Whatever happened to the August 24th Egyptian counter-revolution?

A wise blogger's predictions of a riot:

"Many people in Egypt predicted that the #August24 Protest will be huge failure for following reasons.
Logically people do not go to protest against new democratically elected president after 50 days of his rule.
Many of those calling for the protests like Abu Hamed and Okasha are false leader with no real popularity what so ever in the street when it comes to revolution or revolutionaries."

"The Syrian opposition activist THE_47th, who has reliably predicted major defections and other key events spotted a very unusual Tweet on the Al Mayadeen News Twitter account."

For months, President Barack Obama has batted away questions about possible U.S. military intervention in Syria, where government forces have slaughtered citizens by the thousands. Obama's tone intensified Monday when the president threatened direct military action if Damascus attempts to use chemical or biological weapons — or slips them to allied militant groups such as al-Qaida:

"Did Todd Akin's comments leave you wondering what a real rape is? Wondering how reproduction works? We can help."

"The dangers associated with Syria’s chemical weapons (CW) are a dire example of why non-proliferation of unconventional weapons must be a top international priority."

What fantastic legacies these regimes are leaving behind. Of course, in this case, it may be more a question of recovering the property of large landowners that was redistributed by progressive policies than doing anything for the sake of "Kurds" — unless he intends to distribute that land to all and any Kurds.
