Where to start with that rubbish?

Republican senators McCain and Graham have called the Egyptian event a coup and expressed their solidarity with the fundamentalists.
|
It is a coup, it is the textbook definition of a coup, there is no other way to describe it.
No one expressed solidarity with fundamentalists, they spoke of respecting democracy.
"The people who are in charge were not elected. The people who were elected are in jail. The status quo is not acceptable."

Calling it a coup could lead to an end of military aid to Egypt. They directly confront Kerry who avoided or refused to call it a coup.

The law is the law, if the US government doesn't like their law they can write a new one.
The State dept was again pushed at its press conference today to define the events in Egypt, it flatly refused to put any name to it because coup is the only name for it.
Or as Psaki put it..."We have determined that we do not have to make a determination"

McCain'S U-turn is remarkable. In 2011, in an interview with Der Spiegel he warned to allow the fundamentalists into government, and said exactly the opposite of what he says today:

No U-turn at all, he was speaking then of the transitory government.
Interestingly Egypts military recently reported that it was giving the MB places in the new proposed transitory government.
As a side note the deputy Sec. of State was also in Egypt, he had meetings with the MB yesterday about the restoration of elected government to replace the military dictatorship.
Maybe he too is as "senile" as Sky thinks McCain and Lindsey are
