'New coup looms for Egypt as sacking of generals horrifies US'

[The Northerner]

Egypt's president has taken his most decisive step yet to assert power over the influential military - sacking two top generals. The Defence Minister, who served as the country's interim leader after Hosni Mubarak was ousted, was dismissed along with the Chief of Staff. Morsi started to move more boldly against the army after an attack by militants in Sinai that killed 16 border guards.

That could absolutely be the end game - and then another from the old guard - or a new one from the younger guards with connection to the older guards is taking the place.. Morsi is not exactly a friend to the US, even though he for the short time he have been the president, do not have been rocking the boat to much yet....
