#2 My take is that the Egyptian Generals may have huge investments in the tourist industry; which has collapsed since Morsi and the MB can into power.

#3 The Egyptian Generals also have a huge investment in being Egyptian Generals. If the MB takes over, there will be a rather large reduction in force, starting at the top.

#4 Beso, reduction in force? I don't think so. Change in faces in the force at the top? Indubitably.

#5 Raj - just the first leg. Going straight on to Mog and then Yemen. No need to waste a nice vacay

#6 Reduction in force? But that's how they've been introducing the draftees from up-river to the concepts of toilets and regular bathing with soap. Erdogan of Turkey showed how to deal with senior officers with independent ideas, and there is an entire cadre of MBs moving up the ranks and eager for promotion beyond their ability.

#7 If the MB takes over, there will be a rather large reduction in force, starting at the top.

They'll be treated to a lovely farewell picnic at an intimate location along the Nile, of course.

The Egyptors had lead time, saw situation, hammer down. It could still happen in Turkey..... Thought Clubs will out in the end maybe?
