Following the failed Turkish coup, U.S. military operations out of Turkey’s giant Incirlik Air Base - critical in the ongoing campaign against ISIS - came to a halt Saturday afternoon as the Turkish military closed the airspace around the base and suspended all US-led operations, mostly targeting the Islamic State.

I hope someone knows the answers.
I think this could be the worst day since 9-11 and Obama is certainly golfing....
And Obama refused to bomb ISIS’s oil convoys because the CO2 would contribute to global warming.
Are there still nukes at Incirlik? If so, it may be a good idea to send the 509th in there to secure them.
Just saying...

Incirlik under attack ! Someone posted a new thread.
I’m sure they have been disabled and if need be a 3 digit code will permanently disable them
Someone’s tweet.
#Obama just earned the “Jimmy Carter 1979 Iran situation” badge! #TurkeyCoup = Iranian revolution!
yes, we should have bombed the crap out of every ISIS vehicle from the beginning, especially all those oil tankers. As usual, we have a POTUS who makes our military fight with both hands tied.
unless somebody here knows somebody on Hildebeast's email chain.
B61 administrative procedures performed by ground-based personnel are executed via an access panel located on the side of the bomb, which opens to reveal 9 dials, 2 sockets and a T-handle which manually triggers the “command disable” function. One of the sockets is a MC4142 “strike enable” plug which must be inserted in order to complete critical circuits in the safety/arming and firing mechanisms. The other socket is the PAL connector located in the top right hand corner of the arming panel, which has 23 pins marked with alphabetic letter codes.
The B61 also features a “command disable” mechanism, which functions as follows: after entering the correct 3-digit numeric code it is then possible to turn a dial to “DI” and pull back a T-shaped handle which comes away in the user’s hand. This action releases a spring-loaded firing pin which fires the percussion cap on an MC4246A thermal battery, powering it up. Electrical power from the thermal battery is sufficient to “fry” the internal circuitry of the bomb, destroying critical mechanisms without causing detonation. This makes the bomb incapable of being used. Any B61 which has had the command disable facility used must be returned to Pantex for repair
how reliable are your sources?
Cue John Kerry to stand down.
Nice to read a balanced post. The frenzy and pretzel twisting of Scripture to fit headlines doesn’t work.
Permanently.
Can the fissionable material in an inert weapon be extracted for use elsewhere? THAT is what I would worry about with an islamuck country.
AMEN!
I doubt they could pull together even a fake coup that quickly after Nice.
This has been in the works for a while.
What other NATO country is 99.8% muzzie...
Aside from Cologne, London, quelques arrondissiments in Paris, and most of official DC, you mean?
Agreed, supported and funded by the Barak Hussein Obama Regime. Duck and cover, Kids.
Yes short term....... emergency destruct measures render them a paperweight , useless ....... shy off a reverse engineering coup but the nukes are safe if troops do their jobs.
