When is a Military Coup not a Military Coup?

Apparently when big bucks are involved. It turns out we have a Law that says, in affect, we cannot send aid to a Country whose Government is the result of a Military Coup. Or something to that affect.

So President Obama dare not utter the dreaded "C" word, even though that is exactly what happened in Egypt.

If it quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, it's probably a duck.

Except when the President can't say "duck"

Talk about a quagmire. We really want to back this "coup" because having a bunch of Muslims turn Egypt into a Sharia Based Theocracy is not in our best interest.

But, what would happen if a bunch of Generals decided they didn't want the USA turned into a European Style Socialist regime.

We know it can't happen here, so we can have our cake, and eat it too.

Do they speak for the other 79 million?

My point is, when you are ok with a military coup because "the people demanded it", are you ok with it in our Country if "the people demanded it".

A coup is not a coup if you are for it. If you are not it is.
