What you see on the news from Turkey are protesters shouting anti-American and anti-Israel slogans, but what most are not seeing are the convoys headed towards the Incirlik base where U.S. Air Force is stationed to stage a massive rally against the U.S.:
A convoy of massive numbers of vehicles headed towards Incirlik where US Air Force are stationed. It is not only demonstrators who are moving toward Incirlik Air Base in the southern Turkish city of Adana for anti-U.S. protests, but images circulating on Twitter on July 28 show convoys of Muslim Brotherhood supporters heading that way. The base houses thousands of U.S. and NATO military personnel and has served an important role in the U.S.-led coalition’s aerial operations against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria.
Anti-U.S. sentiment has risen in Turkey following the July 15 failed coup. Many in the country have suggested the United States played a role in the attempted coup and have demanded the air base be closed. Turkey’s government blames Fethullah Gulen, a powerful religious and opposition leader currently living in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania, for the attempted putsch. Ankara has demanded his extradition.
Thanks for the ping.
Here’s a good batch of photos of current operations:

I believe that has been disproven.
Fine, have it your way. Go find newspapers (in the microfiche section) and do your own research. Turkey has never been a secure environment for any US base.
BTW this would not be the first time radical locals have attempted to attack a US base - with disastrous results for the attackers.
And BTW you have nothing to back up/prove your claims except conjecture and reports of dubious nature - like disinformation is never part of any US mil actions ...
How do you know what those vaults are suitable for? Who told you that this was a weapons transfer? You just seem to spread FUD when ever this topic arises.
The Armenian genocide was long before jet planes and napalm

Benghazi writ large.
Where is John F’ing Kerry?
“I believe that has been disproven.”
I believe that (said to have been) disproven. The US mil always publically announces the locations of nuke storage ( /s) ... The disproven (sic) is all conjecture and disinformation.
See the link in my post 65 regarding the nukes stored at Incirlik:
“According to Hans M. Kristensen, the director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, underground vaults at Incirlik hold about fifty B-61 hydrogen bombs—more than twenty-five per cent of the nuclear weapons in the NATO stockpile.
The nuclear yield of the B-61 can be adjusted to suit a particular mission. The bomb that destroyed Hiroshima had an explosive force equivalent to about fifteen kilotons of TNT.
In comparison, the “dial-a-yield” of the B-61 bombs at Incirlik can be adjusted from 0.3 kilotons to as many as a hundred and seventy kilotons.”
Thank you for posting, the images are a far better reminder than words of our armed forces protecting freedom around the world. God Bless them all.
As well as our own Terrorist in Chief. Just in time to declare martial law, war and suspend the election.
Whenever I read about convoys of towelheads, I’m always reminded of the scenes from the “highway of death” leading out of Kuwait into Iraq. Mile after mile of burnt-out, blasted hulks rendered so by American A-10s, Apaches, and F-15s.
“Target-rich” might be a good way to describe a rat parade.
Proof is there4 for those that are not pushing 0bama’s agenda.
And those “islamic demonstrators” having been easily repulsed in the [past? Are you referring to the street demonstrators in Tehran that took over the US embassy and held Americans hostage for more than 400 days?
This is a military op. But we will hear continued bleeting from those that went to Baghdad Bob’s “Trust Me University” who tell us it is nothing to worry about.
Amen, and you’re welcome.

Thanks for the link.
The disproven (sic) is all conjecture and disinformation.
It is also conjecture that the weapons have been removed.
Your arrogance in correcting my English does not prove your case.
THAT’S the picture! I guess I should have read the whole thread.
Referring to the strafing and napalming of demonstrators in Ankara,Turkey in the 60s - you will not find that story in any paper as in was classified at the time and may well still be.
Islam does not qualify for First Amendment protections. It is not (just) a religion but a system of government and “laws” that is inconsistent with Western notions of individual liberty.
“sic” refers to a quotation not your English usage.
Not conjecture - as such proofs of things are not in the public domain beyond what was reported decades ago in the newspapers - hence the microfiche search.
