I've seen the videos of soldiers being pulled out of tanks or being surrounded by crowds and immobilized. No video like the kid you were talking with names. I also must conclude what he's reporting means the fighting is still going on, while the news makes it sound like everything is over and done. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-18389994133961934012016-07-17T10:37:30.965-04:002016-07-17T10:37:30.965-04:00I'm talking to a kid on a music forum that liv...I'm talking to a kid on a music forum that lives in turkey. He says that it was a full on war zone last night and this morning, with gun ships spraying the crowds, F16's , running air strikes, and tanks with infantry manning road blocks & shooting at people. He says it looks like a "war movie" outside his apartment, with bodies in the street and burning cars/buildings. He says the "News isn't telling the truth". For whatever its worth.---RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-43852746653429315382016-07-17T00:54:50.026-04:002016-07-17T00:54:50.026-04:00A few minutes ago I read a statement that claimed ...A few minutes ago I read a statement that claimed this may have been a false flag incident perpetrated by Erdogan to strengthen his position against the anti-Islamist people in his country: “After his Istanbul speech, many commentators suggest that Turkish coup attempt was ‘staged,’ as the President called it a ‘gift from Allah,’” by Irene Kostaki, New Europe, July 16, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace). From Robert Spencer's Jihad Watch.<br /><br />Obama has personally informed Erdogan that he supports him. I would think that makes any statement from Erdogan implying war against the U.S. to be simply posturing, playing to the crowd of his Islamist supporters in Turkey. Or maybe he plans to hold-up Obama for a few more billions of our taxed income.Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.com
