The military, as this report shows, is most likely to ultimately adopt measures similar to Mubarrack. The opposition is most likely to adopt something that is more secular and democratic.
Either of these would be much, much better for U.S. interests, for peace in the Middle East, and for the Egyptians own well being than the Muslim Brotherhood's Fundamental Islam and Sharia LAw.
But, our President is all in with Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. Soon, Mr. Barry Obamastan is going to either have to abadnon Morsi (showing his policy their for the farce it always was)...or try and prop Morsi up with US support...which would cause a very bloody civil war there, and would involve our own troops on the wrong side of the fight.
Is Obama stupid enough to go to Morsi’s aid? I have a mental image of our troops refusing to fight.
I wonder how out of control Obama would have to be before our military staged a coup to restore order? The idea of FEMA inviting Russian troops onto US soil sends me into orbit.
Don’t forget the people more radical than Morsi, the Salafists, who are Al Qaeda like and growing in numbers. The secular liberals in the streets are noisy but a small part of the overall population. Yes Morsi is losing support, but in part he’s losing it to more extreme elements. Is Morsi really all that bad for US interests? He hasn’t moved to aggressively confront Israel, he hasn’t radically realigned Egyptian foreign policy. His internal policies stink, but what concern is that of ours?
The worst part is that Obama so screwed up the original uprisings in Egypt and the other Arab states that we will almost certainly get a Militarily backed strong man. Just like it was before.
