government and its adherents that is a peculiar way to describe it to call it a transition to democracy. so i and let s suppose that we ended up with muhammad elbaradei. it looks like it is not as final as it looked yesterday. but here is a man who has been no great friend of the united states. he has been when was head of the u.n. weapons agency he gave us fits in the effort to deter iran from its nuclear program just to cited one example. a kind of international bureaucrat that some people love. there are a lot of bad outcomes here and it is not at all clear to me we can get to a good one but we need to figure out as a nation and as an administration what is going on over here. how do you think the president is handling this? handling it by not taking
former democratic congressman dennis kucinich and juan williams. good morning to you all. good morning johnny is this john: is this going to embolden the islamic militants? i don t think we any way of knowing right now. this is completely up in the air as a jump ball would suggest. i would say that the question for americans is whether this administration s policy is designed to o bring about the desired outcome which would be kind of a peaceful and stable egypt on the path to democracy. the president said the other day, john, that speaking of this military coup and that is what it was is, that this is part of the transition to democracy. when the military throws an elected leader out of office and takes charge of the government and begins locking up leaders of the previous
days ago to the president, to the opposition faction, ordering all sides to fix this conflict? is the president s statement enough to satisfy the very loud people behind us who demanded for president morsi s ouster. it s important to note that in his statement, he gave no indication that he plans to step aside and, of course, last night, in his televised address, he clearly said that he plans on staying and clearly said and he plans on giving away his life if it means he has to defend what he calls legitimate transition to democracy. but that certainly is a significant development in his statement, suggesting that he s willing to make some concession, we will see how the opposition reacts. we will see how the armed forces react in the coming hours. it s so incredible, rezza, to see armed forces on the side of those protesters when just a year ago, they were charging through the protesters and killing them on behalf of that president that was ousted and is
morsi. the president says that would amount it a coup on the democratic leader of the country. the country is bracing itself for the political showdown. for the past several hours, president morsi has been meeting with key officials, including prime minister, to try and salvage his term in office. no indication he has come up with an agreement. if he fails to put an end to this political crisis, the military will intervene and chart its roadmap for the country s transition to democracy. some leaked reports say the military will dissolve the parliament, and the islam constitution and as a result many people here feel that amount to a military coup. there are great concerns among both sides that country is in fact heading towards a very dangerous showdown in coming hours. nbc news, cairo. thank you very much. the trial of george zimmerman will resume in just minutes and we will be right back. we ve hads farm for 30 years.
pennsylvania avenue. and this northern africa is an unsettled enough, libya s neighbor, egypt is receiving f-16 fighter jets from the obama administration. a total of 20 f-16sand 200 abrams tanks will be given to egypt this year. but why wasn t this deal scrapped after egypt a current president, muhammad morsi made comments like this? you americans, the government, are buying hatred by the people here, by the american people taxpayers money. you are buying hatred because of the hatred of your leaders. jeanine: joining me now, fox news national security analyst and fox news military analyst. all right, guys. last year, we gave egypt $1.6 bill whereon in aid. i believe a billion dollars of their debt was forgiven to bolster their so-called transition to democracy.
