Turks Can Agree on One Thing: U.S. Was Behind Failed Coup With emphasis on 'Failed', this is quite plausible.
The Jarrett regime probably was involved in a pre-doomed Coup to enhance Erogan's grip on Turkey. They created the environment to take out thousands and thousands of opponents.
Has the Jarrett regime been practicing around the world with these structured coups (starting with the really-failed coup attempt in Honduras 8 years ago) to try and get good at it before a domestic version of it?

That’s what makes it so hard to believe, Obama and Kerry leading a coup against Turkey? So very hard to believe.

Who would have believed that Obama would deliberately allow guns to be shipped to the drug cartels in Mexico.

True, but Obama and Kerry are such wieners its hard to believe they would do anything that would involve violence.

When the coup failed I suspected that Obama was behind it.
The boy king loves to overthrow foreign governments. And always fails.

No they love violence. They have no problem risking the lives of other people.

Were our president not a Muslim himself and a defender of “the prophet”, I might actually believe the story.

You’re right, Obama and Kerry screw up everything they touch.

While the US government has been behind some coup attempts over the years, some successful, others not, I have serious doubts that the current regime would ever support a coup attempt against a muslim hard-liner. Let's face it Erdagon (sp?) is trying to roll back most of the secular changes that Ataturk (sp?) implemented after the ottoman empire. Barky and his gang just LOVE hard-line muslims. He turned a blind eye to the "Green Revolution" in Iran, while being all-for their expansion into Iraq, Syria, and Egypt (muslim brotherhood.)
So, no. I don't believe that Barky would have even supported the coup. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Barky was strongly opposed to it.
