Is Turkey a fifth column in NATO?
Is Turkey a fifth column in NATO? Michael Rubin presents a pretty good argument that it is.

About Me
- Name: Carl in Jerusalem
- Location: Jerusalem, Israel
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

Hi Carl.
I do believe it is and even more then you think.
Huseyin Dirioz the new second in command for Nato "ANKARA May 2003 - Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesman Huseyin Dirioz said on Wednesday, ''Turkey supports the 'road map', which was submitted to settle peace between Israel and Palestine. Turkey is ready to make any kind of contribution to this end." And today "Another reason to bounce Turkey from NATO: Giving Syria advanced weaponry.The Syrian campaign is backed by Heron (Eitan) spy drones Israel sold Turkey, made accessible on the personal say-so of Prime Minister Tayyip Recep Erdogan.Turkey therefore becomes the first NATO member to make advanced Western military technology available for the use of a strong ally of radical Iran and an active sponsor of terrorists" i think Israel might find one day Nato troops patrolling the streets of Jerusalem the way Obama is "handling"things.
Turkey used to be the eastern flank of NATO during the Cold War against the Soviet Union. That role has now outlived its usefulness. With an Islamist Turkey, its now time to revisit the continued membership of Turkey within the NATO alliance.
