CAIRO: Struggling to subdue continuing street protests, the government of PresidentMohamed Morsi has approved legislation reimposing martial law by calling on the armed forces to keep order and authorizing soldiers to arrest civilians, Egypt's state media reported on Saturday.

Morsi has not yet issued the order, the flagship state newspaper Al Ahram reported. But even if merely a threat, the preparation of the measure suggested an escalation in the political battle between Egypt's new Islamist leaders and their secular opponents over an Islamist-backed draft constitution. The standoff has already threatened to derail the culmination of Egypt's promised transition to a constitutional democracy nearly two years after the revolt against the former leader Hosni Mubarak.

Is Obama related to Morsi? Just wondering....

Nothing a few hundred high-flying armed U.S. government drones can’t fix, eh?

You really, really don't get the logistics situation with the US govt vs. The People.

A few hundred drones is less than 3 per state.

You can't drive across Texas in a day.

Nope. Gooberment loses, every single time I run the numbers.

Morsi’s chief enabler is Bronco Bama, high priest and king of Amerika.

I have not been as bowled over since Howl! by Ginsberg

And he won’t FORCE you to pay for illegal aliens’ health care either.. /s

0bama’s severe lack of judgement has opened the Islamists pandora box.

Lack of judgement would indicate that he wants to do what is right. This is all by evil design.

There’s too many guns in the right people’s hands in America for that to become a reality. Chill, Will.

There are a lot votes in the hands of Americans as well. Most Americans are too stupid to oppose the evil that runs things.

Arab democracy = one man, one vote, one time.

Hope the Egyptians liked their one vote for the Muslim Brotherhood, no other votes of any consequence will ever take place under the current system.
