please succeed! Erdogan is an Islamist who has no place in government, or in life.

Another hugely bad development for Obama, since Erdogan is an Islamist (too).

Under Erdogan Turkey is a security risk to NATO.

Maybe Erdogan will wind up deposed and de-balled like Mohammed Morsi of Egypt. He was on top of the Egyptian Muslim world for a good while, and was best buds with Obola.

Do we know if the attempted coup is more Islamist or secularist?

All flights cancelled to and from Istanbul.....tanks in many Turkish cities.....state television is off the air.

All this per a Boston talk radio station.

I would not be surprised to find out Putin had a little something to do with encouraging this.

I hope Obama does not attempt to help Erdogan using US troops or even NATO as a cover to use US troops — I have no doubt he would try to protect an Islamic state.

That’s what I’m thinking.

Certainly after Putin said the U.S. and NATO are attempting to surround Russia.

I doubt it, but he's probably watching the TV cheering the news, after Turkey downed one of his jets.

Erdogan is being removed for the same reasons as Morsi was in Egypt: his attempt at "fundamental transformation" of Turkey.
