You also have to keep in mind that, as we have seen on the streets of Cairo, the military is NOT a mindless puppet or sympathises with extremist leanings. And I honestly have trouble seeing all the officers operating Egypt's sophisticated equipment to go extremist overnight - which makes the use of Egypt's military potential at the hands of the Brotherhood extremely unlikely. Even if an extremist revolution were to occur, Egypt's military would lose a lot of its capability in the process, along with a supply line to the US that is crucial to keeping much of their machinery running.
