Egypt's ruling military council has put off national elections, as did the transitional government in Tunisia earlier this summer. In the case of Cairo, however, elections originally set for September are now being moved back. The government has also postponed the swearing-in of its new cabinet after protesters again complained that the latest changes did not go far enough.
In addition, the transitional government also rejected suggestions for international observers to oversee the polls, preferring instead to restrict the privilege to independent Egypt-based groups only.
According to a statement by Maj.-Gen. Mamdouh Shaheen, the “electoral process” is to begin in September – but the final vote will be carried out in three stages, ending at least a month later. Some politicans have maintained, however, that the final vote could take place as late as November.
The plan comes as a compromise between the demands of Islamist and liberal pro-democracy groups, all of which are fielding candidates.
Half of the parliamentary seats will be filled through a voting system in which individual candidates will run in district races. The other half of the seats will be filled through voter choice of a political party, which then will select the representatives on its list based on how many mandates are won by each party – similar to the system used in Israel.

Elections? We don’t need no stinking elections. We are islam be governed.
“Unexpected?”
Wow, and I had such high hopes for this freedom movement.
The Egyptian Spring didn’t even make it past Summer before becoming the Egyptian Winter.
Democracy in an Islamic country.
Stage 1:
Two wolves and a lamb vote on what’s for supper.
Stage 2:
Two wolves fight to see which wolf is bigger and badder.
Stage 3:
No more democracy.
Thanks Eleutheria5.

Democracy in Iraq.
Step 1:
America invades and the people greet them with flowers and hurrahs, tear down statue of tyrant.
Step 2:
Low-life die-hards kill American troops and Iraqis. Leftists quickly proclaim that this is the Iraqi people fighting back against an invader. Low-life die-hards, reinforced with terrorists from out of town, echo the call.
Step 3:
American administration, confronted with this new reality has a hard time coping and all hell breaks loose for a while. Left claims we’ve already lost and time to leave ASAP.
Step 4:
American administration sends in more troops, while Iraqi people get thoroughly fed up with Iraqi low-life die-hards and their Islamofascist buddies, and throw in their lot with the Americans, who have shown they are not running any time soon.
Step 5:
New administration in America happily capitalizes on the hard-won advances of the previous administration, and stays a little longer. Fragile Iraqi democratic institutions put forth fragile roots and branches.
Step 6:
Americans leave. Iraq: ?
Democracy in Iraq.

America invades and the people greet them with flowers and hurrahs, tear down statue of tyrant.

No.... really? Can’t be! This was all about DEMOCRACY!
Our very own Resident of the United States said so his own self!
But that’s how you know it ain’t so.
Obama lies when:
1. It suits him;
2. His lips move;
3. He breaths.
