Who was the elected president in Egypt!

I believe that the Egyptians had indeed chosen Ahmed Shafiq as president, but that the Military Council (SCAF) were scared from the ability of the Muslim Brotherhood to mobilize the street. I think Field Marshal Mohammed Tantawi, Lt. Gen. Sami Annan and their colleagues thought they could win over the Muslim Brotherhood by declaring Dr. Morsi the winner, after that press conference which took a long time for some mysterious reason, on Monday, June 18. The senior members of SCAF proved Maj. Gen. Omar Suleiman right. In his last interview with me, he told me, word for word: There was injustice against SCAF because it was never political. It only led a transitional phase after Mubarak, and its goal was to preserve what was still standing. But SCAF is ill aware of the maneuvers and the guile of the Muslim Brotherhood. SCAF was fooled by the Brotherhood, believing it to be a strong organization that can be compliant. But the Brotherhood’s goal was to create favorable circumstances to obtain legitimacy, and for this to be the sole legitimacy in Egypt. I sat down with Maj. Gen. Omar Suleiman at his home in Heliopolis on May 16, 2012, and this turned out to be the last interview he ever gave to the press. He passed away on July 17, 2012, and four months after his death, we find out that he knew SCAF and the Muslim Brotherhood only too well, having predicted the problems that followed and the current ones.
