[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1766438, member: 1132"] SCAF has already stacked the deck in their favor with political seats now held by retired generals. They see the writing on the wall and don't really want to outright rule Egypt. That would interfere with business and the hostility of the people could easily be turned towards them, which is never good for business. Rather they'd like to give the outward appearance of legitimacy to a civilian authority that will not oppose or meddle in their affairs. I doubt the secularists will give them what they need. Right now they're sparring with the Brotherhood over how much control each will have and where the real power will lie. The Brotherhood is trying to "ease" into the seat of power without upsetting the entire country while doing it. By far SCAF and the Brotherhood have the country sewn up. The Salafists can cause trouble, but they have absolutely no control over SCAF, which has become more of a commercial and economic enterprise than anything else. SCAF will not outwardly support the Brotherhood. More likely, they'll work out an uneasy alliance with them to restore calm and get on with business. The less fuss the better. [/QUOTE]
