Behold, the REAL ARAB SPRING (throwing out Obama)

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.
Thank you for the ping to this new thread.
Do you have a source/link?
Perfectly stated.
Could there be more accountability in Cairo than
in all of the US Congress (IRS, Benghazi, Fast&Furious,
ElectionFraud, Arming al Qaeda, Lying to Congress,
.... not enough electrons in the known Universe)???
No television here. Is it correct that the cable nets are NOT covering this in real time as they were one year ago in the exact same place?
Right!
Last I looked all were on Zimmerman.
It looks like the army is consolidating and taking positions before issuing their statement.
They are getting ready for fighting the armed MB AND HAMAS ELEMENTS.
Hopefully, the terrorists. Will be “martyred” per their wishes.
" Hayzaboon,” an insult that means “ugly old woman” or “crone.”
CNN now has a crawl..Morsi adviser..”coup underway”..and they keep on spelling his name as Morsy
After what happened, yes.
Egypt has to exterminate the MB and Hamas. You never know what the concentration of Egyptian armor on Gaza border would do to punish them for killings in the Sinai and lately in Cairo.
Many thanks...BTW..the pic in that link looks like a Helen Thomas cartoon..
Still all Zimmerman right now. All a joke.
Arab Spring DEux
How convenient O is on the continent..
maybe he can go to the square and speak..
for the Muslim Brotherhood.
I just woke up and am online. Has a coup happened? (I am lazy will read the whole thread in a bit) Could you update me please?
EGYPTIAN ARMY ANNOUNCES THAT COUP IS DELAYED UNTIL ZIMMERMAN TRIAL IS OVER
It’s for the best.
Have you checked any Israeli media...one would assume they have pretty good sources..
Now that is good humor!
