said he was "deeply concerned" over the Egyptian military's ouster of president Mohamed Morsi on Wednesday and urged a quick return to elected civilian government.

He also said he had ordered a review of the legal implications for U.S. aid to Egypt in the wake of the military's toppling of the country's first democratically elected leader.

#9  Does anyone think we [Americans] would ever oust our President? Just asking on this anniversary of our emancipation from the British and its odious and onerous laws of the time.

Yes, Nixon's the one.

#4  Libs spend an awful lot of time "learning" from experiences and not an awful lot of time "knowing" what the effect of doing something is going to be.

#3  I hope we can learn something from the Egyptian experience.

Folks here at the Burg did, B.

Not sure about our professional policy makers and wannabee overlords, though.

#2  Morsi simply did not move fast enough with governmental and social change; ie, his purge of the military, his sweeping executive orders, his control of the media, his spying on millions of civilians, his Egyptian IRS intimidation, lawfare, thought-police, social justice, his gov't controlled economy, or his weapons and ammunition confiscation.

In addition to the fact our intelligence services missed it again, I hope we can learn something from the Egyptian experience.
