The European Union condemned the police action, saying it went "against the European values" that Turkey aspires to as it seeks membership in the bloc.

Obama's flack says: "As Turkey's friend and ally, we urge the Turkish authorities to ensure their actions do not violate these core values and Turkey's own democratic foundations."

I don’t see a thread but The story I’m getting on twitter is that hostages are being held at a Sidney Australia cafe and are being forced to hold an ISIS flag at the window.

This is perhaps the most terrifying news of the day. I believe we count on Turkey to hold the line against extremism, and for decades they did. (Not that Obama cares.)

Erdogan needs to go.

Thanks BenLurkin. As crappy as Erdogan is, his successor is likely to be much worse. Erdogan’s defanged the Turkish military, which means that once Erdogan’s been removed by force, and replaced with a cleric, the army won’t be in a position to remove him, as the Egyptian army was able to remove Morsi.

Turkey’s Erdogan signals fresh moves against Gulen supporters

Obama names Turkish PM Erdoğan among trusted friends

Now we know why. Obama would be happy with a handful of Fox hosts and a few websites.
