With the US denouncing actions left, right, and center, it is tough to know what they stand for (or against) as the coup-less coup appears to have turned into a bloody civil war. Casualty reports vary; from 278 people dead (health ministry) to 2,000 dead (Muslim Brotherhood) including 43 policemen and from 2,001 injured (health ministry) to 10,000 (Muslim Brotherhood). As the dreadful images below suggest, the Egyptian people have grown divided beyond the point of no return, and despite the jingoist platitudes and rhetoric of John Kerry describing the "deplorable" situation on the ground, the reality of a civil war now seem inevitable. So with the US still stuck in denial (and for the CIA - phonetically so), pro-Mursi protesters clash with police, military, and one another as all hell breaks loose.
Raw footage of the day's escalating violence ... the following clip summarizes the day's aggression ... (See original article for videos)
Snipers on local Intelligence Agency roof kept over-watch...
The gas-mask-wearing army blockades...
And Egyptian riot police disperse Mursi supporters...
Protesters with their home-made weapons...
As the clashes turned bloody...
and left many dead...
It's getting so bad over there that I actually had to get off of Lovey's yacht in order to deny in person that they had a civil war going on among the peaceful Muzzies.
How much of this bloodshed was paid for with the American tax dollar, courtesy of John F’n Kerry and his butt buddy, the Marxist in Chief?
Related ... and something to think about as you watch events unfold there!
What do you suggest we do since we’re flat broke after playing world cop while it looted the American treasure?
Back to back, more decades long compassionate wars?
This is what happens when the United States helps foist an extreme Islamic government on one of only secular Islamic friends, and then the people there have to rise with their own military to throw it off.
Funny how they show all of these Muslim Brotherhood supporters being killed, but were quiet while large numbers of Coptic Christians were terrorized and many literally crucified in the streets in Egypt after Morsi came to power.
The Egyptian people and their military know what they are about, and they are trying to purge themselves of the cancer we helped inflict upon them.
And in the process, they are giving the finger to Obama and his ilk...and I am glad to see that part.
They deserve every bit of it.
In fact, I hope the Egyptian Intelligence people dig deep into Morsi and Benghazi and come out with the truth about our President that he and his abetting press will not tell. Should that truth come out...in the bald faced manner that it deserves to come out in...I believe the Obama administration will fall.
I hate to say it, you know the end times are near when a pathetic human being like him is able to attain that position.

I should have said I was referring to Kerry (and that Godawful picture)
They were sooooo eager to get rid of Mubarak and Gadhafi at any costs!!!
Here! Here! PINGO!!!
Kerry and Obama foist concepts and platitudes from the US Colonial experience, like ‘freedom of assembly’ on the Egyptians? What blathering idiots!
How removed from reality can they be? Egypt wants to survive, eventually, as a pseudo-Arab/Turkish Democracy in whatever form they chose but for now, it's a “thus vs. them” fight to see who will rule.
One thing is clear, led by the MB, Egypt would descend, ever so slowly into the abyss of the Sharia world and directly join the Iranian axis.
The Iranians are playing chess, the Russians are playing chess, the US...is out golfing.
Well, they dum down America with the express demand not to grade their little Marxists in school so they can become little Odumbo tyrants who can’t be criticize.
Only normal they would support the Taleban Morsi who would burn the Library in Alexandria and bomb the Sphynx as they threatened.
LOL!
Hope you're enjoying your DemocRat consolation prize of Secretary of State.
If my tax money is being used so the worthless Saracen bastards can kill each other I’m cool with that. Nice to know at the end of the day a bunch of ‘em have gone off to’’ Alpha Whiskey Romeo’’(Allahs Waiting Room’’).
Once again the media deliberately photographs politicians with the illusion of the halo. I have seen so many now.
Once again, the media is peeing on our leg and telling us it’s raining.
We need to butt out of their business. The MB crowd only understands violence and that is what it will take to stop their heavy handed theocracy.
At least they are losing more credibility the more times they do it by waking up more people now.
Nice halo, jerk.
excellent summary
unfortunately revolution comes with bloodshed as our own history shows
It is Egyptian blood being shed, not that of our troops and the Egyptians will have to work this out
Kerry McPain etc need to stfu and stay out of the way
obama’s embedded MB advisors are going to do everything they can to sway US policy to force Egypt to have islamofacists who abhor democracy as part of any new “democratic” govt
Nice halo there, Monsieur Kerry.
