“What does Shooting in Army General Staff mean?”
My guess is that the top brass were Muzzy Goons of the Administration. Maybe they were taken out and the Military Coup was on.
Erdogan...and Obama... have been very clever about disguising their intentions. First, they were mild, but at the same time went about replacing and retiring top military officers with those they thought personally loyal to them. Then they grew bolder.
With Erdogan, this boldness took the form of executive power-grabs and explicit Islamist support. With Obama, it's been a bit more subtle. The executive power grab is there, but the Islamist cloak is more opaque. If you look at Obama's appointments, they became increasingly Islamic or black militant with the passage of time.
The question of the day is whether or not there's enough of the Turkish Army command intact to straighten things out and toss Erdogan. You're right, it should have happened years ago.
Obama’s Jihadis need a new route to Syria
Turkey wasn’t exactly a go-to destination before today.
Erdogan purged the senior officers a few years ago and put in generals he thought would be loyal to his islamic government.
I expect anything between now and November / January.
Yeah, been saying that for a few months.

Apparently he miscalculated. Stalin is the guidepost for how to stay in power as a dictator. He would never have been caught in something like this. He routinely purged his top military people every so many years. He stopped for a while during WWII, but started up again not long after the end of the war.
Not good. I have a friend who left with her family for Turkey yesterday, not sure exactly when she was supposed to arrive.
Just now being picked up by the BBC World News.

Post #13 ~ indiginous, or has Obama found some even worse IslamoNazis to “install” in Ankara?
Hmmm... May the coup succeed!
Ping.
