The Egypt drama is reaching its inevitable, and largely expected, conclusion. From Reuters:

In other words, if Morsi leaves, you get a Civil War.

The world does not want to live in a seventh century caliphate. Nobody wants Obama and the moslem brotherhood to run anything. Maybe this is the turning point - maybe the push back starts in Egypt.


I am sure many people all over the place are looking at the millions in the streets and thinking “Hmmmmmmm!”

That is what irks me most about FOX News; something major is going on in the world and FOX is running a human interest story or a show trial.

this will leave a mark on obama here in the USA.

With who? The low information voters? They don't have the first clue that Obama had anything to do with Mubarak's ouster, Morsi's election, or the subsequent nationwide fallout of installing the Muslim Brotherhood in power.

This incident will only leave another mark on Obama with those who are already totally aware of his disastrous meddling in Middle Eastern affairs.

Great news! The defeat of the Muslim Brotherhood is a HUGE setback for Muhammad Obama!!

Yes! That is why the MSM either doesn't want to cover it or calls it a 'military coup'.

Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood: We love Egypt so much that we’ll destroy it.

It’s what we need....millions in the streets and the JCS ousting an obvious traitor who is unqualified by the requirements of the Constitution. And it wouldn’t hurt to dissolve Congress too.....

Best thing to do is let events take their course and suspend aid to Egypt,Islamist rule isn’t wonderful but neither is autocratic rule.

Especially as said autocrats often have relatives living in the states,with the means to support similar behavior here.It isn’t in America’s interest to support coups because it removes the wrong people from power.

Cutting the aid package would be the sanest thing to do.Afterwards if the Egyptian army wants to try to maintain and satisfy those protesters,then let them try.Chances are Egypt will continue to descend in Chaos and Israel will stay safe.

Hillary’s sidekick, Weiner’s wife, has a brother who is in the Muslim Brotherhood.

Morsi is the “moderate” face of the Muslim Brotherhood, there are members of MB who are much more fanatical than he is (or at least more openly advocate violence and persecution).

Regular non-Islamic autocratic rule is infinitely better than Islamic. Infinitely.

“Last June Hillary Clinton described the Muslim Brotherhood as “peaceful,” “committed to nonviolence,” and described them as committed to democracy. Clinton admitted that the US State Department was in talks with the group. This was less than one year after the Muslim Brotherhood officially declared “Jihad” against the United States.

Here is the actual credo of the Muslim Brotherhood. “God is our objective; the Qur’an is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations.” Does this sound like advocates of democracy?”

Total failure of an ignorant State Department led by the wife of an impeached adulterer.

“Remember Obama, YOU gave the military in Egypt all those tanks and airplanes!!!!”

Right. And the key word there is ‘gave’. My understanding is they didn’t pay a dime.

“The Egyptian army just gave Obama the ‘bronx salute’”

With Obama’s great love for the Muslim Brotherhood, I’m a little surprised that he didn’t intervene to stop the coup. Must be his advisers told him it was a losing cause
