Opps Number 2 – There Goes Another Rubber Tree Plant!

I chose Turkey as one of the 10 toes of Daniel 2 a few years ago, and was quickly reminded that could not happen because the 10 toes were European nations and Turkey was a part of NATO, but I knew when push came to shove that Turkey would follow its Islamic roots to be
one of the 10. I chose Iraq as one of the 10 toes 32 years ago. When the United States invaded Iraq I was again quickly told that eliminated Iraq, because the United States was going to establish a democratic government in Iraq, which I knew would only last as long as American troops were there and, after their withdrawal, Iraq would be one of the 10.
So, here is my second “Opps” Blog on the subject of the 10. The 10 toes are going to be Arabic, not European!
As in goes in the popular song of late – “That’s my story, and I’ m sticking to it!
The following article was taken from the New York Times. It shows a further slippage of Turkey away from its secular union with the West back into its mother arms of Islam.

Turkey: Pullout from NATO Exercise
By CHRIS MASON (NYT)
The Turkish government pulled out of a five-week NATO milit
ary exercise in Canada to protest a statement by Prime Minister Stephen Harper last month in which he called the killing of Armenians in World War I a genocide. The move followed Turkey’s recall of its ambassador to Canada.
Turkey has also recalled its ambassador to France to protest a bill before Parliament that would make denying the Armenian genocide a crime. Officials at the Turkish Embassy in Canada confirmed that a half-dozen Turkish jet fighters and other aircraft to be used in the NATO exercise had been withdrawn.
The operation, to begin next week, will go on with about 40 aircraft and pilots from nine other countries, including the United States, Germany, France and Britain.
