Reports: Morsi under house arrest, military coup underway in Egypt
Hot Air ^ | 7/3/13 | Allahpundit

Posted on 07/03/2013 9:36:13 AM PDT by Nachum

Unconfirmed thus far, but the army’s deadline for him to leave office had recently passed. Let’s get a thread up, as things are moving quickly. Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi is reportedly under house arrest after the military ultimatum expired Wednesday, reports Al Hayat TV. Morsi’s spokesman denied the report, although word of the house arrest provoked cheers in Tahrir Square… Earlier Wednesday, Egyptian leaders met with the army chief. This meeting also signaled the military was taking concrete moves toward implementing its plan to replace President Mohammed Morsi, Egypt’s first freely elected leader who came to office a year ago.

This is great news if true. Glad to see the Egyptian Army is doing what they should be doing. Hopefully they can restore the rule of law. I hope other militaries pay attention to how this can be done.

This is a Bloodless Revolution, which the majority of the people are supporting the military against a tyrannical President from a radical party who resorted to autocratic rule.

The military should terminate Morsi with extreme prejudice - just to avoid any unpleasant misunderstandings in the future.

Did the founders of our country ever envision that one party,duly elected by the American people,who control all levers of legal power then turn out to be traitors,and the American people are powerless until the next election,which happens to be years away,to effect change?
I guess what I am asking is what do you do when the entire system is corrupt?

The Army will jail a bunch of MB’s and then Kerry and Obama will attack them for violating their civil rights. Putting people in jail who seek power to take away civil rights..are exactly the people who deserve to be in prison.

I think this is a great step forward for freedom. Obama has been propping up the Muslim Brotherhood since forever, and now their premier regime is being toppled. I read on Twitter that a joke making its way through Egypt is that Morsi did what Nassar, Sadat and Mubarak were unable to do, and that is to eliminate the Muslim Brotherhood as a political force. Of course that is way overstated, but I think it is safe to say that the Egyptian people would not vote them in at this point.

If the Morsi/Muslim Brotherhood regime is defeated, that may put pressure on Turkey, and people in other Arab countries that have become increasingly Sharia-compliant may take a step back from that.

I am well aware that the protesters may contain only a small number of “Jeffersonian Democrats”, and it may be that the new regime will be anti-Israel and support other interests that are averse to freedom. But from a perspective that only measures the global power of Muslim fanatics, I think that an overthrow of Mursi and his Muslim Brotherhood colleagues would be a great thing.

I'm sure some folks already know this, but it was news to me. Egypt had four presidents since the 1952 revolution prior to Morsi. In backwards order, they are: Mubarak, Sadat, Nasser, and Naguib.

I had never heard of Naguib, so I looked him up on Wikipedia:

In late 1954, however, Nasser accused Naguib of supporting the recently outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and of harbouring dictatorial ambitions. A brief power struggle broke out between Naguib and Nasser for control of the military and of Egypt. Nasser ultimately won the struggle and managed to force Naguib to resign from the presidency of Egypt in November 1954.

Egypt has been struggling to keep the Muslim Brotherhood out of power since 1954. They lost the struggle when Obama helped oust Mubarek. Now the Egyptian people are once again attempting to keep the MB out of power.

It is telling that the US is on the wrong side of the Secular-Islamist struggle in Egypt.

Watch Obama try to take credit for this too in the “I supported Islamists to help moderates obtain power” cognitive dissonance.
