The Vice President spoke to the leader of the Turkish people on Saturday and apologized for comments he made on Thursday, the White House said.
In a speech on Thursday, the Vice President of the United States said that the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has conceded that Turkey mistakenly helped foreign fighters trying to unseat the Syrian government, foreign fighters like ISIS. Needless to say, the statement did not go over well with the Turks, prompting President Erdogan to say that Biden would become “history to me.”
According to the White House, the Vice President apologized “for any implication” that Turkey or other allies had intentionally supplied or helped in the growth of the Islamic State group or other extremists groups in Syria.
In yet another online video, another ISIS beheading is seen. Alan Henning, the British citizen held captive by the Islamic group was murdered over the weekend, the fourth of such gruesome display, done by ISIS in the name of Islam.
In the video, the masked killer with the now familiar British accent and common mannerism spoke about the recent bombings in Iraq and Syria, and warned President Obama that the murders will continue as the bombings continue.
“Obama, you have started your aerial bombardment of Sham (Syria), which keeps on striking our people, so it is only right that we continue to strike the necks of your people,” the masked militant in the video said.
In a statement, the British Foreign Officer said that they are working to verify the beheading, and are offering all support to Alan Henning’s family.
“If true, this is a further disgusting murder,” the officer’s statement said. “We are offering the family every support possible; they ask to be left alone at this time.”
British Prime Minister David Cameron said Henning’s apparent slaying showed “how barbaric and repulsive these terrorists are.”
“Alan had gone to Syria to help get aid to people of all faiths in their hour of need,” Cameron said in a statement. “The fact that he was taken hostage when trying to help others and now murdered demonstrates that there are no limits to the depravity of these … terrorists.
“We will do all we can to hunt down these murderers and bring them to justice.”
The doctor who was infected with Ebola while working in Africa but cleared of the disease after being successfully treated here in the US, is now back in the hospital with a respiratory infection.
Doctors at UMass Memorial Medical Center said in a statement that Dr. Richard Sacra was hospitalized Saturday for observation and is in stable condition with a cough and conjunctivitis, commonly known as pinkeye.
The hospital stressed that doctors don’t believe the virus has recurred. They are awaiting test results from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for confirmation, which they expect to have by late Monday.
Meanwhile, Sacra is in isolation at the hospital.
“We are isolating Dr. Sacra to be cautious pending final confirmation of his illness,” said Dr. Robert Finberg, who is heading Sacra’s medical team. “We think it is highly unlikely that he has Ebola. We suspect he has an upper respiratory tract infection.”
Republicans. They are past the stage of no return.
Since President Obama took office, Republicans have been on a rampage trying to prove the impossible, that President Obama was born somewhere else, any where else than right here in the good ole US of A!. They even created a name for themselves – The Birthers! And although the President has provided both his short form and long form United States birth certificate – an apparent requirement now that this particular president is in office – these Republicans are still convinced that the birth of the President in the state of Hawaii did not happen.
So on goes the clown car.
One of the brains in the party has taken it upon himself to start a petition to deport the president, my guess is they want to deport him back to the land of his birth – Hawaii!
The 20 page petition was started by Larry Klayman, founder of the conservative group Judicial Watch, the same man who now heads Freedom Watch. Klayman submitted his deportation petition to the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement because, they obviously have nothing better to do with their time than to cater to the willfully ignorant.
Without any proof whatsoever, the Republican brain Klayman argues in his petition that the Birth Certificate the president produced from Hawaii was fake. He also contends that the President’s Social Security number is also fake. Again, no proof necessary, just a petition based on nothing but his words, his hate and his emotional state of mind, (and you thought Republicans had no emotions).
Barack Hussein Obama has relied upon a birth certificate from the State of Hawaii which is clearly a forgery — that is, not a valid birth certificate — and indeed also a rather sloppy forgery with easily-detected, unmistakable errors and defects.
It is a fair inference that Barack Hussein Obama would not have relied throughout his life upon a forged birth certificate if a genuine birth certificate showing a live birth in U.S. territory existed. No one would present a birth certificate that document analysis exposes to be a forgery if they could just as easily present their actual, genuine birth certificate. As a result, claims that an undisclosed birth certificate exists and a more recent document must face serious credibility questions as to why a forgery was being used — a crime and document fraud under the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA) — unnecessarily…
The irony is, these Birther folks calling for the President’s deportation, are the same ones who will happily cast their vote for Ted Cruz. Cruz, a potential Republican presidential candidate for the 2016 election, was actually born in Calgary Canada. That is another country, and is listed on his birth certificate as his place of birth. But Republicans consider Cruz okay because, he’s a Republican and although he is of minority descent, he looks the part. His color is passable.
Yep! These Republicans have passed the point of no return indeed!
