“We swear to God that we will sacrifice even our blood for Egypt and its people, to defend them against any terrorist, radical or fool.”

'nuff said. Looks like either Morsi backs down by 4 PM, or he is going to go the way of Hussein and Gadhafi.

And oooh, won't Obama's foreign policy be getting the come uppance it deserves.

If the military follows through with the plan thye announced yesterday, then Egypt will be far better off, and so will the entire region.

Well said.

“We swear to God that we will sacrifice even our blood for Egypt and its people, to defend them against any terrorist, radical or fool.”

One correction: the last word, “fool” is not the correct translation, it’s “ignorant or ignoramus.”

The significance is that Egyptians call the MB what they really are; sixth century “ignoramuses.”

An army statement that descriptive is very telling. In other cases they would have said “enemies of the state” type of cliché.

All your ranting & raving about foreign intrigue does little to turn the tides of outright disgust about American international involvement.

There used to be a time when you actually did something and now, all you want is a “pipe-dream.”
