Over Presidential Palace....July 3 2013

The Egyptian army has set a deadline of 4 p.m. Cairo time for the Muslim Brotherhood government of President Morsi to compromise with the people of Egypt (by stepping down.) Morsi refuses. 18 people were killed and 200 were wounded in clashes at Cairo University last night.
A Washington Post report from Cairo on dueling statements from Morsi and the army:
Waving his hands and shaking his fists in a 45-minute speech on national television late Tuesday, Morsi swore that he was committed to the democratic process that brought him to power and said that any attempts to subvert the constitution were “unacceptable.”
The army, in turn, posted a message to its Facebook page saying: “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.”
In his speech, Morsi acknowledged that he had made mistakes during his year in office as Egypt’s first democratically elected president. But he appealed to Egyptians to give him more time to deal with the country’s problems.

Watching on FOX TV now. Stunning, just stunning! Fox moving from Cairo to Alexandria and back again with live feed. Fox said they will use Sky News to document the reaction all over Egypt.
How can this not brings tears to every true American conservative.
The largest protest in world history. The Egyptian people stood their ground peacefully and resolved not to disband until they accomplished their collective goal!
We knew from the beginning it was an historical moment, and no one covered like Free Republic did!
Shep: “Their duly elected president had been turning the country into an Islamist state, changing the rules of the game in front of the people against the will of the people....Imagine something of this nature at the White House. It is in essence what has happened today day in Cairo.”
LOL! from Shep!
