Report Suggests Ahmed Shafiq To Be Declared Egypt’s President


If true, this will be yet another seismic event, and one that will this time be the catalyst to ferment the chaos of Cairo.  If the seeds of yet another revolution begin to sprout it’ll be interesting to see how Egypt’s military responds, not to mention what America’s pro-Islamist Obama Administration and Islamic states such as Turkey and Iran have to say …
