Apparently, they've already assigned the new ambassador to the U.S....

Wonder if Obama will pull the same stunt he did with Honduras.

A coup is long overdue in Turkey. Put Erdogan in shackles, try him for corruption, and jail him for life.

As I recall Atatürk set up the system there so that the military is supposed to intervene to protect Turkey from a theocratic takeover. A friend did some contract work in Turkey many years back. He had a beard but shaved it because the military guys were distrustful. Thought he might be an Islamist. Lol!
