"Taking advantage of the Sinai crisis to oust his rivals in the military, Egyptian President Muhammad Morsi fired Defense Minister Hussein Tantawi and the Egyptian chief of staff Sami Anan on Sunday, in a move that sent shock waves throughout Egypt and beyond.
A spokesman for the Islamist president announced on Egyptian television that the ejection of top military figures associated with the old regime represent the completion of the Egyptian revolution.
--------------------------------------------------
As I thought he would soon, Mursi has taken heart from the encouragement of the US government and the American professariat to begin the general purge of the Egyptian officer corps. Erdogan in Turkey has been more gradual in the process but he is headed for the same destination. That end state will be armed forces run by men who are now majors or some such thing and who will be more than happy to grow beards in order to wear a general's insignia.
So far, Mursi has fired the secular head of GID, Field Marshal tantawi, Anan, the chief of staff of the army and has assumed the power to abrogate decisions of the Egyptian constitutional court.
Bravo! BHO Administration! Bravo! You are well on your way to your unspoken goal of the total Islamst dominaation of the Middle East. Stay focused on those elections. Stay focused. pl
