The Left Wing Nut known as The Atlantic? You use that as a source on something? They are as partisan as you can possibly get.

She got rewarded with the Secretary of State job. Not a bad launching pad if you don't screw it up. Benghazi was her responsibility. She didn't take the fall for Obama. She screwed it up all by herself. She had the authority to recall the ambassador when it is too dangerous. To have left an ambassador in a country…

The Bernie supporters certainly all know about it.

Wikileaks merely let the American citizens see the charade that the DNC was neutral to be brazenly false. I also don't believe they can determine if it was a Russian hack or not. IP addresses can be easily spoofed and information left to make it look like someone else. The Russians are not IT amateurs. It also seems…

The DNC wants to talk about ANYTHING but the content of the emails. That certainly implies that they are true. I don't see the DNC denying the email contents. Enough said. I don't care who hacked them. If the DNC had truly been neutral, the emails would make very boring reading. Neutral, they were not.

This had to be a false flag attack. Everyone knows that in a coup your main objective is to capture 1) the leadership 2) neutralize any opposition, military or otherwise and 3) control key government buildings and all communications media.

The kangaroo courts? Where anyone in there is automatically guilt?

Court is based in San Francisco. Enough said. No doubt all enemy submarines will now hide in areas off limits to the Navy's full use of sonar. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that coming.

On whose word do we take those accusations, Erdogan?

If Europe had a backbone, they would put their military ships off Turkey and turn around every refugee ship leaving the Turkish waters. But that would actually make sense.

Don't wish that on everyone. Just like here in America, everyone isn't for whoever is in office. Besides, with Erdogan's cronies counting the votes, who really knows what the truth is.

Totally agree with the false flag. So-called coup was entirely too screwed up to be taken seriously. Turkish military knows how to operate coups through past experience. Rule #1: Grab the leader first.

Christian majority? Where have you been?

Turkey has been a secular country ever since Ataturk. That secularization was enforced, even after military coups. Now that uber-Muslim Erodgan is super supreme, all bets are off.

Erdogan is not about democracy. He doesn't respect any minority rights. It is his way or no way. Democracy is not supposed to be mob rule, like the French Revolution.

I assume you would prefer non-religious nutbags like Stalin, Mao, or Hitler?

The refugee crisis could have been stopped in its tracks if boats had been turned around and/or refugees taken back where they started. Once they saw they would not be allowed in Europe, refugee crisis would end. Instead, they did the opposite, which encouraged more risk-taking and more deaths.

Yet another base that does nothing for America's security, but does much for our Perpetual War Policy. We have learned nothing of the chaos we have sown in Libya, Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. Before we decided we would save the world, there was no al Qaeda and no ISIS. Now we have the new, improved, made-in-USA…

I could see these tanks easily getting stuck in the mud, as did everything else on land during the Civil War. Getting them across rivers would also be a nightmare, as I doubt those pontoon bridges would hold up under the weight. Lastly, the soldiers would probably almost cook inside one of these during a hot July…

Correction: The guys in the trenches know the government is broken. Upper management is trying to make government bigger in order to expand their empire. They believe only they have the right ideas about anything and seldom bother to ask anyone actually doing the work. Imagine how fast a company with that attitude…
