It succeeded
He's on holiday leave. This coup was timed intentionally. Edrogan may never set foot in Istanbul again.Well I will wait to hear what happened to Edrogan, and where he currently is before I go that far.
attempt. Don't know if pro or anti government troops involved.
Certainly living in some interesting times!

Hopefully Turkish military sends a team to Germany and puts a bullet in his head.
Well, The Turkish military does this periodically, every 15 years are so. Seems that's how long it takes for Islamic tendencies to start permeating their gov't. Can only be a good thing.
There have only been 4 military coups in 50 years. I think it is great, Erdogan was consolidating power and replacing secularists in the police and military with Islamists. Just hoping this coup was well planned, i.e. Taking out (arresting) key figureheads in the National Police and key members of Erdogan's military staff.
Obama supports Erdogan.
Baraka Allahu fikaObama supports Erdogan.
We can not publicly support a coup. Especially when the government being over thrown is a democracy.Obama supports Erdogan.

They didn't actually put him into power. They were pushing for democratic elections and the Muslim Brotherhood won, which they weren't anticipating.Big surprise! Actually no surprise, after he and Hillary put that Muslim Brotherhood guy into power in Egypt, gave him military aircraft and over a billion dollars. Thank goodness the Egyptian people didn't put up with it.
Not sure why this is hard for you to understand. Not surprising thoughBS. The Turkish will remain a democracy when it's all said and done. The Turks have wanted to have secular democratic gov't for a long time. This guy was getting more and more Islamic and all powerful. The coup is more to restore democratic gov't.
Jesus. I get you hate Obama..... but he had no other choice but to come out and support Erdogan. Not sure why this is hard to understandOf course.
But we can publicly denounce democratic referendums in other countries?

What's hard to understand, but not surprising, are the folks who defend Obama regardless.Not sure why this is hard for you to understand. Not surprising though
Okay bud, not sure i've ever defended Obama on this board besides from my OP. He did the logical, and only thing he could do in this situationWhat's hard to understand, but not surprising, are the folks who defend Obama regardless.
What's hard to understand, but not surprising, are the folks who blame him for everything under the sun. It's like those who play the race card at every junction.What's hard to understand, but not surprising, are the folks who defend Obama regardless.

Get off your soapbox. Hate/dislike/criticize/disagree whatever, don't care what you call it, He made the right and only decision he could make in supporting Erdogan.Hold on there sir... don't paint me with a broad brush. I do not hate our President. I disagree with most of his views and plenty of his parties politics, but I do not hate our C.I.C. I've never stated as much. It concerns me when one cannot be critical of the government without being labeled... as you've just done.
I posted a fact... and in that fact I also tried to show the hypocrisy of which this Adm. is guilty of in several instances. Within minutes of this coup, our Adm posted support for the current regime because ya know... we support democratic elected, selected officials and referendums... unless it doesn't match what narrative they want us to hear.
No sir, I do not hate our President... for the very reasons I support and admire our democratic institutions. And I can disagree, I can criticize, and I can protest against his views without being labeled as such.
