ISTANBUL — A Turkish newspaper reported that an American academic and former State Department official had helped orchestrate a violent conspiracy to topple the Turkish government from a fancy hotel on an island in the Sea of Marmara, near Istanbul. The same newspaper, in a front-page headline, flat-out said the United States had tried to assassinate President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the night of the failed coup.
When another pro-government newspaper asked Turks in a recent poll conducted on Twitter which part of the United States government had supported the coup plotters, the C.I.A. came in first, with 69 percent, and the White House was a distant second, with 20 percent.

Take a note for next time.
If only this were even within the realm of the possible....those limp wrists couldn’t be more Erdogan.
Nothing consolidates radical islam behind a would-be dictator like blaming the international Great Satan, the good ol’ USA.
The Turkish people are trying to trick me into liking Obama.</s>
wow, I thought that Obozo + Hillary + Kerry were supposed to give us better relations with the entire world.
Instead, our foreign policy is in the toilet, isn’t it?
Funny how that works. When a pub was in the W.H., everything was Bush’s fault. When a dem is in, it is the fault of the U.S.
What would be entirely incredible would be if Obama’s government backed a coup and it actually succeeded.
He, they, often instigate and foment, but the results never turn out like they intend.
Billy Joels song, “We didn’t start the fire” should be redone taking away the negative.
What a relief. Vegas was betting on Soros. /s
Ousting Erdogan is a good idea, so we can rest assured that our current regime was not behind it.
Where’s our coup?
The stud from Indonesia should have been ‘couped’ over seven year’s ago. In fact, like Hillary, should never been running for president.
Those three are the political version of the three stooges.
Virtually every single thing that libs list to slander the United States occurred with a dim in the White House and/or with dimocrat support.
If the “Three Stooges” had anything to do with the attempted coup in Turkey, no wonder it failed, that bunch of political losers has been failing at every task they have initiated. Why the big surprise?
I thought that all the Turks agreed with Armenian cleansing.
Blame the US, blame the Zionists.
A tried and true tactic.
what you are all missing...
There was NOT a very big coup attempt— destined to fail-
looks like erdogan WAS NOT in direct danger-
Gee... I wonder who would want an ISIS supporter to stay in power?- the Russians are the ones that SHUT down the illicit Isis oil traffic into Turkey- not the U.S.—
This is just like Libya, and Egypt- O’bummer,Hitlerly,
traitor Kerry- supporting our enemies (and getting kick backs for doing so)
I’m sure Hussein and JoKe will gladly let them Benghazi all the nukes from our airbase to make up for it.
