil servants.
Yesterday I was joking with a Turkish friend that Erdogan would sue whoever cross his path on this and that in the end the ‘Jew’ would be blamed for it. Since ‘the Muslim’, from their point of view is simple the ‘Eternal victim'. And always will be. But, heeeee, I was really joking; until late this afternoon. First the PM of Turkey said: ‘’This is the United States’ problem, not ours... Those who have slandered us will be crushed under these claims, will be finished and will disappear’’ Not the words of diplomacy, right.? Or this: ‘’ “My friends are working [to take action] against these diplomats in terms of national and international law. We will continue this process there. Thereafter, they [the diplomats] have to think [about the consequences],” Erdoğan said. “We have discussed these issues with the U.S. administration. They have extended their apologies, but it’s not enough. They have to take all necessary measures against these diplomats’’
The guy simple don’t know that you cannot sue diplomats. You can expel them when they committed serious crimes. That’s all. But it became worse and ugly now since a senior official of the ruling Turkish AKP party declared: ‘’Israel could have engineered the release of hundreds of thousands of confidential documents on WikiLeaks as a plot to corner Turkey on both domestic and foreign policy’’
Turkey anno 2010: anti-Semite, discriminator, racist, and full of self pity. A shame.

When I hear the prime minister speak of "crushing" his enemies, I think of caricatures like this:

But Borat is at least funny...Erdogan sounds like an always angry dumbo.))
He is just an imam! So he don't know what a diplomat is. I am serious, erdogan told that he had never ever read a book in his entire life and he is always proud of this. For erdogan, a so called PM, even Ignorance is something positive.
How about the Gul he studied in Europe (UK) but when he turned back to Turkey he married at the age of 30 with a 15 years old girl!
Islamo-fascists are living in another world. You can make them study in a European university but that won't help them evolve to be a civilized individual.
The details about AKP corruption is all true people all know the facts in the diplomatic reports if you just search in Turkish you can see that criminals are ruling this country!
That is why Edelman or me or many people will never trust this party of imams. There is only one imam I like the Pokeimam. And Pokeimam is legendary

When did Erdogan say that? That would be an interesting revelation.
@Anonymous:"he never ever read a book" - at least GW Bush read a book on 9/11 (if you ever saw 'Fahrenheit 9/11' you know what I mean)...
;p
Dutchman Osman :) you made me laugh till I had stomach ache lols. Sure I remember Bush was in a kindergarten or in a primary school lols. This imam party that we are dealing with in Turkey was the idea
of Bush!
This is another motto from the imam. He told, basic translation, ''The people who studied/read much are all miserable/unsuccessful in Turkey''

if you are Turkish you should know this otherwise emre ask to the nisanyan and his magic jar! Yes imam really said that to a journalist in an interview his words in Turkish was something like that ! ''Hayatım boyunca Teksas-Tommiks hariç hiç kitap okumadım''
Our imams are much funnier than Borat.But living in a country dictated by real Borats is really hard.
do you know the story of Aziz Nesin and the Japanese journalist? :)
Too tired and sleepy to sign in
