Egypt leadership says diplomacy phase is over
Efforts by foreign envoys to solve the crisis in Egypt have failed and the Muslim Brotherhood is responsible, the interim government has said.
The presidency announced that Wednesday marks the end of the first phase of diplomatic attempts to resolve the turmoil, which has been spiralling since July 3 when the military removed president Mohamed Morsi.
...
"The Egyptian state ... holds the Muslim Brotherhood fully responsible for the failure of those efforts (by foreign envoys) and what may be the consequences of this failure."
The prime minister warned, meanwhile, that the government's decision to clear the ongoing pro-Morsi protests is "final," and urged demonstrators to leave, saying they had "broken all the limits of peacefulness."

Which sounds like "we think we're secure enough in power to attack the pro-Morsi protestors and get away with it, so we'll blame them now for us attacking them".
