Morsi: My supporters are many and they won’t be silent.

Morsi: But this way it will be a military coup, and America won’t leave you alone.

I'm not surprised the Brotherhood's man figured America would have his back.

This Sisi guy sounds pretty damn reasonable

Why dont they elect him?

rulers all over the world, take note. legitimate power springs from the consent of the governed. If you hold power by any other means you are illegitimate

I thought this jihadi had threatened to die in office.

Turns out his commitment was not so great.

Bet that General about burst out in laughter when Morsi said “Obama will stop you”.

Al Sisi has a lot of self control. Of course, we don’t know the tones of voice or decibel leve.

Very interesting read. This ain’t over - by a long shot.

Sisi: "The matter is settled and no longer up to you. Try to leave with your dignity and tell those whom you call supporters to go back to their homes in order to prevent bloodshed, instead of threatening the people through them."

Morsi: "But this way it will be a military coup, and America won’t leave you alone."

Meaning what? "America" was behind him? Makes you wish Sisi had first asked Morsi who he wanted to call, before Sisi denied him any calls to anyone but family.
