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.

Quote from John Bolton in 2011:
“The idea that the idea that Muslim Brotherhood, if it got power in Egypt, would behave any different than Hamas is absurd.”
Obama and his minions were telling Americans at the time that the Muslim Brotherhood was a secular, peace-loving organization. Which, of course was a flagrant lie.

Morsi is going for life or perhaps will lose his life.
Let’s hope the blood of the innocent is spared.
I wish the MB’s blood is spilled to the last drop!

Canada removed their people yesterday. Obama didn’t want to lose face so it looks like our people could just lose their lives.
