Obama backs the Islamist. Hmm...

Backing American interests.

His interpretation of American interests.

Which is a correct and intelligent interpretation.

It's alright. Anzu was out of the country at the time, and is safe.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

QuoteGen. Wesley Clark on CNN saying the coup plotters made "a lot of mistakes—not arresting the president, not shutting off the internet..."

Heh, Wes is correct, but it's a little concerning a retired General is arm-chair quarterbacking a coup.

Hans would agree. Seedy thinks you're the devil.

If Hans was in the Turkish military, he would have just gotten Erdogan fired.

The video MSNBC was showing of soldiers surrendering makes things look pretty bad for the coup.

It's dead, it's been dead for a while.  Maybe it's the best they could do after Erdogan pre-emptively cracked down on them, but that was not nearly enough.

I'm still hoping for a sudden resurgence during the daytime, but I'm not holding my breath.  :(
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Hey, at least a lot of people died, that should make you guys a little happy.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Turkey seems to have irrevocably turned a corner towards Islamism.  That really sucks. How do we kick them out of NATO?
