1. Interesting ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.24.12)
Could there be a military coup in the works? Morsi has no support in the Egyptian military; that's why he's been purging the top military officers as fast as he could. Let us not forget that Morsi's greatest support came from the great Egyptian unwashed -- lots of those -- who are illiterate and vote based on pictures. Cartoon pictures -- which would about describe the Moslem Brotherhood to a tee. Interesting days ahead. Although I suspect that Morsi doesn't quite see it that way ....
2. Egypt's future is in Obama's hand.

If Egypt does not get the financial and food aids from US mostly, a gigantic explosion is expected. Bread prices are fixed with state subvention and if it will rise, masses remain without food. Unemployments are in the heavens, overpopulation is hopeless. There are two alternatives : civil war or emmigration. Europeans would be very happy to see 20 million migrants from Egypt or am I not right ?
3. hope egypt army will send "morsi" to the hell
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.24.12)
he is nothing but another US puppet.
4. #2 Lets not get carried away here
Truther ,   UK   (11.24.12)
Egypt's army could have possibly carried out a coup when Tantawi was removed but it didn't. They lost their chance, there's absolutely no way that the military under the current Morsi appointed defense minister would carry out a coup. The younger military officers (who were appointed by Morsi) are just showing the population that unlike their preprocessed they will defend the people's right to demonstrate. Morsi has more than likely already discussed this with SCAF, they both agree that the judiciary needs to be cleansed from Mubarak era/ Zionist stooges. Unless Morsi starts persecuting or murdering protesters, he will continue to have the backing of this current military leadership.
5. morsi
hatim ,   gaza   (11.24.12)
totally agreed
6. Morsi is no friend of Israel or the U.S.
Ken -U.S.A. ,   U.S.A.   (11.25.12)
He has allowed Iranian missiles and armaments in Gaza. Iran and Morsi and Hamas are responsible for any civilian deaths in Gaza.
