Turks Reportedly Break Up Obama Assassination Plot
Let’s be happy the plot was broken up, and that our President is ok.
Turkish security services have arrested a man of Syrian descent who was planning to assassinate US President Barack Obama during his current trip to Turkey, the Saudi daily Al Watan reported Monday.
According to the report, the man, who was arrested on Friday, was carrying a press card identifying him as an employee of Al Jazeera. He reportedly confessed to his intention to stab Obama with a knife and said that he was aided by three accomplices.
The report stated that Turkish authorities were still unsure as to whether the press card was a fake or whether it had actually been issued the man by the Qatari news network.
Discussion question: Will this incident finally force liberals to admit that it wasn’t just Bush making our enemies abroad hate us? And that some of them hate us simply because we are who we are?
My guess is probably not.
On a related note, Obama’s been protested quite a bit abroad. Here’s a picture of some protesters targeting him in Turkey.
Whenever Bush would go abroad the people protesting him would be mentioned in every single article about the trip. But Obama getting protested even while on his “Blame America First” tour of Europe?
That’s not getting much coverage at all.
