Before any of us gets too happy about this turn of events I URGE YOU to read these two fine articles about the Egyptian military.

The first about its role in the industries of Egypt (how they nefariously hoard the fruit of Egypt - the people's fruit - with corrupt civilian dictators, the military's puppets)

The second is about the military's role in arrests, abuse and torture throughout this uprising. Very sobering as we celebrate their ascendancy. A realty check that will shock you. Literally!

He wouldn't have murdered anybody without the support of the U.S.. That's how we knew he had chemical weapons, we still have the receipts! Saddam was no different than Al-Qaeda, they were both supported and armed by the U.S. long before they turned against us. I think they call this phenomena, "blowback."
