[Original title too long: American Soldiers At Incirlik AFB In Turkey Are Under Active Siege Right Now By Erdogan, All Food, Water, And Power Has Been Cut To The Base]
While Americans are bickering about the election this November, what we predicted two weeks ago is under way right now: a repeat of the horrors of Ben Ghazi.
So far I have not received reports about the status of the soldiers, or that Incirlik AFB in Turkey has been taken over by Erdogan. However, the situation is not good and is actively worsening. This does not just come from on the ground Twitter reports, but from the website for Incirlik AFB itself
[see article at link for graphic display]
Above is a screenshot from the Incirlik AFB website, which has the following update: Due to an extended loss of commercial power to the base, including food, water, and fuel were delivered to sustain missions here at Incirlik.
Food? Water? Fuel? Electricity? An extended loss? Having to fly in supplies like with West Berlin during the Cold War? This can mean only one thing, which the site is saying without saying it: Incirlik AFB is under active siege right now from the Turkish government and the US Military is covering it up.
This is very serious. Our so-called ally is attacking our own soldiers and yet our government is keeping them stationed there. I have not seen reports otherwise, but from [what] I have seen there is no indication that the 1500 US military personnel currently stationed there are being withdrawn.
If any other nation in the world started attacking an American military base, it would be rightly so considered an act of war. However, the fact that Incirlik is under siege right now and nothing is being done to stop the attack, and the US Government is instead flying in provisions to sustain operations there means that the US government is participating in putting US soldiers in harms way with no real end goal in mind. It is, just as I feared, setting up our soldiers for a massacre that will be used to further foreign policy goals at the expense of their lives.
As a reminder, if you are an American or a Christian in Turkey, get out while you still can, because just like with Ben Ghazi, if you dont you will be on your own.

The situation has not changed; there is no let-up in the siege of U.S.A. military stationed at Incirlik.
Out for comments.

Don’t worry. They’ll get the order to evacuate just as soon as the Turks have their hands on the nuke stockpile.
After all - it’s not fair that ISIS and the Mozlem Brudderhood don’t have nukes like Israel.

But Erdogan was democratically elected...says Obama...and therefore whatever he says goes.
Where's our nukes??

Shoebat.com should change to Batshit.com, Nearly everything they post is exaggerated or flat out wrong.
NO other sources are reporting this.

OF COURSE NOT....
This would make Democrats look bad, and as we should all realize by now, the Media likes those cushy high-paying jobs, and wants to keep them. Reporting things like this could be a career-ender.

King Obama is in total agreement with the siege by Turkey. King Obama is a communists black Muslim terrorist why would he not agree in the deaths of our base and personnel.
Trump for President.

from the Air Force Magazine... sent to me a few days ago and at the end of this will link current status article image of AFA logo image of advertisement image of advertisement Daily Report Monday, July 25, 2016 Power Back at Incirlik, Life Returns to Normal BRIAN EVERSTINE Power returned to Incirlik AB, Turkey, on July 22about six days after the failed coup attempt led to it being cut off and US Air Force jets being grounded. The base was able to use backup generators to launch and recover aircraft as part of the fight against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and photographs posted by Incirlik public affairs showed life as normal on the base while the power was still out. Army Col. Christopher Garver, spokesman for Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve, said during a Friday briefing that "impact on the ground was exceedingly minimal" because the coalition was able to shift air tasking orders and plans to continue airstrikes when Incirlik couldn't launch aircraft. The coalition used additional air refueling flights to send aircraft from other bases into north Iraq and Syria, the same thing it did before the coalition was able to use the Turkish base. "We were able to shift responsibilities and air plans around to make sure that it was absolutely a minimal impact to the fight on the ground," Garver said. "And now, we are flying again. There's power again. So we expect operations to get back to normal." During the power outage, generators were able to keep air conditioning and other necessities going. "The troops there have been eating, they have had showers, they have had Wi-Fi, but things are starting to get uncomfortable, so it came back on just at the right time," Garver said. Airmen from the 728th Air Mobility Squadron push a pallet of meals, ready to eat onto rollers, July 19, 2016, at Incirlik AB, Turkey. Due to an extended loss of commercial power, food, fuel and other supplies were sent to Incirlik to sustain missions in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. Air Force photo by TSgt. Joshua T.

If we ever do get control back, we should round up every frigging journalist in this country and offer them a blindfold and a cigarette.

Every one laughed at my post when the so called coup was going on. I reported that water and electricity has been cut. It’s ongoing. Turkey wants that base
The DiC is doing nothing

obama and Hillary are searching for a way to blame on Dinesh. Then the media will be blaring it 24 hours a day. just be patient, as soon as obama, Hillary, and the media figure out how to blame it on Donald, Diesh, or both they will be on it around the clock.
