Secretary of State Antony Blinken is on the road again. He landed in Turkey yesterday for the start of his fourth trip to the region since the October 7 Hamas terror attacks. He met with Turkish tyrant Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Foreign Minister, attempting to negotiate for Turkish participation in the reconstruction of Gaza and a potential, neutral security role in the region when the war concludes. Blinken will be returning to several other countries this week as he attempts to hammer out a deal to prevent the war from escalating even further. We really need to give Blinken credit for at least trying to stay busy, unlike his boss in the White House who rarely comes off of vacation and only infrequently leaves the basement when he does. But what prospects are there for Turkey to be a willing partner in this effort? (Associated Press)
