Imagine

During the Obama administration, Turkey has been the focus of our outreach to the Islamic world. Enter Vice President Biden.

Imagine the damage the VP could inflict on our reputation abroad if he gets to sit in the Oval Office?

Responding to questions following his speech at the Harvard Kennedy School on Thursday, Biden described Erdogan as "an old friend." Biden added: "He (Erdogan) said: 'You were right. We let too many people through.' Now they're trying to seal their border."

Erdogan said: "I have never said to him that we had made a mistake, never. If he did say this at Harvard then he has to apologize to us."

And let's add style points for coming at a critical time when Turkey is deciding how to participate in the fights in Iraq and Syria.
