I'd just leave my tanks loaded on my trucks and shoot bombs from them while loaded so clean up is easier.

lol at hauling in tanks on a truck. just ruins the moment when your tanks roll in, on a truck, then you have to unload them, then they roll in some more on their own.

Egyptian dude with me made a joke about the gas crisis.

Now we've got clashes between mil and MBers in street. Shots fired, but I think as warning. But it's officially starting now.

I really wish you'd leave the country, FR. Be careful!

Morsi has now been moved to the MinDef. Army says he is a "guest" (I think that's the word).

Pfft...they don't even have those things properly secured. No boomers and the chains aren't tight. Where is the Eqyptian DOT when you need them.

Friend sent me this. Tanks unloaded on bridge across from downtown.

Boots on the ground.

Does Morsi have much "military" type resources?

Text from Mormon 2: is there a lot of gunfire there?

Me: not really. For a coup, I guess.

Mormon 2: you think tabouleh's is still delivering?

(Tabouleh's is the Lebanese restaurant next to embassy).
