It's a mess and the situation in the entire Middle East seems likely to worsen before it improves.

Yes it is a mess, and it should be hung around Hillary Clinton before it goes down the memory hole or gets revised by the media to cut her out of the picture. 2016 will be here sooner than you think.

read the bible. The antichrist that was supposed to unite us, and all the shiite in the mid-east, it’s all in there.

Was the Egyptian Ouster of Morsi a Military “coup d’état?” Don’t know but if it screws up our pres and his muzzie brotherhood plans I am all for it.

OBama’s government is riddled with Muslim Brotherhood, and he is as loyal to them as a self-interested communist can be.

But he seems to be afraid to confront the Saudis where their interests collide with MB.

As to whether this is a coup, of course it is. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Coups that remove thugs are generally a good thing. The humor is in watching O twist and turn as he tries to help MB without ticking off the Saudis.

Note that he had no problem with the removal of Mubarak. Its only the removal of MB, and the arrest of their members, that cause him heartburn.

Interesting that MB wanted to set up its own mini-state in Sinai. Technically given to Hamas but no doubt in reality controlled by them.

Silly article. Of course it was a coup. Article keeps beating around the bush, but if the Wehrmacht had launched a coup against Hitler (a democratically elected leader) in 1939, would that have been a bad thing?

Not all coups are bad, and not all democratically chosen leaders are good.

Which is not to say that the Egyptian events are a good thing, necessarily.

So, when 0b0z0 called for Mubarak resignation and had the military remove him AND RULEN FOR 18 MONTHS, it’s kosher! THAT’s NOT A COUP AND AID CONTINUES!

When 40 million demanded PEACEFULLY that their military remove Morsi and his murderous Moslem Brotherhood (MB) and NO MILITARY RULE, in opposition to 0b0z0’s MB appointees and his ego, IT’S A COUP AND AID SHOULD BE CUT!

Typical communist/Islamist language twisting and lies!

BTW, Turkey and Tunisia are next to kick out 0b0z0tallah’s buddies, SOON.

More buddies will turn into rotten bodies in the Sinai, SOON.

Please read what Egyptians are saying:

**Morsi was super-impeached’

What happened in Egypt was not a coup. Nations don’t make coups. Nations make revolutions. Morsi was impeached by 40 million people, a whole nation.

Not much different from the “coup” of 1974 when Americans deposed of their legitimately elected president. Nixon was forced out by a Congress acting as an agent of the people. What would have happened if Nixon refused to leave and called on his supporters to start a civil war? I imagine Congress would have been left no other choice but to call the cops to execute the will of the people.

And that’s what Egyptians did. The only difference is that in Egypt there was no functioning Congress or Parliament. So, by default, its authority goes back to the people who appoint Parliaments. And when 30 millions sign a verdict, and 40 millions (a whole nation) take to the streets and shout in one voice “Irhal - Go”, then the president is not only impeached, he is super-impeached. He is fired. And when he defies and calls on his armed supporters to start a civil war, there is no alternative but to call the cops.

And call the cops we did. A whole nation called on the only cop available to execute its will and prevent a civil war.

Is there a risk? There is always a risk. But people wisely decided that any risk pales in comparison to 3 more years of what Morsi was doing. The country was already over the cliff. Only a fool would argue to wait 3 more years. All indicators were showing in 3 more years the country will not only be in ruins, but there will be no more free elections as Morsi - instead of governing - was busy implanting his minions in every corner of government to assure perpetual ballot win. Egypt for him was nothing more than a regional governorate in the future pan-islamic Califate he and his Muslim Brotherhood have been dreaming of since its inception 85 years ago after the fall of the Ottoman Califate.

Thank God Egyptians were no fools. We stunned the world.

There is little doubt the “legitimate” rulers in Turkey and Gaza are trembling as they hear footsteps.

Finally, it puzzles most Egyptians and Muslims, why in the world is most Western media advocating so ardently for a theocratic organization the like of which they will never tolerate in their own countries? I remember how Bush was attacked for “wearing his religion on his sleeve”, while Erdogan was praised for doing the same thing. Why this condescending attitude toward Muslims? Why does Western liberals consider Muslims so inferior that they don’t deserve the same separation of state and religion they enjoy in their own nations?

What a hypo racy!!!!**

If it is not a “coup d’etat” then the term has no meaning at all.
