Egypt army: Morsi resign in 48 hours or we move in

So this is how the cookie crumbles.

Cliffs:
-Egypt revolution to get rid of their decades long unpopular dictator.
-Election held, Muslim Brotherhood Candidate Morsi wins because they are the only faction organized enough to field a candidate. Reformists can't get their **** together in time.
-Most are hopeful of him, even if he is a "Brother", because he is US educated and backed heavily by Obama. (Approval rating 70% after election)
-Starts off strong by signing a peace deal between Palestine and Israel's latest conflict. Also limits the role of the army severely (this will come into play later).
-However starts to goof up. Typical Islamist goals of stronger role of religion in public life, starts trying to turn the country into Saudi Arabia.
-Instead of focusing on economy his administration starts to stuff Muslim Brothers into positions of power and making the country more Islamist.
-Dual backlash of bad economy and the population mad at the shady tactics of the Muslim Brothers.
-New protests, bigger than the ones that took out the dictator. (Approval rating = 20%)
-Army says enough is enough, if Morsi doesn't resign in 48 hours, they will move in to remove him.
-What is next?

Why doesn't Allah send angels to help the Islamist Morsi? Seems like Satan takes control again.

Allah used to send angels to help Muslims win battles, except in the battle of Uhud.

People are tasting freedom and freewill for the first time- I wouldn't expect them to get it right without making mistakes first.. They'll figure it out sooner or later

[woofermazing]

Army installs dictatorship.
Return to start.
Do not collect $200.

the islamists went too hard and phucked up. i think we'll see a slow-burner islamist next, like an erdogan type character and not before umpteen needless deaths of course.

No. Just no. They're trying to PREVENT the loss of liberties. Egypt is the home to not only Muslims but Christians, Jews, [insert other religions here], and even.. gasssp.. atheists!

Hopefully the Egyptians don't vote in another religious nut this time around.

How are you defining, "Islamist"?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's an opposition by the way, they believe that the Egyptian military is being told what to do by Washington.

I don't even give a sh*t what happens in egypt or who comes out on top. Its like cheering for retards in blue shirts instead of retards in green shirts, they're still retards. All I care about is that the U.S. doesn't get mixed up in that sh*t

[ZioBot]

Egypt is the home to not only Muslims but Christians, Jews,

there are more Egyptian Jews within a square mile of where i am now in the UK than all of Egypt.

Yes they are.. but dont worry, Obama (aka: Homie to the Muslim Brotherhood) will step up just like he has in 3 different nations (Egypt once already) thus far to back their play.. Obama loves to back A.Q.'s little brother...

Strong left outfield.

This is where a totalitarian military dictatorship steps in I assume.

General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is the guy in charge of the armed forces in Egypt. It'll be interesting to see what actions he ends up taking. Ironically some of the Egyptian media had accused him of secretly being with the Muslim Brotherhood a while ago. Morsi also was the one who appointed him after throwing out the old military leaders. Hopefully his concern for the protesters grievances are sincere. At the very least the Egyptian military tends to be pro-US and al-Sisi has had previous interaction with the US military. Also al-Sisi seems to have successfully worked with Israel in the past on issues. My impression of him is that he is much more moderate than other groups within Egypt and that he is unlikely to proclaim himself as leader for life but obviously that all remains to be seen.

Miliatary dictatorship or will he let new elections take place?

Obviously it's very hard to say especially since there is surprisingly little information about this guy out there. My impression though is that he won't be a military dictator based on some of his past actions. The Egyptian people stood up against Mubarak and now morsi, and the same will happen to him if he goes that route. I think the question is when will these elections be if morsi is kicked out of office. A month after or a year after? Also will there be restrictions on who can run (ie Muslim brotherhood and Mubarak era politicians)? How will the Muslim brotherhood react to being overthrown?

Obviously this is all based on the assumption that al-sisi carries through on his threat. It's possible that he won't or that morsi is able to thwart it or remove al-sisi from power (though that might be difficult given the military isn't very loyal to the Muslim brotherhood).

[BalkanPrince]

Whats hilarious is that the military is actually the true dictatorship in Egypt. lol, unbelievable. They hold all the power and Morsi was chosen by their blessing.

Egyptian people getting fooled again, just like with Mubarak.

facepalm.

The Turks will be watching enviously.

Bump... the ultimatum will be ready by morning for us in the US. Chit might go down...

[icetrauma]

I see Barry backed a winner here. He better keep our troops out of that region. We don't need another war/revolution to be involved in.
