it has really raised the level of tension in this already very tense city. few add, how do you see this? where do you see this going? you know, anderson, this is a major event and i think it s going to embarrass the army, it s going to embarrass the supporters of the army, and it s going to embarrass washington by extension. obviously, supporters of the military overthrow resist even using the term coupe. they say, look, this is an extension, a continuation of the revolution that occurred some two years ago, but in terms of what happens next, i mean, can one predict where this goes? i mean, if there are elections, would the muslim brotherhood be allowed to take part in upcoming elections? well, anderson, we really don t know, we don t know what the future holds for egypt, but we do know there s a kind of irony, that egyptian society turned to the military, you have young people cheering the apache helicopters as it flies
the supporters of deposed president morsi are claiming that they were engaged in early morning prayers when this happened, they were fired upon. they re calling it a massacre, but certainly regardless of how it started and who started it, it has really raised the level of tension in this already very tense city. fouad, how do you see this? where do you see this going? you know, anderson, this is a major event and i think it s going to embarrass the army, it s going to embarrass the supporters of the army, and it s going to embarrass washington by extension. obviously, supporters of the military overthrow resist even using the term coupe. they say, look, this is an extension, a continuation of the revolution that occurred some two years ago, but in terms of what happens next, i mean, can one predict where this goes? i mean, if there are elections, would the muslim brotherhood be

carney had to say? let me translate what jay carney is saying. he s saying i m going to ignore the law. the law says that when a military coup happens foreign aid should end. we are not suppose to be in favor of supporting military overthrow of democrat you canally elected government. i m no fan of the muslim brotherhood because i don t think they should have been given money because they appeared after a military coup as well. the president is flouting the law and saying i m above the law. that s the problem with this president. martha: there is a law on the books that says after a military coup we have to with hold aid until we can determine that we are giving money to a process of democracy. and the administration i would point out recently used that law in mali in a somewhat similar situation in the other way.
the u.s. says the brotherhood seems in no mood to participate. we don t accept this military coup and it s consequences you should not comment on this constitution declaration as it is produced by an illegitimate regime. there s some kentucky republican senator rand paul says there shouldn t even be any debate. we re not supposed to be in favor of supporting military overthrow of democratically elected government. i m no fan of the muslim brotherhood. i don t think we should have given them money either. paul is joined by democrats as well as other republicans, but democratic congresswoman says that there s a reason to continue the aid. we know the military will keep the peace treaties with israel and given what s happening in the region, we have to make sure that we do everything we can to promote stability. meanwhile other countries are voting with their checkbooks about egypt s latest transition,
