Didn’t the Turkish government arrest some officers a few months back?
Big article the other day on how the Young Turks of the Moslem movement/government have been clamping down on the Old Turks of the military, thus gutting it of leaders who could oppose an Islamic dictatorship.
The author was of the opinion that it is too late now for the military to stage a coup.
Forgot who wrote the article but it may have been from the British press.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Makes sense, it is an act of war.
For those raising the NATO issue, NATO is a defensive pact, which in my view is no longer relevant. NATO members are in no way obligated to join Turkey in an attack on another nation, Israel. NATO supported the USA in Afghanistan, it was the nominal source of the 9/11 attack. NATO didn't participate in the Iraq war, despite UN approval, since it wasn't a defensive action. It's a non issue. If Turkey pushes this, it's because they want to give Hizbollah reason to launch an attack in north. A pretty good distraction as Iran completes their first bombs. One which could easily backfire as Israel might not be distracted from the Iranian threat.

It is hard to keep up with those crazies one minute all is well then a outburst.
