Clearly the Obama administration is not planning to use the military, as that requires an act of congress. It would violate the Constitution and the war powers act, and he would never ignore the constitution.

...Thu, 11 Jul, 2013...

...Two U.S. Navy ships patrolling in the Middle East moved closer to Egypt’s Red Sea coast in recent days, the top Marine Corps general said on Thursday, in what appeared to be a precautionary move after the military overthrow of President Mohamed Mursi.

The United States often sends Navy vessels close to countries in turmoil in case it needs to protect or evacuate U.S. citizens or take part in humanitarian assistance. Their presence does not necessarily mean the United States is preparing to carry out military action...

...the USS San Antonio, an amphibious transport dock, and the USS Kearsarge, an amphibious assault ship, had moved further north in the Red Sea two or three nights ago to better respond if needed.

U.S. Marine Corps officials said moving amphibious ships closer to shore would enable easier movement of helicopters and other equipment, if it were needed.

“Why? Because we don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said.

Navy officials said the third ship in the group, the USS Carter Hall, remained off the coast of Bahrain in the Gulf...

If I were in the military, this is one case where I would willfully disobey orders. Fighting for the Brotherhood? Yeah, right.

What would the “point” of military intervention be? They’ve got nothing we want and have done nothing to warrant our attacking them.

Methinks someone over there just wants to feel as important as an Iraqi or Afghani. LOL.
