Why are we sending a diplomat instead of marines?

With obama in charge, you can see where this is heading.

He finally gets to give nukes away.

Obama is okay with this. It disses America and our military. That’s why the media is ignoring it.

“... the base has become a point of contention for Turkish nationalists with over 5,000 nationalists charging towards the base on Thursday chanting “death to the US” and demanding that the “Yankees go home” or that the Incirlik base be shuttered immediately.”

“Then on Saturday, over 7,000 armed Turkish security forces joined by heavy vehicles surrounded the Incirlik Air Base restricting any access to or away from the facility.”

Have the Turks made a side deal with Iran?

I was wondering when Erdogan would move to seize our nukes there.

Idiotic. Even the tweet they included says July 30.

They should have changed the date on the tweet so moderate idiots would be confused too.

He will surrender all the air conditioners on the base as long as the Turks promise not to plug them in and thereby exacerbate any sort of global warming.

As I predicted even while the aborted coup was in process, Erdogan is exploiting the incident to increase his personal power. The question is how far will he go and what are his motivations. As of now the degree of repression indicates that he intends to go full dictator.

His motivations are not clear. He has recently shown an alarming tendency to push historically secular Turkey toward radical Islam but it is not clear whether he himself is a radical Islamist. The manner in which Obama handles this affair at the airport has the potential to shape this election. The manner in which Erdogan handles the matter will demonstrate much about his allegiances to Islam.

I repeat my reaction during the coup, the good news in this affair, if there is any, is that Turkey might well be denied membership in the European Union and, conceivably, Angela Merkel's misguided visa policy might be interdicted. It might even have implications for the unrestrained flow of refugees into the European Union. Turkey's position in NATO will surely be called into question and the entire structure of NATO will be reviewed as a result especially coming as it does with Trump's remarks concerning the funding levels of certain countries.

Obama has a certain amount of leeway to operate because Turkey is not directly allied with Russia, but rather is nearly a belligerent.

It goes without saying that under no circumstances can the United States permit the nuclearized weapons to fall into Turkish hands. It is also a stink bomb for Hillary if there is a standoff at the airport with Americans semi-hostages within.

Well, I hope that the troops all have a loaded magazine or two stashed away like we did back in the old days when the Politicians and Perfumed Princes sent us into potential harm’s way, without ammo.

With the Muslim Brohood, Brennan, running the CIA, Kerry has probably been in the loop from weeks before the faux coup. The CIA nor the FBI serve the American people any longer. We The People have been usurped and can’t even see it!

Wait - what? We've moved on from blaming Bush? When did this happen? Why wasn't I informed!?!?!?

That would not surprise me. The state department is good at that! These are the same idiots that didn’t see the Berlin wall coming down until the bricks started hitting them in the head.
