Immediate western intervention required in Egypt!!!!!

The AKP is filling the military's officer corps with its loyalists.

This is the point of concern.

If one is going to do this why not bring back Osman Bayezid Osmanoğlu as Sultan and Caliph.

Huh, since the days of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk the military (in particular the Army) have been the guarantors of the secular Turkish Republic.

Except recently they have been the targets of suspicious accusations of treason through Special Courts that have crippled the military leadership and bullied them into allowing the government (and their religious motivations) to have it's way.

There is reportedly discomfort at the fact that the number of arrested generals has now reached nearly more than 100. Former Chief of General Staff Gen. İlker Başbuğ has also been arrested as part of the Ergenekon probe, disturbing both the military and government officials.

This seems to extend to the educational leadership.

And as a p.s. This was not done through a google search but by looking at TODAY's news on Turkey's major English news source.

The "Beer is our Right" demonstrators marched to the Presidential Palace without a hitch yesterday. So thats a good sign.
Taking a slightly more ominous tone, Jihadist websites are chattering about the victories of the MB in Egypts' parliamentary & Presidential elections. It is demonstrative (to them, at least) of Allahs power, and the rightousness of their cause. If Mursi doesn't live up to the expectations of the Islamists (who largely are responsible for putting him where he currently is), my money says it'll get violent pretty quickly (at which point the army asserts its power in order to restore security...........they turfed their boy Mubarak and wouldn't bat at eye at doing the same to this dude)

In his "unofficial" swearing-in speech, Mursi promised to free the "Blind Sheikh" Omar Abdel-Rahman. I'd say he's catering to his powerbase!!!

This is the same guy that thinks 911 was a US conspiracy.....I doubt the beer thing works out.
