#2 I'm coming to the conclusion that the military is going to do what the Turkish military did for a very long time. Keep the secular order, to keep the Islamists out of power.

They know that if the MB get control, the first thing they will do is utterly purge the military, replacing all its senior officers with Islamists. They saw this happen quickly in Iran, and slower in Turkey, but with the same result.

#3 All they want is civilian control over the military...and then after being elected the new government will use that civilian authority to put down all opposition.
