From the same article -
Quote:
The Egyptian military issued a communiqué pledging to carry out a variety of constitutional reforms in a statement remarkable for its commanding tone. The military’s statement alludes to the delegation of power to Vice President Omar Suleiman and it suggests that the military will supervise implementation of the reforms.
Quote:
The military also said that it would oversee the amendment of the Constitution to “conduct free and fair presidential elections.”
Quote:
“The Armed forces are committed to sponsor the legitimate demands of the people,” the statement declared, and it vowed to ensure the fulfillment of its promises “within defined time frames with all accuracy and seriousness and until the peaceful transfer of authority is completed toward a free democratic community that the people aspire to.”
From what I gather, The military seems to attempting to take control UNTIL elections can be held.
