Funny it would be a colonel who has that opinion. They're usually the rank that takes over. :).

If the coup succeeds, on top of what happened in Egypt, it will be a seismic shift in the region's politics and a good thing.

“If the military in Turkey is overthrowing the Islamists then we can count on Obama to use military force to put the Islamists back in control.”

Obama wouldn’t know a “military force” if it bit him in his worthless butt. But then, Jarrett might.

Only if an anti-Islamist replaces the current occupant of the White House.

“Mr. Obama will go crazy when Mr. Trump is elected.”

“Mr. Obama will go crazy when Mr. Trump is elected.”

Absolutely. Prez Trump will have Egypt’s and Turkey’s backs and ISIS will be done from Libya to Syria in short order. No tens of thousands of our troops will be needed to go into the ME again.

0b0z0 must be crying about his weekend! Why didn’t they wait till he wakes up on Tuesday? Situation Room is full of juveniles now trying to find Turkey on a map!

I’m half joking!

you never want the military to overthrow an elected government

Turkey today. The US tomorrow wouldn't be a bad thing and bump up the election.

Obama would probably go to the UN and beg for the military to be ousted. Look how much he crowed about Ukraine, and Crimea. And did nothing about it.

When the Egyptian Military took over the 0bama administration basically cut them off and they found allies with Putin.

I think the timing on this is very curious.

6 months left in the 0bama administration and if Putin wanted to establish his influence in Turkey he would be running out of time.

I thought the colonel on the Howie Carr Show sounded like Colonel Hunt, but never heard his name mentioned. It probably was him. But he was really off on his assessment of what seems to happening in Turkey.

Hopefully soon he can comment on what is and isn’t happening... I am so looking forward to his wise insights.

“That’s a very interesting matchup there. Military vs. intelligence service - wonder if things are going to come down to that here as well.”

Remember Brennan is a Muslim...
