Martin Peretz: he Actually Taught at Harvard?.........

Walking on water

“So Saudi Arabia is buying 85 new American F-15 jets and refurbishing 70 of the old ones they have. But the F-15s are not the F-35s that are arriving in Israel. Still, the arming of the royal states and statelets is an expensive and unprecedented commitment to Arab defense. There is a new and demanding factor in the geopolitics of the region. Turkey had had its eyes on entering Europe but has realistically lost any hope that this will happen. Britain still sings the Turkish anthem. So NATO will be the extent of Ankara's involvement in the continent, and the fact is that NATO is nothing, absolutely nothing. Ankara's new loyalties are to the Persians, an alliance against the Arabs, for all of Turkey's cosseting up to the Gazan Palestinians……”

Wow, read the great style, the great logic: “and the fact is that NATO is nothing, absolutely nothing. Ankara's new loyalties are to the Persians…”
This guy writes worse than I do, almost. Maybe only when he gets emotional, as he seems to be about Obama and the Turks and, especially Israel.
