CAIRO — An adviser to Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi said Wednesday that a military coup was underway, that tanks were on the move outside Cairo and that communication with the president had been cut off. As a military deadline came and went for Morsi to step aside, the army took control of state television, and boisterous crowds opposed to the regime cheered and danced in Tahrir Square.

Is our military taking notes?

I hate living in a banana republic.

Looks like the hoi polloi didn’t want sharia. Thank God the military is run by secular generals.

Historically, Power-vacuum fillers tend not to be the more charitable or benevolent sort.

Wonder what would happen if several million Americans demanded Obama hand his Nobel back?

So our newly installed resident goes to the University of Cairo in his first official overseas trip and dictates to Mubarek to release Morsi from jail.

Don't dismiss the possibility that the entire arab spring was instigated by obama.

Hopefully the second revolution will turn out better for the people than the first one did.

Re: “Is our military taking notes?”

Dream on.

“Our” military has been the subject of an on going ideological and spiritual purge since before the current regime. True Christians (not the UU/UCC sort) and constitutional Patriots have been systematically weeded out while Islamists, Sodomites and drug gangstas have been infiltrated in.

Although it’s been pretty much a “soft” purge so far, I have to wonder about some of the command level “suicides” and scandals, as well as the 23-odd suicides a DAY by active and Veteran military members.

They have “medications” that will drive you to suicide, you know.

I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think it’s really “our” military any more.

Stalin knew how to coup-proof himself, and Barry knows his Uncle Joe pretty well.

So don’t bet the farm on that option, even though “IVAN” the all knowing has surely taken note of your suggesting it.

Check in next week and let us know if you’re still here, won’t you?

Yep. The Arab Spring Obama, Hillary, Rinos and the Media supported
isn’t looking real stable at the moment. Will they now call for a new Arab
Spring or dig their heels in to support Morsi, against the people’s wishes?

How did “our” Second Revolution (AKA the “Civil War”) work out for us?

Stay tuned.

I don’t hold out a lot of hope for the third being a particular charm for the restoration of Constitutional Liberty, but then again what do I know?

I think there is a reason why America is hardly mentioned if at all in Biblical end times prophecy - which I opine we are witnessing the beginning of fulfillment of right now.

Hosni Mubarak must be looking as good to the Egyptians at this point as George W. Bush is looking to Americans.

And who knows what Egypt’s new kinder, gentler secular dictator will be like?

If the Egyptians still had any money left, someone could make a fortune selling Hosni Mubarak ‘’Miss Me Yet?’’ tee-shirts in Tahrir Square.

NBC? This story is one of those “sun rising in the east” type of stories. Was going to occur, just a question of when...

Still, NBC....anyone heard this from a more reliable source, like DEBKA?

How about Fox News also being a good source as well as Drudgereport?

The truth is that the large marjority of folks in the USA military are still center-right.

Those folks you refer too are simply are in a minority, very numbers at that.

Got to remember that America was NOT around during the time that the Bible events took that is why.
