Today the President, the People’s Assembly, and the Supreme Court had
a showdown. But the Army is surely watching. And on that showdown hangs
the future of Egypt and whether it will go to war again.
Morsi recalled
the People’s Assembly, thus openly defying the Court. The Assembly sat
for five minutes. But it also said it would get other legal opinions on
whether the Supreme Court acted properly last June.
The Supreme Court swiftly answered the President and Assembly. They ruled
that Morsi had no legal right to recall the Assembly. Several people
gathered in Liberation Square in Cairo to protest the ruling.
So now, as the Los Angeles Times said (even before the Court ruled today), the President and the Army are fighting for power. The Times
seems to think that the Army must be careful not to rile the people, or
Egypt’s treaty partners. The editors also said that this is only the
beginning.
Barack H. Obama, putative President of the US, doesn’t seem to want
to say out loud whom he wants to win this fight. Yesterday he said he
would meet Morsi at the White House this September, when the UN General
Assembly meets. Now (according to UPI) he says he’ll see Morsi at the UN.
Morsi has gone all-out, and is fighting to win. If he blinks before
the Army now, no one in the Middle East will take him seriously. The
world will know that he can threaten to break treaties and go to war all
he wants, but if the Army does not want to march, it will not march.
To win, Morsi will have to replace the commanding field marshal and
maybe every general with any real authority. The only questions then
will be:
- How fast will Egypt break its treaty with Israel? And:
- Can Morsi find a general who can succeed where Nasser’s and Sadat’s generals failed so miserably in 1967 and 1973?
So what say you? Will Morsi win his wrestling match with the Army? Or will he lose?

Why play games? Funny how we play "it's alright to have elections!" until the elections don't go our way... Then it's all gloom and doom.
After all 532 votes got us this... Was it worth it?
Bad choice...
See In MY reality we would have never gone to war in Iraq...and hundreds of thousands wouldn't be dead, and we wouldn't have wasted BILLIONS of tax dollars... and on and on and so on....
And also with equipment sold to Saddam from an American company... (Bell Helicopters).
Care to know who was behind that deal?
Hmmm... reality bites doesn't it...
Ever stop to reason with your logic of warmongering one day, and making deals with photo's proving that we're the one's creating the problems in the first place...
Or does it just feel better playing god?
Starting to get the picture now?
Seems you're always worried about the Red Herring in the room.
Why should I really consider...
It's not going to effect me one bit!
In fact, I prefer that they all just die over there, just to not hear another warmongering "the sky is falling" blog.
Enough already... get a grip man...
"He says President Morsi announced that he broke with the Muslim Brotherhood but he did not, and now takes his decisions from the Brotherhood's highest ranks. He says the people just want him to make his decisions as an individual and the nation will support him, but if the Brotherhood gives him an agenda to execute they will reject that."
"In what some here see as a sign that relations between the president and the military's top ranks have not completely broken down, Morsi and the head of the military council appeared together Monday at a military graduation ceremony."
