Obama Gives $1.5 Billion To Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood
What? I thought Egypt does not want our stinkin’ money.
Egyptians’ opposition to U.S. economic aid continued to climb in early 2012. More than eight in 10 Egyptians in February said they opposed U.S. economic aid, up 11 percentage points since December and up 30 points since April 2011 when Gallup first posed the question.
Oh, my mistake, they do want our stinkin’ money…or else:
Earlier this week, the Muslim Brotherhood threatened to sever Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel if the United States cuts off foreign aid to Egypt. The Brotherhood’s threats are escalating a political crisis at a time when democracy in Egypt is just starting to blossom
But I thought they said they would not run a candidate for President:
Muslim Brotherhood: We will not run for Egyptian presidency
Wait for it:
The Muslim Brotherhood candidate for Egypt’s presidency was cheered on by supporters on Thursday when he registered to run in an election where his main rivals will be other Islamists and candidates who served under the ousted president, Hosni Mubarak.
Khairat al-Shater, 61, a millionaire businessman and leading strategist in the Brotherhood, was named as its candidate last week in a policy reversal by the group that previously pledged it would not participate.
Surely Sharia Law would be a sticking point for Obama, ya know,considering his fight for women’s rights:
Today the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Khairat al-Shater told reporters that Sharia law would be his “first and final” objective as president.
What a bunch of bullshit! Would you trust this man and his Muslim Brotherhood ?
