Erdogan will turn the base over to his new friends ,the Russians

[HangUpNow]

ONLY under Der Bama.

He'd surrender DC and the Pentagram if he could.

[darkwing104]

More likely he just wants everyone else out so his Air Force can provide air cover for ISIS while they attack the Kurds on the ground in Northern Iraq and Syria.

He serves the lord of the Pentagram.

Is that a picture from his presser regarding the Munich massacre?

And from the White Hut . . .

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

[HangUpNow]

He IS DARK Lord of the Pentagram, lol.

You haven’t been paying attention if you think there’s much friendship there.

Parliament has enabled him to issue decrees that have the force of law without judicial or even parliamentary approval.

NATO was founded when another autocrat was given powers like this had been defeated.

And these are our supposed allies in the Islamic world?

Rubbish. Pure rubbish.

Ben Ghazi Turkey style.

[RoosterRedux]

Power was restored yesterday.

When does the Incirlik Airlift begin? Why aren’t flying in supplies to the base, if necessary, under cover of aircraft from our carriers in the eastern Med?

Only in Barak Obama’s America would an America air base located inside the borders of Turkey and about 30 miles of the Mediterranean coast equipped with dozens of A-10 ground attack aircraft and F-16, F-15 nuclear capable fighter aircraft armed with 50 thermonuclear weapons and backed by the combined strength of the entire US Military in the region including Naval Aircraft Carriers and Marine Assault Ships just off shore be considered under siege and at risk by Turkey.

Seems to me, in a normal world, Turkey is the one who had the problem and should be the worried party. There was a really easy way to dispose of any MK 61 nuclear bombs at Incirlik on very short notice and that disposal method is one which Turkey would not like one bit.

Under any other American President, Turkey would begging for our forgiveness for even inconveniencing Americans stationed in Turkey and if they so much as made any threats towards the base Turkey's military would cease to exist.

Power was restored to the base on July 22.

The article was posted on the 23rd. It was written on the 20th. It's a gamble writing such pieces because you'll never know what is going to happen the next day.

As for the news reports regarding the restoration of power probably were written last week and updated to reflect that power was restored Friday.

Anyway I am glad the Airmen are safe and can perform their task. Now they will need to implement plans to remove additional assets out of the country.
