Egypt's top general: armed forces will not allow a "certain group" to dominate the country - Oh, except his own group, that is

General's remarks raise stakes in Egypt

Egypt's top general raised the stakes Sunday in the military's political standoff with the Muslim Brotherhood, saying the armed forces will not allow a "certain group" to dominate the country.

Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi's tough comments came only hours after he met with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who urged him to work with President Mohammed Morsi, of the Brotherhood, on a full transition to civilian rule.

The military, which ruled after the fall last year of Hosni Mubarak, and the Brotherhood, the country's strongest political force, are in a competition over power that has intensified with Morsi's winning of the presidency last month. Days before Morsi was sworn in on June 30, the Brotherhood-led parliament was dissolved. The generals gave themselves legislative and budgetary authority and control over the process of drafting a new constitution, putting severe limits on the president's authority.

In his comments Sunday, Tantawi did not specify the Brotherhood, but his reference that the military would not allow the group to hold sway was clear.
