Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy on Saturday announced a December 15 referendum date on what could become the nation's constitution, shortly it was presented to him by the Islamist-dominated assembly that crafted it.
While his supporters cheered the move, there was little indication the vote or anything Morsy said would placate the opposition.

Where is the outcry? This Egyptian leader is doing things the last one NEVER could have gotten-away with. Hillary? Where is the State Department? an emected official is morphing-into another dictator right b4 your very eyes! Which begs the question: how many democracies have been taken-down by the West in favor of dictatorships?
If it would help this investigation, would you be willing to go off your meds?
EVERY new constitutional government stumbles and flails before they get it right. If you read US history, you know that ours was not adopted any differently. While one may not agree with the concept of a religion based secular state, it's their nation and their beliefs that will determine
which principles their government will adhere to, it's not up to the outside world to condemn threm!
woof
Hurray for the ONE person who single handedly destroyed a national blog site, and to those that not allowed it but encouraged it to happen! RIP TJI! Que sara, sara!

QUE SARA SARA ,WHATEVER WILL BE WILL BE: WHAT EVER CNN WANTS YOU TO SEE.
What we got from newscaston any actions in middle east to the arab spring democracy movement from our so called media news was no more than what policy wonks in dc said was news or not, has nothing to do with truth.

Amazing how these stories "linger", for two days at the end of the week. Either news doesn't happen on Saturdays and Sundays (unbelievable), or CNN doesn't want thier writers at work so they don't have to pay overtime (cronie capatalists).

Where are the females in this holy crusade for democracy in Egypt?
Seen or heard from them at all?
I mean the ones in Egypt and not the knobheads beneath Hillary in DC.
Going a bit off thread, Huh! Just remember before denigrating "Hillary"'s performance at State....That she carries out Mr Obama and his security council's policies... period. You may not like her personally, but every word, every policy statement, her every political move irepresentives the position of her boss!
That's ..."represents"
Good morning all.
We have seen Morsi to be a fighter but I do not think that he has ambitions of lifetime rule. He does though seem adamant on getting a constitutuion aligned with his ideology. However the opposition is equally adamant and we see the two moving towards confrontation which would spell trouble for the country.
What needs to be done at home is to grasp the changing dynamics and sentiment on the ground in a fast changing world and mold our policies to flow with them to our interest.
good morning folks.
Not being able to post.
That Morsi is a fighter, we have seen. He will strive to get a constitution that is aligned with his ideology. The opposition is equally adamant. Confrontation looms which spells trouble for the country and the democratic process.
Since early morning.
Why these snippets go thru not the comments. Anybody's guess.
