He’s Baghdad Bobbing it.
Its possible but don’t you think the restraint we have seen by the military would not be so if led by Islamists?
More propaganda...why would Islamists kill an Islamist leader who is giving them what they want
Yep. Drudge announced that the coup just failed.
why do you say that?
He is out of the country isn’t he?
“The country’s leader is making a statement on the military coup.”
It’d be a real shame if some Turkish patriot took out this islamo-dictator.
Wow..!
Very sobering.
Good post.
Ominous.
Turkey to become a sandy Cambodia..?
Anything appears possible, if that guess is correct.
I went out to dinner with my son before 8 p.m., and that's what was being reported. I got back here about a half hour ago (9:15), and Fox News is saying the military coup is taking place. What's the real deal?
What the hell, Erdogan flying around during a coup?
Hopefully there is one guy with a rifle and a conscience somewhere around him.
That’s right.
Drudge headline:
COUP FAILED.
I generally trust Matt.
“..Or he’s a soon to be dead dictator...”
My thoughts exactly. I would not sell him a life insurance policy.
I asked very early on whether this was an Islamist coup or secular. The irony of this suggests Erdogan’s slow actions toward Islamist rule is being hastened by this ‘coup’ which may be more a collusion by Erdogan himself to hasten the implementation of Sharia. Thoughts?
Erdogan’s “Reichstag Fire” Succeeded.
Where’s a drone when you need one.
It was attempted and it failed.
Yep. Collusion or at least tacit agreement.
I suspect the Coup Leaders will be “executed”, but in reality, they’ll be quietly given new identities.
Drudge has a very good record for accuracy.
