Know who this fellow is? Hint: he is a friend of Obama''s; a hardline Muslim and no friend of the U.S.

This is the President of Turkey,  a man named  Tayyip Erdoğan.  OK,  never mind his name.  Just know this: he is no friend of this countr;  a Muslim extremist who defends Shira Law, has refused to allow the US to set up a base in his country,  to fight against ISIS,  but sees ISIS as propaganda issue and resists that degree of jihad extremism while support jihad on a more subdued scale.

In spite of the fact that Al Qaeda based in Yemen,  took full responsibility for the Paris terrorist attacks,  he blames America and the CIA for the terror assault (here).  Understand that in his country,  the press is run by Central Planning by rule of law.  In America,  Central Planning controls the media's agenda via willful compliance.  In both cases,  the people are victimized by the Leadership.

At any rate,  Obama sees him as a friend, and,  therein,  is the reason why Obama does not work to destroy militant Islam,  in whatever form it manifests itself.
