Turkey's Tayyid Erdogan's goose is cooked

His kotowing to the dictates of the White House  will spell the end to  his political career.  Since his joining the worldwide club of Obama groupies, things are just not working out in the man's favor.  Being a groupie of idol Obama does nobody any good (Canada's PM Harper should take note too).  Instead of settling Turkey's ongoing problems with the Kurds and other issues, groupie Erdogan decides to buddy up with Obama and Obama's masters, Saudi Arabia and join the proxy war between the House of Saud and Iran ... on the side of the country that's more evil.  Can madness get any more madder?

The mayor of Cizre, Mustafa Gören, was also in attendance, and a general strike was enacted alongside the planned protest. Turkish authorities had refused to issue permission for the protest in the first place, citing the display of pro-PKK propaganda as an excuse.
