Protesters from illegitimate protesters and will that make a difference? >> we've seen president obama and the white house not say much about prime minister erdogan. they've pleaded for restraint, as is their want, but they haven't really talked about concerns they have of what the police are doing. as you know, the united states considers turkey a very important ally when it comes to syria, when it comes to iraq, when it comes to iran. talk about the difficult position president obama finds himself in. >> well, it does clearly present a dilemma for president obama and the other western europe...
