2. Remember - the military is made up of conscripts. |
|
What is true with the military is that they tend to be MORE on the side Of the people than against.

4. This whole thing hinges on what the Egyptian army does, |
|
if they can be bought and by whom.

5. Feed came back. Reporter stating major push by military to take back square.. |
|
...said he'd never encountered so much teargas - he sounded amazed at the quantity - said 'maybe they'll run out of it soon'. But we know it is supplied by the USA - so they'll never run out of it!! We have to export something :puke:
