The White House hailed the result, as a NATO member falls into the islamist orbit.

Welllllllllll, they weren’t exactly our BFF’s.
Remember, we had troops massed on their border to invade Iraq and they pulled the plug on us at the last minute allowing a shitload of Saddamites to melt into the crowd instead of getting dead.

The United States and the European Union have hailed the results from Turkey's referendum on a package of changes to the country's military-era constitution.
The High Election Board is expected to announce the official results later today. With nearly all votes from the September 12 referendum counted, some 58 percent of Turks voted in favor of the 26 proposed amendments, which would curb the military’s power and reshape the judiciary. Turnout was 77 percent.
Hailing the results, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkish democracy was the “winner.”

However, opposition parties say Erdogan and his Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP) are trying to secure a further hold on power and steer the country away from its traditional secularism.
The White House said President Barack Obama called Erdogan to congratulate him and “acknowledged the vibrancy of Turkey's democracy as reflected in the turnout” for the referendum.

This is not good at all, and it’s no surprise that Mullah Bambi “hailed” it.

Good thing they were in charge of the NATO air wing and have all our secrets. I cannot believe I am witnessing this.

“...The revisions in question, proposed by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), target the two elements of the national government that have most steadfastly sought to enforce Turkeys Kemalist tradition of secularism: the military and the courts. AKP has pressed an overtly Islamist agenda since its formation from the older Islamist Virtue Party in 2002. But up to now, AKP has been stymied by the stature of the military general staff and the secularist tradition of the courts.”
“The new reforms approved by the voters remove those checks. One will allow Prime Minister Erdogan to try in civil court the military-coup plotters who seized control of the government in 1980, when Turkey was beset by internal violence. This power will prevent the military from serving as a check on radicalized political majorities. In a change much like FDRs court-stacking proposal of 1937, another constitutional revision expands the nations constitutional court from 11 to 17 judges and provides that the prime minister will appoint 14 of them, with the legislature choosing the other three.”
