It is official: Statement Number One

The Egyptian High Command has issued a statement ("bayan raqm wahad" (statement number one), which is usually the phrasing of coups in the Arab world.  But the statement is so lame: it does not take steps.  This is the worst bayan raqm wahad that I heard in my life.  It only says that it is in continuous session, but does not spell out any steps although it does speak of "legitimate demands" of people.
