“The army chief, who also serves as defence minister, led the toppling of former president, Mohamed Morsi, in July. Analysts say Monday’s announcement was intended to show that he has the full support of the military establishment. Earlier, interim president Adly Mansour had promoted Sisi to the rank of field marshal…………..”
So Al Sisi stages a coup d’etat, digs Adly Mansour Al Zombie out of bureaucratic obscurity, dusts him off and appoints him interim president of all Egypt. Oh mother of the world. Now Adly Mansour Al Zombie returns the favor: he promotes Al Sisi from a mere general to field marshal. I had told him, right here, not to promote himself, but he did it against my wishes and my best advice.
Now Al Sisi is the equal in rank, if not in experience or cunning, to such illustrious soldiers as Erwin Rommel, Bernie Montgomery, Ney, Zhukov, and Field Marshal Shaikh Khalifa Al Khalifa of Bahrain. No battles necessary anymore. No need for El-Alamein, Auzterlitz, Stalingrad. Or maybe it was the old Egyptian War on Pigs of 2009.
Even fat Marshal Hermann Goering was a war hero of WWI, an air force ace before he became a Nazi and a gluttonous thief. Even the late Gamal Abdel Nasser was humble and modest and did not promote himself above the colonel he was when he took power. Come to think of it, even the maniacal Gaddafi remained a colonel until his death.
Mansour also pushed the parliamentary elections back to after the presidential elections. Marshal Al Sisi will win the elections by a huge majority. He will appoint Mr. Adly Mansour Al Zombie as, oh maybe chief of some court or minister of justice, or maybe his private chauffeur. Or maybe a chef.
