The exuberance of the Egyptians needs to be seen DON, for them ousting Morsi was refusing to submit to the direction he was taking the country..which was rule under Shariah Law....
I would be just as excited if OBOZO was gone...no doubt about that!

The history of this continued revolution part two basically, can be seen all the way back to it's beginning before the marches. The people mounted up with petitions to oust him...the administration had already ignored Morsi and some representatives had walked out..... The military knew the Sinai was getting out of control and had already bypassed Morsi and began to deal with the border area with Israels approval, which the military sought beforehand. All this and more BEFORE the marches. Those are undisputed facts.

MBS are not interested in diplomacy as we see now....though the current Egyptian administration has made numerous attempts for inclusiveness of the Brotherhood ..they continue to refuse and rebuke the obvious. Their “standard” means of defense is, and always will be, when they have lost, bloodbaths in one form or another, threats and violence as much to their own as to those they oppose.

All nations have for centuries fought for what they wanted their nation and administration to be...Egypt is no different. But IMO I do not think Egypt will survive without the Brotherhood going back underground as it had for so many years prior...better would be it's elimination altogether.

I agree that Egypt cannot be as the US might think they should be...and no reason why this needs to be so. Already the other Arab countries have stepped up monetarily to fill in the revenue gap...and this BTW was clearly promised long before the marches began should the US back off with their monetary support.

Mubarak was too long at the head of Egypt and this made him into the tyrant he became....but that said.. he did know how to keep the brotherhood at bay.

As for our interests...well ObOZO has made it clear he plays a different drum then our leaders prior...no telling what he will do next...but the man likes to play the game when it suits him and no more than that.

It would be great if all nations could operate “with the consent of the governed”...but as long as there are those who pant after power and control that will not be possible...and as long as elections can be and are hijacked, and corruption of the voting methods....it's now more who can cheat and bribe the most..wins....to every-ones loss.

It is even MORE concerning that our own press, which could do exactly what YOU are doing, WON’T.

Fox' running commentator on Egypt's demonstrations, Conor Powell, has been reporting from Jerusalem with wide-shot photos of Tahrir Square and the broadest outline of commentary possible---thus providing no news at all except to say that demonstrations are occurring, military has fired live ammo, and people have been killed.

End of story...

Agree Mesta....it’s truly more than sad the press fails so on this historic time for Egypt. Just as they drive everything else they drive the masses...and yes sickening especially when good people have mounted up and achieved such a grand scale event. To think in one month they had an adminstration in place and operating! And prepared in advance for all that we have seen.

But as usual the MBS will always and forever create chaos....that will not change.

Thanks so much for posting what the MSM is ‘NOT’ saying ....nicely supports what we are saying that they aren’t doing their job, in fat failing miserably.

A couple of articles about Egypt, saw already this one below has lying propaganda, and people on FR are believing it! I just posted a link to this thread with a couple of comments.

More than 100 people killed and 1,000 injured in clashes in Egypt as deposed president Morsi is...
Mail Online ^ | 26 July, 2013 | Rosie Taylor and Anthony Bond

Posted on Saturday, July 27, 2013 8:09:36 AM by Errant

More than 100 people are believed to have been killed at a protest in support of Egypt’s ousted President Mohammed Morsi.

Security forces are reported to have started shooting demonstrators shortly before pre-dawn morning prayers at a round-the-clock vigil in Cairo being staged by backers of Morsi, who was removed from power by the army three weeks ago.

Makeshift field hospitals around the area near the Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque were overwhelmed, with one doctor telling the BBC that more than 1,000 had been injured.

Another incredibly biased POS propaganda article on FR, haven’t checked peoples’ comments but if they believe it, they’re not thinking clearly. I will shortly post a link to this thread.

Egypt has been warned of the violence to come – by General Sisi himself
UK Guardian - Editorial ^ | July 27, 2013 | Gehad el-Haddad

Posted on Saturday, July 27, 2013 8:59:36 AM by don-o

The upshot of all of this is that when Sisi calls on all Egyptians to rally “in every public square”, and when the general characterises these forthcoming rallies as a “mandate” to fight “violence and terrorism” this has to be seen as paving the way for more military action.

