Military plane forms heart-shaped cloud

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.

Hi Jeff Head...I agree!!!!!
“Am glad to see the Egyptian people and their military turn that lot of scoundrels out and begin arresting them. They set a good example for us and removed a despot in the process.”
There are many “special advisors” to this administration with ties to the brotherhood waiting for the phone call requesting they return to Egypt . What do you bet they will be allowed to stay.
Yep...this was all carefully orchestrated for months.....then it took JUST FOUR DAYS to topple Morsi!
Can we have a turn?
Thank you and happy Fourth!
Good! Go after them and finish them off.
Carriers of al Qaeda flags should be tried for high treason, period!
You would think the Brotherhood would have not been so stupid to march with an Alqaeda flag even if they are basically them....they simply cannot mask who they are even when they try to.
Happy to say that was totally expected.
Yet to come, total ban on Islamists political parties that makes it illegal and therefore, impossible to run for ANY office, save a mosque’s VP! lol
Target-rich environment!
Happy Fourth to you and to all Freepers!
It would surprise me if Morsi doesn’t go on trial sooner than later for jailbreak, murder, embezzlement of public funds, conspiracy with foreign powers and high treason!
Heard that Merkel complained after meeting him that she thought she was meeting with a head of state not a spy!
You ain’t kiddin’!
This is from where 0butt0llah is getting his “demands and threats” to Egypt to include “moderate MB” in the new government.
Fat chance, 0kaka!
Au contraire, they are that dumb!
It’ll all stop whe n some of them are executed for high treason.
