I don't know, but I'm just waiting to see how those M-1 tanks, and F-16's do against unarmed civilians.
The unarmed civilians of Eqypt thank you Mr. Obama. Btw... How well do those tanks and fighter planes fit in with Obama's Nobel Peace prize? Not too good I suspect...
What would be the consequences for the Israeli/Palestinian situation?

Egypt army takes over and establishes a Muburak style dictator-like leader with a Iran-Faux like Democratic vote where the military leaders PICK and APPROVE the candidates. However, this is EXACTLY what we want. Just as the military did under Mubarak, they will respect the truce with Israel, come down hard on Hamas and will openly taken on the extremist (aka Muslim Brotherhood)!
Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but better than Islamist!

Let's hope this is the case. But if we are involved we're liable to screw it up.
Update: 51 killed today

That is more reason for us to stay out (same with Syria). See how screwed up Iraq is! Don't let the non-media coverage fool you. Ditto for Libya.
We should have never have occupied Afghanistan. Attack, invade, bomb and hit them hard and get out, similar to how the Russians hit Georgia and left them to clean up the mess! That should have been our strategy!

My thoughts exactly! We should have learned our lesson from the Russians in Afghanistan. I will go to my grave believing that Bush invaded Iraq and killed Saddam and his sons in revenge for the assassination plot/attempt on his old man.

"Washington has expressed concern over the removal of Egypt's first freely elected president, and if the U.S. government determines that the army's move qualifies as a coup it would have to cut off more than a $1 billion in aid to Egypt, mostly to the military. The Obama administration has said doing so would not be in U.S. interests."

....more reckless spending as usual. "1 BILLION DOLLARS IN AID (mostly in military aid)." Why isn't that $$ being put towards building a securer border between Mexico/US ?? Still, to this day....the Government is still in the process of working on it...... Are they for real ? the logic: better to hand over A BILLION dollars to EGYPT for "AID" for F-16's and ....various other war toys AND most importantly, FOR EGYPT'S BEST "INTERESTS" NOT for the "U.S. of A's BEST INTEREST(s)." ....and exactly again, in laymen's terms, what ARE those interests.....................oil, the pyramids ?
"A BILLION DOLLARS"
"I thought it was a law that if there was a military coup in a country that we had to suspend aid. Are we saying that it was not a coup in Egypt?"
or the BRUTAL egyptian military 
??? the usual middle east "election process" madness.

By nightfall, though, the streets of the capital were relatively quiet as the security forces held back from any action despite warnings on Sunday that they were ready to dismantle the camps. Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy said every effort was being made to resolve the situation through dialogue. In a political development, the Nour Party said it could join the assembly writing a new constitution for the country, adding Islamist support to the military's political transition plan following its overthrow of Mursi last month. Nour is Egypt's second largest Islamist party after Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood.
The crisis brought on by the removal of the Arab nation's first freely elected president is now focused on the protest camps, where thousands of his supporters are demanding his reinstatement. At the al-Nahda camp, centered round a traffic circle and extending down a palm tree-lined boulevard next to the Cairo zoo, the mood was solemn but not fearful. Asked about the threat of a crackdown, Ahmed Shargawy, a 23-year-old translator, said: "They said that 15 days ago too. They always say they are going to finish it."
A block away, half a dozen armored troop carriers and a few squads of soldiers were positioned outside a police station, but they did not look like part of a strike force ready to move. The authorities are keen to end the protests but they held off from acting over the Eid al-Fitr holiday after the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. The holiday ended on Sunday. A security source said the delay was also because crowds had swelled the camps after reports of an imminent crackdown.
Army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is under pressure from hardline officers to end the sit-ins, security sources say. But Western and Arab envoys and some senior Egyptian government members have pressed the army to avoid using force. Fahmy said the right to peaceful protest would be guaranteed. But he suggested there was a limit to the government's patience. "It is not reasonable for any democratic government to have to accept sit-ins where violence is being used and the security of citizens and the country is being threatened," state news agency MENA quoted him as saying.
