Turkey says flotilla raid was 'cause for war' - Yahoo! News
Yahoo News reports: "Turkey's prime minister said Monday that Israel's raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla last year was 'cause for war' but added that his country showed "patience" and refrained from taking any action."

DEBKAfile - Turkish frigates to confront Israeli vessels, disable their weapons
DEBKAfile reports: "As Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan was set to start a visit to Egypt, Turkish naval sources reported: 'If Turkish warships encounter an Israeli military ship outside Israel's 12-mile territorial waters, they will advance up to 100 meters from the ship and disable its weapon system.' The threat bluntly applied to Israel's naval enforcement of its UN-approved blockade of the Gaza Strip."

Comment: I'm getting tired of Turkey, just who do they think they are? What did they think would happen when they allowed their people to attempt to run the blockade? If one country sets up a naval blockade and another country (supposedly an ally) funds and supports the blockade runners, who exactly is the villain and who is the victim? Turkey is painting Israel as the villain but you know, you can turn it around. I think Israel should demand an apology from Turkey for not being an supportive ally. This is taking us further down the road of Turkey turning to the enemy camp.
