Muslim Brotherhood wins again in Egypt

[YoUDeeMan]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

"CAIRO (AP) — Islamist candidate Mohammed Morsi declared victory Monday in Egypt's first free presidential election since Hosni Mubarak's ouster 16 months ago. But just as polls were closing, the ruling military council issued constitutional amendments that gave sweeping authority to maintain its grip on power and subordinate the nominal head of state."

After winning a large majority of seats in parliament...the Muslim Brotherhood now have apparently won the Presidency.

Fun times ahead, indeed.

BHO has handed Egypt to the brotherhood, helped them again with illegal bombings in Libya
Now on to Syria

Our new ally in the Mid East...good luck Israel

He gave Egypt 1 1/2 Billion in aid...money well spent
Good luck Egypt's Christians

Liked to be a fly on the wall when he was having his meetings with the brotherhood in the white house

Good luck America if BHO is reelected

The next domino to fall will be Jordan. Obama has already decided that King Abdullah has to go and will be replaced by the Muslim Brotherhood.

So Obama should have supported Mubarak then?

No, we should have installed at Democratic Governor!

VICHY, EGYPT!

So Obama should have supported Mubarak then?

Obama should have kept his damn nose out of it. If he had to choose Mubarak or the MB, I think U.S. interests would best be served by Mubarak.

Well that's the damn rub ain't it. On the one hand we should probably keep our nose out of nearly everything. On the other we have those all those damn national interests and ideals of freedom we espouse. So...

I'm more concerned about the diminishing freedom that we have at home. Our own liberties, or what remains of them, don't obligate us to make the world safe for democracy. When faced with a bad choice like Mubarak and a worse choice like the MB, I'll take the bad choice.

1) I agree with the first part.

2) Do you think it was Obama's speech several years ago and/or rhetoric during the arab spring that toppled Mubarak?

Barry Sortero is getting the nonpolar world that he wanted and campaigned on. See the lead editorial in today's WSJ.

Perhaps I should say "bipolar."

I also agree with the first part but think you need to take a longer term view on the second part. We've been supporting dictators like Mubarak for decades because it served our short-term interests and what has been the result? bunch of authoritarian (if they were on our side, totalitarian if they were on the Soviet's side) dictators oppressing their people (no education, no jobs, no hope) and lining their own pockets. That oppression helped to create the environment that is a breeding ground for revolutionaries and terrorists. I prefer revolutionaries to terrorists, when given the responsibility for government they have step up a little. What would Iran and the Middle East look like today if we hadn't overthrown over Mossadegh in 1951? When meddling in other countries' domestic politics you need to both take a long-term view and consider your own core values.

Only fvcking idiots didn't see this coming. Don't hear Maddow crowing about Arab Springs and reset buttons anymore. It is going to get worse, too.

Administration admits to 'hundreds' of meetings with jihad-linked group
The Daily Caller ^ | 6/8/12 | Neil Munro

President Barack Obama’s deputies are holding “hundreds” of closed-door meetings with a jihad-linked lobbying group that is widely derided by critics as a U.S. arm of the theocratic Muslim Brotherhood.

The admission of meetings with the Council on American-Islamic Relations came from George Selim, the White House’s new director for community partnerships, which was formed in January to ensure cooperation by law enforcement and social service agencies with Muslim identity groups in the United States.

“There is hundreds of examples of departments and agencies that meet with CAIR on a range of issues,” he told The Daily Caller, after being asked if his office refuses to meet with any Muslim groups.
CAIR is “the group with the worst record of deception and the deepest ties to terrorists,” said Steven Emerson, the director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, which tracks the public activities of Islamist lobbying groups.

“The White House is so clueless and/or compromised” when dealing with the brotherhood, said Robert Spencer, the author of several books about Islam and jihad. CAIR, he said, is “the political front of a radically repressive, Jew-hating, woman-hating organization.”

The House of Representatives last month prodded the Department of Justice to end all contacts with CAIR.

I agree completely with this.

I suggest everyone calms down, this election has yet to be decided. Besides that nobody even knows just how much power the military will decide to allow the new president to wield.
