Morsi meets with defense chief amid fear of military intervention in Egypt

In this Monday, Aug. 13, 2012 file photo, Egyptian Minister of Defense, Lt. Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, left, meets with Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi in Cairo, Egypt. Egypt’s powerful military is showing signs of growing impatience with the country’s Islamist leaders, criticizing their policies and issuing thinly-veiled threats that it might seize power again. The tension is raising the specter of another military intervention in politics much like the one in 2011, when generals ousted longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak to end the 18-day popular uprising. <AP Photo/Egyptian Presidency, File>
