    Lowly army salaries explain Egypt's Islamist rise; junior officers make only $8 a month

The mentioned figure equals 48 LE which is stopped being a monthly salary for any one in Egypt since 1970. An apartment building guard in Cairo is paid 800 LE per month (i.e 133,3 $).
    Army officers minimum salaries are far higher than this.
    Silly joke.

    Thanks, Shelata, I was having a tough time believing those were proper wages.

    Not going to argue with your claim that the article is wrong but could you provide the real figures regarding army wages?

    Morsi will have no power to name his Defense Minister. SCAF announced next MoD will be Tantaoui.

    If Junior officers recieved such pay one could probably guess they would pilfer and steal from those below them. Egypt's army doesn't look like Chiang Kai-Shek's which was famous for such acts of pilfering and stealing wages and selling off the equipment and even food of its soldiery.

    The salaries of the low rank officers may be low, they get from the army everything for free: flat, car, food, medical care... They go for their vacations to military hotels, and so on.

    Morsi tells thousands in Tahrir Square that he won’t relinquish presidential powers

    In first public speech as president-elect, Morsi says he’ll work to release Omar Abdel-Rahman, convicted by the US in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing

    Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has no plans to visit Tehran next month despite recent media reports to the contrary, Morsi spokesman Yasser Ali said on Tuesday.

    Iran's Fars news agency has continued to report – despite strenuous denials by Morsi's office – that Egypt's new president planned to visit the Islamic republic next month to meet with Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadnijad to discuss the future of bilateral relations, al-Ahram newspaper reported.

    These kind of guys are famous for their doubletalk, and the content of their speeches depending on who is their audience

    The former is his true feelings.

    Maybe Iran is doing an extreme version of 'nudge nudge wink wink'?
