please succeed! Erdogan is an Islamist who has no place in government, or in life.

[rbg81]

Good—hope it succeeds.

[afsnco]

I sure hope this is true...

Another hugely bad development for Obama, since Erdogan is an Islamist (too).

Under Erdogan Turkey is a security risk to NATO.

All flights cancelled to and from Istanbul.....tanks in many Turkish cities.....state television is off the air.

All this per a Boston talk radio station.

Go Ataturk!

Putin’s paws are all over this...

Just saying.

I hope Obama does not attempt to help Erdogan using US troops or even NATO as a cover to use US troops — I have no doubt he would try to protect an Islamic state.

Down with Sultan Erdogan

IIRC - under the Turkish Constitution, the military is allowed and has a duty to intervene and depose a government that doesn't follow the Constitution.

At least twice before they have deposed the government, held new elections, and returned to their barracks.

I hope they make Erdogan’s execution public.

And so the beginning of the end. A coup in Turkey is not a good thing. The world is going to unravel very quickly from here into all out war. Or not.

[afsnco]

I hope somebody stable has seized control of the nukes...
