While You Were Watching Other News, There Was a Coup in Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood Now Controls Everything

It's just shocking how quickly Egypt has been taken over by the enemy.  The military was the only thing standing between and Muslim Brotherhood and dictatorship and it looks like they have been swept away.  Both the Defense Minister Tantawi and Army Chief of Staff Anan were "fired" by Muslim Brotherhood President Morsi in what looks like a negotiated exit to save the military men and their families from Muslim Brotherhood retribution.  As one democracy advocate told Time:

"I think the deal is [Tantawi and Anan] get a safe exit, and they hand the country to the Muslim Brotherhood," says Mamdouh Hamza, a prominent businessman and pro-democracy advocate. "Because quite honestly, if we apply the same law [to the generals] that we applied to Mubarak's family, Tantawi would be behind bars."

The new Defense Minister, Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi, is the very religious head of military intelligence who defended the use of "virginity tests" on female protesters in March 2011.

So what does this mean for Israel?  Nothing good.  The Defense Minister apparently isn't speaking to the Israelis but is speaking with Hamas, according to the Times of Israel.  Israel better start reinforcing its Southern Command or they could be in a heap of trouble quick.

And once again, Obama and his pro-Muslim Brotherhood State Department has made the situation of the United States and Israel much worse than it needed to be.  We need Obama replaced ASAP so we can start trying to reverse some of the damage he has done.  The sooner the better.