The end game is not very difficult to see. Sisi has already given the world a taste of what he is willing to do when officers opened fire on peaceful protesters during morning prayers. There were at least 50 dead on the spot, possibly as many as a 100 in total.

The violence has continued sporadically since then. And while most news outlets conservatively label the violence as “clashes” between anti-Morsi and pro-Morsi factions, the inescapable facts are that all the deaths have been among those protesting the coup and calling for the return of Egypt’s hijacked democracy and that many of these deaths have come at the hands of non-uniformed state agents.

Really? I’ve read believable accounts of MB killing their own. What about the women with bullet holes in their backs, from close quarters?

Did you misinterpreted my post? I’m talking about msm news/blogs.

THAT is the faux news-— not caww & melancholy reports, photos, and sources.

REALLY, hypocrite... How about giving the rest of us a little credit in the ability to discern truth from lies category before you go telling everyone WHAT to believe!

It's garbage being strewn around like this that keeps many of us away from wading through these long winded threads.

Thanks to all who wrote about what we are doing on this thread. It’s taking time and effort to get the truth out to our fellow Americans who are suffering from:

- the MSM/regime agenda-driven lies and silence
- the Islamist/communist infiltration in all our institutions

Remember, the only “political” demonstration in front of the white hive, against 0b0z0’s policy in the Middle East and in front of his lap dog, CNN, was by Egyptians who are telling it like it is. Where would you find English signs, written and carried by Americans, telling the truth about 0b0z0’s direct support of and to everything Islamist in the world?

Enough said.

Now, you get the story behind your picture of a maximum of six corpses of the 130 dead MB.

It looks like the one on the right is dead with his arm and head partially uncovered and the body on its stomach, not very respectfully Islamic, if I might add. The rest are “clean with few sprinkles of blood on the heads of what could very well be some “covered” pillows and that’s that!

Here is an Egyptian print reporter’s (Sabry) account on TV:

“I went around 9 AM TO Rabaa with my cameras to investigate what happened at dawn. The first one I met when I entered the area interrogated me and refused to take me where the bodies are. I asked one of the “sisters” who took me to a corridor leading to a room in the Rabaa el Adawiya mosque where the bodies are kept.

There was a line of “foreign” reporters who were let in one by one to photograph, come out and the next goes in. There was the MB in charge of handling the reporters, Gehad el Haddad [British-educated son of arrested Essam el Haddad, a big MB wig in “foreign policy” under Morsi] who was talking to foreign reporters.

The line got shorter, I was #5 when I felt a tug on my arm, I turned around and it was a MB “security” who told me, come with me, I want a word with you. I told him that I wanted to stay in line for my turn. He pulled me out of the line and accused me of being from the other side when I told what newspaper I was with. I asked him do you or did you read the paper lately? He angrily said no. I told him why are the MB let foreign correspondents and one Egyptian who works for a foreign paper in to photograph but NOT him? At this point, few people started to congregate and started hitting and kicking me for a while then kicked me out.”

The anchor asked Sabry if he’s injured and if he got his cameras back in good shape. He told her that he had bumps, bruises, a little hair fracture in his knee and that he was hugging his cameras which survived.

There you have it. I’ll repeat the question that I posted before: WHERE’S THE INEVITABLE GRAND WIDE-ANGLE SHOT TO SHOW AT LEAST TENS OF BODIES?

I’ll tell you why there weren’t anything close to MB number of a hundred and certainly not enough pillows and covers to stage it.

I’m not trying to be funny, how many pillows and sheets will you find on a short notice when they’re living in a traffic light?

A follow up to my post.

Sabry, the Egyptian reporter, was asked how many injured in Rabaa? He said that they were thirty or forty with buckshot injuries and they were walking “home.”

The police and the military DON’T USE BUCKSHOT AT ALL!

Another gem you get from the above post: who wrote the communist/Islamist article in the commie crappy guardian?

None other than Gehad el Haddad!

From my post:

“There was the MB in charge of handling the reporters, Gehad el Haddad [British-educated son of arrested Essam el Haddad, a big MB wig in “foreign policy” under Morsi] who was talking to foreign reporters.”

There ya have it!
