Pleasantly surprised.
Obama must be pissed!
0bama and the CIA lost this round, but the U.S. and Egypt won.
Indeed. Seriously pissed.
“I’m actually quite surprised that the Military had enough officers left over after Morsi’s cleanse to pull this off.”
Hopefully many will be reinstated?
Ironic, Gen. Abdel Fattah Al Sisi was appointed by Morsi.
The Egyptian military is a competant and profesional force. We trained them and supplied much of their harware. Yes they still have and operate alot of the equipment the Soviets gave them, but they are no longer that army. I spent time with Egyptian soldiers when I was in the Marine Corps. Many of their guys join the military for the same reasons our guys do. It didn’t suprise me to see the generals do the right thing both times. I do believe that they will not allow the MB anywhere near the new elections. They learned a lesson from the last time. I think Egypt will turn the corner and become a decent peacefull country.
