Rick Perry: Turkey Run By Islamic Terrorists, Should Be Kicked Out Of NATO

Just what we need, more confrontational bull@#$%!!! What an idiot!

http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/rick-perry-turkey-run-by-islamic-terrorists-should-be-kicked-out-of-nato/

BAIR: Governor Perry, since the Islamist-oriented party took over in Turkey, the murder rate of women has increased 1,400 percent there. Press freedom has declined to the level of Russia. The prime minister of Turkey has embraced Hamas and Turkey has threatened military force against both Israel and Cypress. Given Turkey’s turn, do you believe Turkey still belongs in NATO?
PERRY: Well, obviously when you have a country that is being ruled by, what many would perceive to be Islamic terrorists, when you start seeing that type of activity against their own citizens, then yes. Not only is it time for us to have a conversation about whether or not they belong to be in NATO, but it’s time for the United States, when we look at their foreign aid, to go to zero with it.

And the question asked may be dumber than the response. All lies.

It was a loaded question in the first place...guaranteed for a certain type of response"
