    Obama's certainly done a good job of removing all threats to the Muslim Brotherhood and their rise to power in the Middle East. Egypt, Libya, and now Syria... I wonder which country is next?

    isnt he refusing to call what happened in Egypt a military coup... in order to keep funding the guys who REMOVED the brotherhood, arrested their leader and are now killing their supporters?

    I would say that, with Egypt, Mubarak was on his way out no matter what we did.

    And as we've seen in the last 6 months, the army holds the real power there.

    Morsi pulled a few stunts while in office, but he was met with a coup that essentially is creating the same regime as the one that came before him. I'm pretty sure this is indicative of our support for their military rather than any meaningful support of the Brotherhood.

    In Libya, the current government has a Muslim Brotherhood contingent, but it's definitely not the largest group. The majority of the legislature is actually composed of independents.

    When it comes to Syria, the largest group is Al Nusra -- a very different group from the Muslim Brotherhood. Al Nusra is far more radical than the MB.

    He is. He's also refusing to call Ft. Hood event a terrorist attack? That's Obama to you, being politically correct to the extreme.

    Is not it time you change your sig, Mellow Guy? We all know what happened when Obama took 3 O'Clock call... he went to play with Mr. Love :)

    Quote from the blaze article

    Eric Trager, an Egypt scholar at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy tells TheBlaze, “This sort of conspiracy theorizing is sadly common within the Egyptian media. It reflects Egyptians’ inability to take responsibility for the choices that they’ve made in the past few years – specifically, their choice to elect the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate in the June 2012 presidential election.”

    “Many Egyptians blame the United States for allegedly supporting the Brotherhood, when in fact we simply worked with the government that they elected, and some in the Egyptian media have repeated ugly conspiracy theories about President Obama to depict American policy as subversive,” he says.

    “It is also a sign that fascistic tendencies are hardening in Egyptian politics, since fascists always need an external enemy to justify their support for, or execution of, repressive policies,” Trager adds.

    “Newspapers have run more and more bizarre and farcical stories over the last few months, but this one indeed seems to be the oddest story to have yet been printed,” writes Middle East Monitor. “The American president could indeed be accused of many things, but being a secret member of the Muslim Brotherhood would be the least probable accusation one could level at him.”

    Much like some Egyptians- there are always Americans who eat up this kind of ugly story.

    So, given the apparent infallibility and complete accuracy of the Egyptian" press" should we now conclude that everything stated by the Egyptian "press" is the truth? Be careful with your answer......
