It was not a military coup. The people demanded that the military step in.

Overwhelmingly.

A short overview what has happened in Egypt.


- Obama, took advantage of Egypt instability by helping push Mabarak out power.

- Egypt had a power vacuum that would be filled by the most organized group.

- Obama understood that the Muslim brotherhood would be that organization that would take power. Obama wanted them in power. Muslim Brotherhood goals are the destruction of Israel and to export International terrorism under the guise of Islam.

- The overwhelming Egyptian majority found that the Muslim Brotherhood were pushing them toward the hard ideology of Sharia law.

- The people revolted against the corrupt, Muslim Brotherhood government.


A short conclusion: the Muslim Brotherhood who were thrown out of power are a threat to Western Nations and Israel.

Our Friend in Cairo
Why does President Barack Obama persist in supporting Mohamed Morsy — and not the protesters?
BY TED CRUZ | JULY 3, 2013

On Sunday, June 30, millions of Egyptians turned out to protest President Mohamed Morsy and his Muslim Brotherhood-dominated regime. Fed up with his disastrous economic mismanagement and systematic disregard for constitutional freedoms, the Egyptian people took to the streets to demand his resignation. “Leave! Leave!” they chanted in what may have been the largest demonstration in the history of the Middle East — if not the world.

In what has to be one of the most stunning diplomatic failures in recent memory, the United States is — in both perception and reality — entrenched as the partner of a repressive, Islamist regime and the enemy of the secular, pro-democracy opposition.

[Hat tip to maggief for posting that on the Live Egypt thread this morning.]
