#1 Interesting the salafists are supporting the coup. Could just be politics.

#5 Turkey's Erdogan must be a bit uneasy about this. This just might be what the people needed there.
Many of his military were sacked also.

#7 Army has stormed and shut down Al Jazeera Egypt.

Odd.

I've been watching AJ online and I'd say their coverage is pro-coup.

#8 3 or 4 days ago, Obama was warning the Copts to not demonstrate against his bitch Morsi. Guess America's President forgot about the people with tanks.

Fubar.

#10 All afternoon the CNN was using the lower screen post as 'Morsy with a 'y' ousted'. Maybe they are trying to make sure they have access there like Iraq..

#11 CNN is actually covering it? Or is that the five minutes in between their coverage of the Zimmerman trial where they display Zimmerman's SSN and other personal data?

#12 It would seem that a secular military junta is preferable to a Sharia law-driven Islamist government despite what Champ says.

#13 I remember asking this question before but I don't remember if there was an answer..... what flavor of tanks are those in the picture? Some US light tank pre-dating the Sheridan? A Chaffee?

#14 Mubarak was also military. I think that he was a fighter pilot in the 1973 war with Israel.

#15 what flavor of tanks are those in the picture?

M47 Patton.
