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.

Be advised that local authorities are denying movements on to and off of Incirlik Air Base. The power there has also been cut. Please avoid the air base until normal operations have been restored.
In addition, the Adana airport has re-opened but flights to and from Istanbul and Ankara remain suspended. Please check the website of your airline for up to date flight information before going to the airport.
No provision for backup power? That’s disconcerting.
L
Time for another coup. A more successful one
Kick them out of NATO NOW!
It was no coup, it was a Reichstag Fire.
Stop all money to the b@stards.
They scre*** us during the gulf war....nothing’s changed...it’s all about money. And why the hell are they in NATO?
Looking more like as time goes by. Erdogan is on Stan Deyo’s list of Anti-Christs in waiting. Last night he said we would have to wait until today to see if Erdogan was going to stay on the list. I guess we have the answer.
Because they are Obamas buddies

The media likes to say “Turkey is a key NATO member and important participant in the war against ISIS”.
In fact, Turkey is our enemy, they help ISIS — and NATO has no importance in the 21st century (Putin isn’t going to invade France).
The USA needs to pull back from supposed “friends” like the UN, NATO, and countries like Pakistan and Turkey. We don’t need them. They hate us.
The Turkey Dictator should know Obama is on his side.
Seems that way.
Wont be shocked if Turkey becomes a co-belligerent against the west with ISIS.
Something also tells me the coup was orchestrated by the EU, Russia, or us with pledges of support.
Gee how convenient.
Does this mean the war against ISIS of called off? Nice going Obama!
Yes, I am thinking exactly this as well.
OSINT says B61s moved out of Greece and Turkey a long time ago. (1995-2003) Current deployments either confirmed by DoD/NATO, or suspected by FAS include: Kleine Brogel and Büchel AFB in Germany, Volkel AFB in the Netherlands, Aviano and Ghedi in IT.
Isn’t Turkey either Gog or Magog, as foretold by the Prophet Ezekiel?
Could this be “The hooks in his jaws”, foretold?

Artifact of the Cold War. They were the only country that actually bordered on the Soviet Union. Great for listening posts. And for placing missiles.
Meh, the Soviets could have had Turkey for all I care. Would have saved us a lot of trouble down the road.
