The Egypt drama is reaching its inevitable, and largely expected, conclusion. From Reuters:
In other words, if Morsi leaves, you get a Civil War.

As always, follow the live action below:
You Freepers don't need to worry cause our fearless community organizer has been training for just such an event for the past five years, is in the area, and is prepared to take charge!
ungrateful damn egyptians. they got the big obamagastic nobel peace prize inducing cairo speech, and everything.
Barry Obama: “We’re sending a brigade to help. What’s that? That brigade has been disbanded? They’ve been sent home?
Ah, we are sending you our best wishes.”
Remember Obama, YOU gave the military in Egypt all those tanks and airplanes!!!!
The “Arab Spring” is running with blood.
Have any been actually delivered?..............
PING
The first mistake is thinking that democracy can ever come to bearded-savage countries. Bearded savages kill normal people, other bearded savages, and everything that moves.
The smart members of the “Brotherhood” will take the money and intelligence Obama’s coup gained them and leave and run the country with blackmail and bribes from say... San Francisco.
Obama and his media: inventors of “the failure-success”!
Hey Mursi, don’t let the door slam on your way out! Good riddance to fascist trash.
Coup Under Way In Egypt, President Advisor Says, Warns About “Considerable Bloodshed”, “Tanks....”
Your welcome.
And no fireworks for the troops
Desolation of the Obamanation continues...
The Egyptian army just gave Obama the “bronx salute”.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Maybe Kerry can hit the reset button.
From 2011:
Despite revolution, US set to approve tank sales to Egypt
The Jerusalem Post

The US signaled last week that it plans to continue business as usual when it comes to arms sales to the Egyptian military, despite the recent revolution in Egypt and continued anti-government demonstrations there.
On Friday, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of a possible sale of 125 M1A1 Abrams tank to Egypt the first large arms deal since Hosni Mubarak was ousted from power in February including associated weapons, equipment, parts, training and logistical support at an estimated cost of just over $1.3 billion.
If approved, the deal would increase the number of Abrams tanks in Egypt from around 1,000 to 1,130.
According to the notification to Congress, Egypt would receive 125 tanks, parts of which would be produced in Egypt, as well as M256 Armament Systems, M2 .50 caliber machine guns, 7.62mm machine guns, spare parts, maintenance, support equipment, personnel training and other related elements of logistics and program support.
The rule of the MB is over. Pretty much the army runs the country.
Am I the only one with Obama fatigue?
