Equivalent to Al-Sisi ousting Morsi?, that's a good thing.
Come, on Obama - threaten military intervention, you moron!
Allah ‘ FUBAR !
Next year in Constantinople.
I wonder if the army is finally acting as the Protector of the Republic as specified in the Constitution.
Sometimes, often WAY after it is too late to stop bloodshed, constitutions wake up and kick tyranny’s ass.
I rather hope they seize, try and institute Justice before Obama gets a chance to rescue the puke “erdogan”....
and restore their once GOOD relations with Israel and the WEST. We take care of the Turkey problem... and Putin takes care of the IRAN problem. Works for me.
Agreed. Will Obama decry the takeover of a democratically elected government or will he treat it as an internal matter for Turkey to resolve.

Erdogan is in one of his buddies mansions on the Aegean Sea and asking the people to come out in the streets against martial law!
What do 10,000 lives of civilian matter to him?
Maybe the mansion is surrounded by ‘loyal’ navy units.
reports on Twitter that Erdogan wanted to land in Germany and was refused!
Reports on Twitter that Erdogan is urging citizens to take to the streets in protest.
Won’t that get them shot?
He’s blaming the Islamists for the coup attemp....
Turkey spring?
LOL!
Reports are he is seeking sanctuary in Germany
I’m all but certain Obama/Kerry/Clinton will bring Erdogan here.
I don’t the military has full control yet. The fact that Erdogan and his PM are at large and calling for the people to go into the streets is not good. Also, it is now reported that there has been a large explosion at state run TV and it is off the air.
I meant to post here instead of PM. Sorry about that! I shouldn’t attempt to multi-task. Doesn’t work very well. Anyway, my husband went there for a couple of weeks a few years ago to shoot wheat fields for a Kellogg’s commercial. He said it was beautiful. He’s following this pretty closely as he still has contact with people he worked with over there.
Another authority on the matter is Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
Erdogan is a fundamentalist Islamist. That right there all but guarantees Obama will bring him here.
Yer' dern tootin!

Editor’s note: Turkey has the second largest Army in NATO, after the U.S., The Guardian reports. Turkey has allowed U.S. aircraft to use the Incirlik air base in the fight against the Islamic State, and the hypothetical loss of that ability could be a blow to the coalition’s efforts in Syria. - Stephanie
