Reported military coup in Turkey

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/15/asia/t...ilitary-action
Before you say "Who cares", this is good for the war on terror.The current government has been less restrictive in the role of Islam in political life.Turkey is the one Muslim country in the Middle East in which Islam, both positively and negatively, has limited influence in the country's political affairs Apparently the French attack was the last straw.

Huge news and very positive for the region and the world.
It makes me so happy to see another of Obama's good close Muslim friends and allies run out of the country with citizens cheering and celebrating in the streets.

Not so sure it's good for the US

I thought Erdogan was voted in. if so there's a sizeable population that will be Hostile to US if we keep a base and continue to Bomb Syria.. and ISIS will take advantage of it and so will the Kurds. People predicted this in 2003. the whole house of cards would collapse.

Egypt has been a mess since it's take Military over. Just waiting for the next eruption and newest Terrorist Mullah to come out of the Egyptian Prison System.

It is vital that this coup is successful. Too many members of the current government are loyal to Islamist fundamentalists. Of course Obama is supporting the current regime.

That is not good enough, if Tayyip Erdogan makes a comeback he will become the Antichrist.
