Egyptian Military to Morsi: You have 48 hours to reach a deal

[YankeeFan]

Wild events happening in Egypt, again.

Is it possible for Egyptians to protest without a gang rape being involved?

Looks like that Muslim Brotherhood thing isn't working out so great.

 

[Dick Whitman]

Things are apparently beginning to go down.

I am honestly not sure what the opposition wants here, other than some general desire to see Morsi ... resign? Change?

What a cluster****.

The Obama administration stands against the people demanding freedom -- again:

As the violent standoff between the Egyptian military and President Mohamed Morsy continues, U.S. ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson has become a lightning rod for critics of U.S. policy in the country.

The tip of the spear for U.S.-Egypt diplomacy, Patterson's June 18 speech discouraging street protests has come to symbolize the administration's inability to recognize the potency of Egypt's liberal opposition. "Some say that street action will produce better results than elections," Patterson said. "To be honest, my government and I are deeply skeptical."

The eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don't believe
We're on the eve
of destruction.

Overall the Obama policy for Arab Spring has been a disaster. Another example of everything that he touches turns to ****.

 

[Dick Whitman]

Boom, this must disappointed you, as you voted for him.

Shut the **** up.

It's not supportive.

We knew it would be a long, messy process, and it has been.

We're supposed to be on the side of the people, and stand for freedom. Instead, we've expressed "skepticism". Why? Why not speak out against a new dictator?

But, hey, we didn't stand up for the Iranian people either, and we only chose the side of the Syrian and Libyan people once there was no alternative.

It' a flip of the coin and then Obama tries to sell us on whatever side won the flip.

Words mean something. Then again, you've never had trouble sending in the troops. Ballsy of you, considering you've never served.

I think the term you're looking for is "chickenhawk".

 

[Captain Obvious]

The real issue is how to spell Morsi. Or is is Morsy or Mursi?

Either way, heaven knows he's miserable now.

What's happened to the white hat UN peacekeeping force? They used to be everywhere and now not so much.

Nah, they don't have flowers in Egypt and Iran. And their candy is of poor quality.
