(Reuters) - Egyptian security forces killed at least 30 people on Wednesday when they moved in to clear a camp of Cairo protesters demanding the reinstatement of deposed President Mohamed Mursi, his Muslim Brotherhood movement said.
There was no official confirmation of the death toll at Rabaa al-Adawiya, in northeast Cairo, where thousands of Mursi supporters have staged a six-week sit-in that caused the army acute embarrassment since it ousted the elected leader.
A second camp near Cairo University was swiftly cleared in the early morning.
The operation, which suggested that the powerful military had lost patience with persistent protests that were crippling parts of the capital and slowing the political process, began just after dawn with helicopters hovering over the camps.
Gunfire rang out as protesters, among them women and children, fled Rabaa, and clouds of black smoke rose into the air. Armored vehicles moved in beside bulldozers which began clearing tents. One witness saw 15 bodies at a field hospital.

A well established tradition among those whom the Mombasa MF supports.
In that case, all I can say is, "It's a good start."
The Muzzies MUST destroy people and things.
It is like NOMAD from the original Star Trek.
It (the Muzzies) MUST destroy that which is imperfect (anything not Islamic) so they hover and wait, not on the bridge of the USS Enterprise, rather in EVERY country in the world, ready to pounce and kill. Problem is, for them, imperfection can also mean your part of another sect or clan and that is reason enough to kill you as well.

Will America have that "enough is enough" moment? What will that look like?
They get more upset about some two-bit thug, like Trayvon, getting killed, than the rape of their civil liberties.
Not good for Egypt...
It is not good either that America’s wasted military trillions on the Egytpians and that BHO is not there for them or understands thier dilemmas. Instead he supports the MB which means, Egypt is adrift right now and until they settle down the Iron Fist is the ONLY way in the Muslim Arab world. What happens later is anybody’s guess but for now, the MB needs a good ol’ crushin to cool thier hot heads.
That looks like the Israeli version of the armored bulldozer.
Go Egypt!?
Is the troll under the White House?
I thought it was built on a swamp.
When is Obama teeing off today?
See how disproportionate these awful Egyptian soldiers and police are being? The poor MB only has "small automatic rifles" and are just shooting in their direction.

The WH site shows a press briefing at 1100 am from Martha’s Vineyard by a Deputy Press Sec’y.
Rollin’ out the second banana press guy from MV. Yep....they’re really concerned.
This is one of the few times we can all hope the MB is telling the truth.
This cluster* looks like a perfect application for cluster-bombs, or napalm, or for severe infestation...a daisy cutter.
Just tell the counter protesters to get out of the way.
It's showing audio only. Probably a sternly worded Obama statement, to be followed up with a sternly worded Obama letter.
The action in Egypt obviously conflicted with his tee time....much like the bin Laden raid.
“hundreds killed, thousands injured.” sounds like a good START!
