What a shock. Obama, his Defense Department and the leftist New York Times lied. They all claimed on Sunday that Turkey agreed to let the US use their airforce bases for air strikes against ISIS in Syria. Problem is, someone forgot to tell Turkey that.

Susan Rice, the Benghazi liar also lied about this. Rice claimed on Meet the Press on Sunday that Turkey has agreed to allow the US to use their airbases. Now they are saying Susan Rice ‘misspoke’. Yea, umm ok.
A Turkish official on Monday denied reports of an agreement with the United States and Arab allies on using an air base in southern Turkey for operations against the Islamic State group.
An unnamed official told the Associated Press that there is no new agreement, and Turkey and the U.S. are still talking about the Incirlik air base as well as Turkish demands for the creation of a no-fly zone and a safe haven for refugees.
The denial comes after Obama administration officials told The New York Times that an American assessment team is expected to arrive in Turkey this week to determine what kind of missions can be flown from the Turkish bases, as well as and iron out the details of a training program for moderate Syrian rebels that also reportedly was agreed on over the weekend.
U.S. Defense officials, though, told Fox News it is premature to say what the Turks might be agreeing to, though a U.S. military team is slated to head to Turkey later in the week.
