If you click on this link from the Indy, you can see how young some of these coup soldiers are. They're just kids who were no doubt tricked into this ridiculous effort by power-hungry superiors.
Btw, I doubt whether Gulen would have been behind this - it is convenient for Erdogan to blame a group that is not even based in Turkey. Just my opinion.
Anyway, these poor, misled kids are going to have a tough time (pics from feed @ 8.54):

Those soldiers look normal age to me - late teens to mid 20s. How old do you think they are sprinrain?
Either way, the coup has clearly failed and Erdogan is now in a much stronger position politically than he was 24 hours ago.

He is making bank off the oil proceeds of the civil war in Syria. The coup guys don't give a fuck about democracy, but oil money and the back end of the black market arms dealing that the "president" is swimming in.

A wise sage (and onion) insider has told me that with this coup Turkey is stuffed.

With the secular faction mostly destroyed in the Ergenekon trials, Erdogan can now crush his last remaining enemies and enjoy his "Burning of the Reichstag" moment.
I'd be expecting him to demand the extradition of Gulen from the US, using the Incirlik Air Base as a bargaining chip.
Gulen's served his purpose for the US...
