Egypt's military authorities have reaffirmed the country's commitment to all its international treaties.
The announcement, which was read by a senior officer on state TV, implicitly confirms that the country's peace treaty with Israel will remain intact.

...for now.
Option 2) Don't get $2 Billion per year from the US and take go up against the Israelis.
Maybe (.)bama can get back on TV and gin up another revolution over there.
Meanwhile, his PR staff is trying to equate his behind the scene (or is it his behind is showing) work with Reagan’s push to have the Berlin Wall torn down. The street organizer who takes credit for a rehabed inner city outcome devoid from the fact his rhetoric destroyed the city during the riot inspired by his actions.
Correction:
“Egypt military authorities ‘to respect all treaties’”
>>>>>
“Egypt military authorities ‘to respect all treaties’, while in power”
Yes, “for now”
This entire matter is a mess.
Can anyone tell us what the cause was and why Obammy was so compelled to lead the parade?
I saw 7 to 10 thousand various rubes in the street.
We had 1/4 million in DC protesting Obamacare and they literally shoved a finger up our nose.
Voice of the people my arse.
From what I’m hearing, the threat from the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood isn’t as great, right now, as we think. Mubarak’s regime was successful in culling the most extreme members from that group. If there is going to be a Islamic revolution in Egypt it will probably come from an outside group (Hamas, Martyr’s Brigade, Al Qaeda, etc).
The economic challenges in Egypt are tremendous and probabilty of a “second revolution” is very high. Since the end of WWII the Sadat/Mubarak regimes have made some economic progress in Egypt, but it was all based on tourism and cronyism. There is very little economic upside for next 10 years in Egypt. They will soon become an oil importing nation and they are unable to feed their growing population. Mubarak is leaving Egypt at a point in time where their economy is about as good as it can get. If he stayed on things would have gotten worse. Without him things will incdeed get worse and in 10 years Mubarak’s reign will be seen as ‘the good, old days’.
The best case scenario is that all remains the same except Obama gets elevated to position of saint.
Worst case is that the ME melts down and we face a widened security treat.
Either way this is BS
IRAN
A continued military dictatorship is probably the best Egypt can hope for, flowery claims of “people power” notwithstanding.
I very much doubt that Egypts military will be keen on handing the country over to Mullahs.
Mmmmm... *security treat*
LoL
I see no good coming from this.
Obama is poking a hornets nest.
Even if the Gov remains status quo in their ruling of egypt, Obama has damaged our alliances severely.
Our ME allies will never trust us again.

I think that the MB will keep undermining the military - trying to stir things up.
Egypt is key for the most vital objective: the canal
With control of the canal they can bring down all the infidel, imperialistic nations.
Logistics: the most important part of any military action.
“Our ME allies will never trust us again.”
We don’t really have any Middle East Allies, outside of Israel.
We may have lost Israel in this stupidity.
MMMMMmmmm, Salmon treats
Huskies love them!
Military coup. Protester revolution was all hyped BS. Apparently the generals figured Mobarak, family and buddies were sucking up all the money they shopuld be sharing in and put a halt to it, freezing all their money.
Egypt has never been a free and democratic country, Egyptians are happy with Pharos, dictators or Military.
