UH-OH: MORSI AND MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD SWIFTLY PURGE THE MILITARY

MORSI AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD DID THIS MUCH FASTER THAN ERDOGAN AND THE ISLAMIST AKP:

Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi has sacked the entire leadership of the country's defense establishment.   

Among the officials and officers fired are Defense Minister Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, and Chief of Staff Sami Anan. 

Morsi appointed Abdul-Fatah al-Sessi as Defense Minister and Lieutenant-General Sidki Sayed Ahmed as Army Chief of Staff. A judge named Mahmoud Mekki was appointed vice president. Morsi also ordered the retirement of the commanders of the navy, air defense and air force. The retired navy commander, Lieutenant-General Mohan Mameesh, was named as chairman of the Suez Canal. 

Morsi also cancelled all constitutional changes that gave the military enlarged powers. 

Last week, Morsi fired the Head of General Intelligence, General Morad Mu'afi, following the Sinai terror attack in which 16 policemen were killed. Egyptian news sources also said that Morsi had sacked the governor of Sinai. 

The Muslim Brotherhood's Morsi appears to be wasting no time in consolidating his hold over power at the expense of the military, which many hoped would be a moderating power over him.

THERE IS NOW, AS A RESULT OF THIS, ABSOLUTELY  NO ORGANIZED FORCE FOR SECULARISM OR MODERATION WITHIN THE GOVERNING APPARATUS  OF EGYPT - OR ANY  IN EGYPTIAN SOCIETY AS A WHOLE.

IT IS TIME TO SUSPEND ALL AID TO  EGYPT.

STAY TUNED...

UPDATE: ISLAMISTS LEAVING GERMANY AND HEADING FOR EGYPT:

Radical Salafists considered violent by Germany’s security services have been leaving Germany in droves in the past weeks, wrote the magazine. 

But rather than traveling to the conflict zone in Pakistan and Afghanistan, they are increasingly heading for Egypt, a high ranking security official told Der Spiegel.... Officials are concerned that terror organisations such as Al-Qaeda are planning to exploit the power vacuum in Egypt following the Arab Spring to build up their own structures there, wrote the magazine.

AS SYRIA EXPLODES, AND JORDAN WRITHES, THE ISLAMISTS ARE - IMHO - INVADING EGYPT AS THEY DID LIBYA AND SYRIA AND GETTING READY FOR WIDESPREAD JIHAD WITHIN EGYPT AGAINST ALL THEY CONSIDER INFIDELS.
