JUST AS I PREDICTED: TURKEY CALLS ON NATO!

AP/JPOST: NATO calls for probe into raid

Call for investigation of Gaza flotilla raid instigated by Turkey.

NATO called Tuesday for a "prompt, impartial, credible and transparent investigation" into Monday's Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla that ended with the deaths of nine activists.

Representatives of the alliance's 28 nations met on Tuesday to discuss the incident. Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen demanded the immediate release of the detained civilians and ships held by Israel.

THIS IS JUST A HOLDING MOVE - LIKE MOVING A PAWN - IN PREPARATION FOR SENDING A TURKISH NAVAL SHIP WITH THE NEXT FLOTILLA AND DELIBERATELY ENGAGING THE IDF IN ORDER TO INVOKE NATO ARTICLE 5.

AS I PREDICTED LAST WEEK.

NO ONE ELSE DID.

ONLY I SAW IT COMING.

SIGH. SPREAD THE WORD... STAY TUNED ...

UPDATE: TURKEY IS PRESSING FOR AN ISRAELI/USA SPLIT:

Turkey demanded on Tuesday that the United States condemn the botched Israeli raid on an aid flotilla that ended with Israeli soldiers killing nine activists.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told reporters ahead of a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton that Turkey was disappointed with the Obama administration's response to the raid.

He said that he had scheduled a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington on Monday to discuss indirect talks with Syria before Netanyahu canceled his trip Sunday.

The White House has reacted cautiously, asking for disclosure of the full facts about the raid. The killings have put the administration in an awkward position between two allies at a time that it is trying to refocus Middle East peace talks and win new sanctions against Iran in the United Nations Security Council.

In a sign of the sensitivity of the raid on U.S.-Turkish relations, the State Department closed coverage of the meeting to the press. It had previously scheduled a photo opportunity, a venue in which reporters probably would have tried to ask questions.

Before they met, however, Davutoglu was perfectly open about the message he would convey to Clinton.

''I have to be frank: I am not very happy with this statement from Washington yesterday,'' Davutoglu said. ''We expect a clear condemnation.''

A USA-ISRAEL SCHISM IS WHAT THE LEFT HAS WANTED FOR A LONG TIME - AND IT'S WHY THEY WERE A BIG PART OF THE FLOTILLA; THEY WERE THE FLOTILLAS "COVER".

TURKEY IS USING THE FLOTILLA AND THEIR NATO MEMBERSHIP TO HELP DRIVE THE WEDGE.

AND OBAMA IS INCLINED TO AGREE.

STAY TUNED...
