Go look THAT up in your Funk & Wagnalls!!

I've noticed that the American journalists as a whole (hole?) do NOT know the meanings of words. In this instance, CNN. The clowns at the CNN Wire Service wrote an article about the military being in charge in Egypt. Very true, but...
.
Egypt's military dissolved the country's Parliament and suspended its constitution Sunday following the ouster of longtime leader Hosni Mubarak, telling Egyptians it would be in charge for six months or until elections can be held.

The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces said it would appoint a committee to propose changes to the Constitution, which would then be submitted to voters. The council will have the power to issue new laws during the transition period, according to a communique read on state television.

Sunday marked the first workday since Mubarak's ouster. For the first time since the uprising began January 25, traffic flowed freely around Tahrir Square -- the epicenter of the protests -- and the majority of shops around the square were open. Some protesters remained in the square Sunday, vowing to keep protesting until Egypt is under civilian rule.

The Egyptian junta now has to grapple with the economic problems that fueled the revolt, including massive youth unemployment and economic underdevelopment. The demonstrations virtually shut down Egypt's economy, costing it vital tourism dollars as well.

A Junta? In Egypt?
.
While I'll allow you that JUNTA is by definition a Military led government. However, by the end of the 20th Century the word came to mean a government TAKEN OVER by the military. Think Pinochet, think Saddam, think Qaddafi. Junta came to mean tyrannical, mean, hard to live under. Could anything be further from that in Egypt?
But knowing how things work at the Communist News Network, we KNOW what they meant. JUNTA they said, and JUNTA is what they meant!! The idiots. Do they READ or WATCH their own news reports? Or do they just expect Leon Pinetta do that?
.
The military council in Egypt had this situation dropped in their laps. And thank God for them. Many of the military leaders in Egypt were, and are, trained in the US and the UK. They are much more moderate in their views than other militaries in the Middle East.
.
The Egyptian Military has agreed to hold fast on ALL current treaties, that includes treaties with US and Israel. If the Muslim Brotherhood had taken control, do you suppose that would be happening. Would the CNN crowd would sleep better without the military controlling Egypt? Better still, if the Muslim Brotherhood takes over NYC and Atlanta and LA, how long would it be before the CNN Wire Staff was shorter, by at least a head?
