Is there ever a slow news day now? What is going on here? Is this a response to last night's attack and by removing Erdogan, You bring in a guy who is willing to put boots on the ground in Iraq to tackle ISIS? 

Has to be in my opinion, Obviously Turkey has suffered terrorist attacks recently and their government seems incapable to protect.

People gathering at the national airport, Explosions, gun fire being opened, For once i'm starting to agree with Trump, The world is at war and something has to be done, Maybe this coup is the start.

The US is behind this coup.

Whatever you may think about Erdogan he's democratically elected.
He has strong support from the Turkish people.

The silence from Obama on such a major situation taking place in such a key part of the world is remarkable.

That might be better than the token 'We're monitoring the situation' c-rap.

It would be nice, but irresponsible to not have more of the story before speaking

You're spot on Train, The American President is viewed as one big security guard for the world, When the American President has little influence on the world, He is no longer that security guard. 

Worst President in US history or arguably worst?

Fair enough but surely he could come out and say whether they are pro government or pro coup?

Police battling with the military at the moment, If i was to give current odds on whether the coup has succeeded or failed, I'd say failed is -250 favorite at the moment, Erdogan's message via the face time call seems to have helped him big.

Never stopped him before. 
But I am tired of world leaders all just holding a press conference and denouncing it.  Why even bother to say that?  No sane person is okay with it. If you are gonna hold a press conference say something more useful.
