Anderson Cooper just asked why they didn't plan to waste Erdogan when they started the coup.

Anderson Cooper can plan a coup better than the coup planners.

He's not called a Couper for nothing.

They didn't even have a good way to get him into custody, since he was in a plane. Or have enough forces to do it.

I'm still holding out some hope for the little coup that could!

WOKE UP IN THE DESERT AGAIN

Was just watching a dude in Taksim square. Military fired into the air to disperse the crowd. He turned his camera off to save battery power. It's that boring.

Some guy brought his baby along and pushed the carriage right up to the front of the protestors so the mil dudes could see it.

well they didn't get Erdogan unless that unconfirmed explosion at the airport was actually something, so its a pretty safe bet it's done because he'll mobilize every last non-secular person in Turkey to march into the face of the army's guns before he gives up power, and they'll do it too. Also he's basically packed the entire senior leadership of the military with his cronies
