Turkish PM now talking of sailing with aid flotilla to Gaza, what will the israeli navy do now? where will USA stand on this?

The reason given for boarding these ships in international waters is searching for weapons of mass destruction...

This flotilla will also be guarded by the Turkish Navy

Good on Turkey for standing up. More than the Americans or the UK seem to be doing.

Well said GB. It's time someone did something about Isreal.

(Other than Ron Keane in Iran that is)

Why do I have this inkling that Saoirse might be along soon to have his say ? Fancy a cruise with our Turkish PM Philip ?

Despite extensive coverage in the Turkish press there seems to be no coverage of this aspect[?] :)

This is very strange. I have done a search of sky news website but could find no sign of it. I have also tried other news sites without success. I have however found reference to the story on the following link.
http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=129221§ionid=351020204
It is interesting that this Lebanese newspaper is the only one to carry the story. I would appreciate it if anyone who finds more references would call my attention to them.  Thanks.

Another intersting bit of information is that Presstv - the site that reported the Lebanese newspaper - is Iran's television network, broadcasting in English. Sounding more and more like porky pies to me. Somebody wants to put Mr Erdogan in the hot seat.
