ALPACAJIZZ1: Stupid to the bitter end

So, reports are that the Egyptian military had talks, within the last week, with our government and assured us that they would not be in power for very long...and that they guaranteed the safety of our embassy and people.

Yet, our government said they could not confirm reports of a coup, but were watching the situation closely.

Yeah somebody got to it before me so I'll post another version:

So you're saying this administration is not being transparent?

That's an outrage!

The million dollar question is how much of the military would support the govt and how much would support the regular people. I think we would be surprised at how much of the rank and file would support the regular people.

The largest amount of support for the people would come from lower ranking enlisted men, E-4 and below. Troops on their first hitch. Supporters of the oppressor will be found in higher ranks as they have more invested in the status quo. Back when there was a draft there would have been zero support for the government and some fragings of officers and the Generals wouldn't have very many troops to carry out a coup with.

A lot of paychecks to those that are enlisted are dependent on the current government's continued existence. At the end of the day, its about money.

Says a guy who never advanced past E-4. I can assure you, having spent a career around mid-grade career officers there would have been a TON of support for the "people" amongst those officers I knew.

I predict civil war and Egypt being split into 2-3 different countries within the next 5 years.

The military blamed the attacks on so-called "terrorist" groups. Late Sunday night military helicopters dropped leaflets on pro-Morsi protesters in the Cairo university area calling on Morsi followers and terrorists to end their protests.

Meanwhile, Egypt's top Muslim cleric -- Sheik Ahmed el-Tayeb-- warned of "civil war" and announced he was going into seclusion as a show of protest to both sides until the violence ceases.

I wish the damned Egyptians would stop fighting and fix the gawdamn infrastructure.

This is embarrassing:

Sounds like the shit's on over there. Reports of military killing over 50 Morsi supporters.

Meanwhile, America is simply enraptured by the Zimmerman trial.

Right. Interest in international affairs lasts about 5 minutes, unless it's about the royal baby-bump. I'll take 10 Christiane Amanpours before I'd take one Nancy Grace.

Hey, he walked away....that's a successful landing, right? As opposed to the poor bastards up in Alaska where FIVE TIMES AS MANY people died in their airplane crash...

[Ibanez]

So how soon will America intervene in the Egyptian Summer?

You mean the one that wasn't in San Fran? The one in Alaska, where no one gives 2 shits about unless it involves oil?

Haven 't you heard? Alaska isn't part of America and all it is good for is OIL. God the news has sucked balls since this Zimmerman thing happened...well long before that but as of late it has been bad.

Not sure, but, YT said a Zimmerman is a white guilt thing. Still trying to figure that one out.

And I thought our dear leader was beloved around the world....

Haven't been out much lately, I take it?

Just read that 9 of the dead are from South Carolina. Let's have a moment of silence...
