Andrew, it is upsetting that a member of Prime Minister Erdogan’s party compared the Pope to Hitler. It’s also upsetting that Erdogan said what a good guy Yasin al-Qadi is after Turkish papers revealed that his top Erdogan advisor donated money to to al-Qadi’s charity. Al-Qadi, of course, has been identified by both the US Treasury Department and the UN as an al-Qaeda financier. Perhaps it’s time for Erdogan to clear the air, and at least denounce his advisors and deputies who don’t understand such basic things as who Hitler was and that good guys don’t fund al-Qaeda. If he doesn’t, perhaps President Bush shouldn’t give Erdogan his Oval Office meeting. Back it Turkey, it will be spun as a US endorsement of these “moderate Islamists.” Now that the latest Turkish polls released today show the AKP falling below the 30 percent mark, the White House might want to consider whether they really want to endorse this man and his party.
