The Egyptian government is set to declare on Wednesday that foreign mediation efforts to end the political crisis in the country have failed, Reuters reported Tuesday night, citing the Al-Ahram newspaper. …
It would also declare that Muslim Brotherhood protests against the army’s overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi were non-peaceful—a signal that the government intends to end them by force.
The report appeared hours after two senior U.S. senators on a mediation mission said they considered Morsi’s removal to have been a military coup—causing an uproar in the Egyptian media and drawing a strong riposte from the acting president.

Egypt knows 0bama’s a wimp. Let’s hope Egypt stays on course and doesn’t give in to the MB (0bama’s people).

ha!
fix it with Botox?
good question
Taqiyyah. It’s already gained him a military presence in the Sinai. Egyptian tanks are now stationed on Israeli borders for the first time since the Six Day War.

Before anyone runs with THAT (Sisi = terrorist) as fact instead of speculation, I suggest they spend some time reading the comments after the Foreign Affairs article.
What is fact is that we are managing to alienate a country who could be a valuable, if imperfect, ally, much like Turkey was for many years.
That was done as soon as Mubarak was deposed.
And that Foreign Affairs article was written by a professor at the US Naval Postgraduate College, who did review Sisi’s US Army War College thesis. It’s not speculation.
