This seems to be becoming a tradition. Taking a swipe at America when there is about to be a change of president. Rodrigo Duterte has also been attacking Obama quite a bit lately.

id like to see these photos

Blaming their problems on the US is a well-worn tactic for second-rate leaders the world over.

Well, Erdogan knows the best who his partners are lol

US is handing weapons to IS through Saudi Arabia, thats a well known fact.

...through Turkey actually, so Erdogan can hardly complain as he is the willing middleman. The US was hoping to give weapons to the more moderate rebels but there werent enough of them around, except for the Kurds and the Turks were hardly gonna hand the weapons over to them. They handed the US weapons over to IS with instructions to attack the Kurds.

He bought oil from them up until the Russians and the west bombed the convoys

Obama???

The US allowed ISIS to take a foothold in Syria as they thought it would help destabilise and topple Assad which was their primary objective.

So would I. But the US has a long history of doing this type of thing....

good point.

but i think erdogan was trying to say that support for ISIS is ongoing.

Erdogan gets his truths from the same place as trump - Putin.

Well sadly for America, whatever Erdogan does say - it is in US interests to agree and apologise to Turkey. As long as Turkey has 50 US nuclear missiles in stored Turkey's Incirlik Airbase - the US is in no position to say anything at all concerning Turkey.

Accordingly New York Times, LA Times, ABC and CNN have not touched the story.

Erdogan wants a certain someone extradited from the USA so he can have a show trial and execution.

Erdogan is close both religiously and politically to IS.

isis in the west are terrorists but in the middle east an opportunity.
welcome to politics.
