Is this from Ankara Al, Baghdad Bob’s first cousin on the Turkic side?

No, that would be Istanbul Izzy...

If it weren't for the generals in the near east (Egypt, Turkey, Libya, Jordan), jihadis would be running the whole swath of the Levant by now. That's one reason, sad to say, why our present occupant of the Oval Office dislikes them so much.

If this is a coup, then all I can say is that I am only surprised it took this long. Turkey’s military has long seen itself as the guardian of a strictly secular society that moved swiftly to depose any government whose ministers showed more religiosity than showing up for weddings, funerals and the odd mosque prayers for the top Islamic holy days. Military coups used to be quite common.

I know you probably didn’t mean it that way, but I doubt Barry is gonna walk off the world stage.

Still, I basically agree with you.

The trouble with Erdogan is he might not just be a Muslim for show, but a true believer and a jihadist at heart.

Ataturk bump/

Yep, I hope the spirit of Ataturk is being revived among the members of the Turkish army and others. Erdogan needs to go.
