The Turkish military is pissed off and will replace the civilian government again if this doesn't change and quick...watch and see.Good analysis. Hopefully everyone who is anyone in Turkey will recognize this and act accordingly.

The Turkish military is a shell of its former self. The Ataturk spirit is gone. They have allowed Islamists bring the Turkish state to ruins. Time is rapidly running out.

I hope that I am correct. The Turkish military has always been the most pragmatic of institutions and never allowed the Islamicists to gain a foothold in over 70 years. This is a true test for the U.S.-Turk relationship and I hope I'm right. If not, then we might as well seal the borders, terminate our treaty obligations and become 100% isolationist; including Canada and Mexico.
