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 Egypts first democratically elected president. But he appealed to Egyptians to give him more time to deal with the countrys problems.
Link to originial FR thread from Friday with many amazing photos.

Egyptians have placed CNN logo on Muslim Brotherhood logo due amount of bogus Pro MB reporting about Egypt
Not sure......but the PRo MBs are instigating this...
That’s exactly right!
This has a long, long way to go.
Hello thouworm....been at this most of the day.
Yes, it has a long way to go but we are seeing the fight for Democracy here.....Part 2.
The thug MB are always up for a fight...and they are not going to go down easily. I get sick of seeing the beards and how dirty they always look..I’m getting to the place where I can spot them after all this photo searchig!! lol
I sent the following email to FOX TIPS:
Egyptians in the USA will demonstrate tomorrow in front of CNN against CNN’s pro-Morsi and Moslem Brotherhood bias coverage.
A logo is designed in preparation, CNN inside the Moslem Brotherhood logo!
Are you going to cover it as we expect or look the other way if you have orders NOT TO COVER IT? Isn’t this news? We will wait and see what your stand will be and if you’re indeed different from the MSM!
Maybe we need Egyptians to fix our media, Mr. and Mrs. FAIR AND BALANCED!t
“Hello thouworm....been at this most of the day.”
