The Egyptian army has set a deadline of 4 p.m. Cairo time for the Muslim Brotherhood government of President Morsi to compromise with the people of Egypt (by stepping down.) Morsi refuses. 18 people were killed and 200 were wounded in clashes at Cairo University last night.
A Washington Post report from Cairo on dueling statements from Morsi and the army:
Waving his hands and shaking his fists in a 45-minute speech on national television late Tuesday, Morsi swore that he was committed to the democratic process that brought him to power and said that any attempts to subvert the constitution were “unacceptable.”
The army, in turn, posted a message to its Facebook page saying: “We swear to God that we will sacrifice even our blood for Egypt and its people, to defend them against any terrorist, radical or fool.”
In his speech, Morsi acknowledged that he had made mistakes during his year in office as Egypt’s first democratically elected president. But he appealed to Egyptians to give him more time to deal with the country’s problems.

3:35: National Salvation Front: U.S. pressures on army not to act
3:35 pm: National Salvation Front: Army will strip Mursi of legitimacy
3:16 pm Egypt state TV denied that employees evacuated TV building and reassured ongoing work
So the strategy is:
1. Huge outpouring and showing of citizen anger at the regime.
2. Military steps forward in response to citizen revolution.
3. Military shuts down regime's news outlets
4. Military arrests tyrant.
5. . . .

#LATEST — #Egypt cannot go backwards, President Mursi says
BTTT
The first solid evidence that the military has stepped in will be when the state-run TV and radio stations make the announcement..and the military’s Facebook page is updated..
Continue exposing the power Obama has provided the MB in our own government. Tomorrow's theme for Tea Party celebrations: Declaration of Independence vs salafists.
FedGov knows exactly how many Egyptians are protesting, and a gag order is in place to hide it from the American public. The true numbers are in the tens of millions.
The largest protest in all recorded human history. Humans that are rejecting Islamic law that enslaves and impoverishes a population. No matter how much Obama supports the Muslim Brotherhood, an entire country refuses to succumb to his desires to propagate Islam in the region.
I am getting sooo PO’d..we suppsoedly have THREE cable news networks, and we get that stupid trial nonstop. I almost wish that Al Jazeerah America was on the air..
I hear you. The trial doesn’t make the Marxist look bad.
Is that the reason?

Zero doesn’t want us getting ideas from the Egyptians. He’d rather have a race war. They just keep pushing the envelope and one day it will drop!
Our US ambassador to Egypt has said comments that imply Morsi support, reason for the protest signs telling her to get out.
Egyptian activists angry over US envoy's comments
CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian anti-government activists denounced the U.S. ambassador in Cairo Friday for a statement in which she criticized street protests as the opposition gears up for mass rallies to demand the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi.The outrage mounted after Ambassador Anne Patterson said in a speech earlier this week that she is "deeply skeptical" that protests will be fruitful and defended U.S. relations with Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood as necessary because the group is part of the democratically elected Egyptian government.
Implied Threat to Cut Military Aid to Egypt if Morsi is Overthrown
The NEW attorney general filed for indicting Morsi and his beards responsibility for killing demonstrators in the past few days.
Accountability started already, no wonder Morsi would rather die.
just making it up...
