The age of military coups is over

Maybe. Maybe not.

"Everyone rejects the statement of the armed forces," Yasser Hamza, a member of the FJP's legal committee, told the Al Jazeera network. He added, "Solutions will be in the framework of the constitution. The age of military coups is over."

Well, this little twit may have to learn a very hard lesson.

Apparently the Generals, and they have the soldiers, the tanks, the weaponbs, the aircraft, etc., believe differently. And given the western training that armed force has had, I believe they are capable...and equally importantly, willing...to take the Msulim Brotherhood down.

Earlier on Monday, Egypt's top general, Abd al-Fatah a-Sisi, warned President Mohammed Morsi that he had 48 hours to resolve the crisis in Egypt. If he did not, the army would “intervene.”

The army would expect Morsi to lay out a road map of steps he plans to take to “satisfy the will of the people, and restore calm; otherwise, the army would take control of the country."

Hard to take those words back unless Morsi comes up with a very definitive plan. And I do not think he will.

“Crunchies” - nickname for civilians trying to stop tanks.

The Army is very tipped over because Brig. Gen. Mohamed Hani was shot dead by unknown gunmen in El Arish in the Sinai last Saturday.

It is believed that militants connected to Morsi are behind the assassination, trying to weaken and demoralize the General staff.
