    Those individuals who are candidates for positions requiring responsibility such as the U.S. presidency are expected to be more knowledgeable on global affairs and more careful in their statements. As a Republican, I am ashamed that individuals like Perry is running for the highest office in the nation. He has absolutely no clue....God Save Our Souls from him...

    Turkey is also not receiving US foreign aid since early 1980s. Perry has no idea about foreign policy. He is sucking up to Israel so much that even Israelis would question his integrity...what an idiot....

    Rick Perry is paying back to his paymasters, that's it. Turkey is "punished" for flotilla and going after Israel.
