REUTERS whores for Recep

Oh, look, REUTERS continues to whore for Recep Tayyip Erdogan.  He bombed a UN refugee camp in Iraq -- a kindergarten school, in fact -- and killed at least 3 civilians with two more injured.  And yet he wants to claim that he killed a terrorist and that's what REUTERS runs with and headlines.  They don't note the civilians, they still don't note the UN connection to the camp.


When Recep visited the US and had his goons attack US citizens on US soil and got away with it, I thought we'd seen the height of impunity.  We weren't even close.  He's a thug and a despot and a danger to the health of others.


But don't worry, REUTERS lays at his feet like a good lap dog.


Paragraph eight:


U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield visited Ankara last week and said she told officials that "any attack targeting civilians at Makhmour refugee camp would be a violation of international and humanitarian law".


Seems like that should have been the lead, right?


That Recep was warned that an attack on the camp "would be a violation of international and humanitarian law."  By the way, when he made his threat?  We pointed that reality out here.


There is other news out of Iraq and we'll note some of it tomorrow.  But as the Turkish government grows ever more bold in their efforts to wipe out the Kurds, we'll take right now to focus one more time on what is becoming the genocide that the Turkish government intends to carry out this century.


Kat's got an album review going up here in a bit.
