    - Andrea Mitchell just said the Army was going to force him out... - Remlik Feb 10, 08:11 11
      - how would they force him out without taking over? -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:12 1

        As Americanadians, we can't conceive of such a scenario as the military forcing a coup. - con_carne Feb 10, 08:15
        
        I think it will. People like the Army. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:13 6
        
        yup, a coup led by the army has never gone wrong -- nm - Beaker Feb 10, 08:27 5
        
        The rest of us will get our commentary from people whose knowledge of world politics doesn't begin and end with rewatches of Moon Over Parador -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 08:32 4
        
        so you really don't think an army led removal of a leader is a dangerous thing? wow. -- nm - Beaker Feb 10, 08:36 3
        
        *Potentially* dangerous, yes. Guaranteed dangerous? No. -- nm - TWuG Feb 10, 08:44
        
        In the case of Egypt, that ship sailed long ago. -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 08:43
        
        no one is saying that. but it beats people rioting in the streets. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:41

According to the Prime Minister. So, pretty much any news organization can now say "maybe." -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 07:50 1
