Members of the Muslim Brotherhood and supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi (back) clash with anti-Mursi protesters near Maspero, Egypt's state TV and radio station, near Tahrir square in Cairo July 5, 2013.

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.
Link to originial FR thread from Friday with many amazing photos.
I’ll check but seems things are calm at the moment
Calm restored to area around Egypt state TV building.... Army deployed..... Pro-Morsi crowd return towards Cairo Uni...... Anti-Morsi crowd celebrates.
That’s what they’re good at!
Morsi will pay heavily for this when he goes on trial and BACK TO JAIL he goes!
I saw caww suggest a new thread (earlier today.) It’ll be up in a minute to keep this front and center.

alainsmi According to data from PRISM, 239 of you began making John Kerry “I’m on a boat” parodies. Lemme know if even a single one turns out decent.
Hellzapoppin and no need for threads to get littered up with idiots, under the influence of intoxicants or just their natural bile!
Thank you so much for your comments, photos, articles, translations and educated replies here.
I can only check in now and then in between stuff.
What do either/obth of you think about pro-mosri bias in the military? Is there any? Or are they rational?
Will we loose the photos I posted from the other thread for today?
Dittos!
MAY God bless, bless, bless her-—threefold blessing! Prayers that the Lord heal MestaMachine.
