GAME-ON

Long War: The Muslim Brotherhood has picked Mohamed ElBaradei as their representative in negotiations with the Egyptian Army that will probably lead to the creation of a unity government with ElBaradei as caretaker Prime Minister until the next election is held. The Brotherhood can say that ElBaradei is their puppet but it won't work out that way. He is, after all, a western oriented sectarian leader. And he has plenty of anti-American credentials, which will quiet the angry mob. There is a difference between anti-American and anti-Pentagon. ElBaradei is not anti-Pentagon, so the GAME is okay.
The military alliance between the Pentagon and the Egyptian Army is the only thing that matters. When the rioting began the senior staff of the Egyptian Army were all in the Pentagon discussing how to destroy Al-Qaeda. American and Egyptian officers rushed into the hallways and put their heads together over the contagion effect of the Jasmine Revolution.
And now, a week after the crisis started protesters on the streets of Cairo still scream pro-military slogans. It seems evident that the protest movements in Tunisia and Egypt would accept military rule until elections are held. It would be better if the respective armies could install civilian governments.
The possibility still exists that Tunisia and Egypt will develop governments similar to Turkey's, i.e. a democracy with an Army able to overthrow any elected government that acquires a taste for jihad. And the Army maintains an active alliance with the Pentagon and CIA.
A country structured like that could be said to be a Global American Military Empire Organized Nation. The acronym then is GAME-ON.
