Mr Obama is due to head for Europe next month to attend the G20 summit in London on 2 April.

- TURKEY IS A PISS-POOR ALLY: THEY REFUSED TO LET US USE TURKEY AS A BASE OF OPERATIONS FOR THE INVASION OF IRAQ AND THIS SEVERELY EFFECTED THE OUTCOME.
- TURKEY IS RUN BY THE AKP - AND ISLAMIST PARTY GRADUALLY TURNING THE SECULAR TURKEY INTO AN ISLAMIC STATE.
