Egypt’s Islamist president ordered his defense minister and chief of staff to retire on Sunday and canceled the military-declared constitutional amendments that gave top generals wide powers.
It was not immediately clear whether the decision had the military’s blessing. Morsi has been in a power struggle with the military since he came to power on June 30. Shortly before he was announced the winner of elections, the ruling military council that took power after Hosni Mubarak’s ouster stripped the presidency of many of its key powers.
A tragic story that could have been avoided.

An interesting article published this past Friday.
My takeaways from the article:
1. CES’ actions – as usual – solely based on the politics meaning focusing only on getting re-elected.
2. Netanyahu needs to gain a stronger coalition in his government in order to proceed with what he thinks is the best for his country.
3. If Romney/Ryan ticket would actually gain traction and put CES in the rear view mirror at a far distance Israel might just act before the election.
Interesting informative article on Ryan.
I am quite pleased with Romney’s selection.
Excerpts:
Ryan, the seven-term representative from Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District, speaks quickly, as if the coming collapse might happen in the middle of his remarks if he takes too much time. It’s a bracing message. He is saying, in effect, that the American experiment, our 236 extraordinary years of self-government, is on the verge of failure.
And yet Ryan is smiling. It’s not the phony grin of a politician seeking votes, or the half-smirk of a charlatan putting one over on a group of rubes. It’s a real smile—the eager smile of someone excited to share important news. Paul Ryan believes he has the solution to these problems. And after a long and often lonely fight to convince his fellow Republicans that they should be talking about these issues, Ryan is succeeding.
Brownback says that Ryan is just not a political guy. “It’s all policy to him,” Brownback says. “People don’t appreciate just how much of a policy guy Ryan is and how little of a politician he is.”
“America faces a choice between two fiscal and economic futures,” Ryan wrote in the introduction.
In one, the Federal Government attempts to satisfy the multiple needs of a changing population, in a rapidly changing world, with outdated policies that demand ever-rising levels of public spending. The effort overwhelms the government’s capacities, and smothers the economy under crushing burdens of debt and high taxes. It is a future in which America’s best century is the past century.
The second future calls for a transformation—or more accurately, a restoration of the principles that created America’s freedom and prosperity. It is the path set out in a plan I have developed called A Roadmap for America’s Future.Ryan has already achieved one objective he’d set for himself when he decided to remain in Congress and work on entitlement reform. “My goal was to move the center of gravity in the Republican party on these issues.
It seemed naïve, maybe impossible before he started. His next goal could be characterized the same way. “There’s no way you can actually save this country from a debt crisis, and save the American idea, if you don’t do the kinds of things we’re proposing,” Ryan says. “We’ll see how it ends.”
Israel willingly acceded to Cairo’s request for permission to deploy fighter planes and armored troop carriers in Sinai – a demilitarized buffer zone under their 1979 peace treaty – in support of President Mohamed Morsi’s counter-terror offensive against lawless Islamist bands. debkafile reports: It was soon realized in Washington and Jerusalem that the “offensive” was largely bogus and being used less for eliminating Salafi terrorists and more for purging the Egyptian military of pro-Western influence and promoting its takeover by the Muslim Brotherhood.
2 cents:
Deja vu – as I have shared since June what is going to happen is MB/Islamists usurping the nation of Egypt and plunging it into the darkness of radical Islam (see Taliban and Iran for examples). Of course Washington is shocked (they have been for quite awhile – or so they say.) Remember the CES, our miserable president, wanted the MB to win because the MB only wants democracy to flourish in Egypt (wink, wink).
It is happening in front of your eyes, that is, if you are watching.
CES = chief empty suit
