Obama to Egypt: “Arrest Muslim Brotherhood Leaders and We’ll Cut Off Your Foreign Aid”. Navy Warships in Red Sea Close In!

Our current administration's foreign policy is such a clusterfuck. They don't know what to do anymore. It's embarassing and sad at the same time.

well, that is because you are an idiot.

You don't know that. No one does. They just gave 8 billion combined.

We give 1.5 billion a year. That's more than 5 years of US aid they gave.

Can anyone say what the situation will look like 5 years from now? We will have a different president by then. There could be at least 2 more coup's in the next 5 years.

Ok, Genius. Explain the logic in waiting to threaten the withholding of funding until after Egypt has secured 5 years worth of US aid from neighboring countries?

Obama is incompetent and doesn't want to get involved. But the wholesale arrest of a political organization is not something he can sit by and not condemn.

No they don't. our aid has been ongoing for decades. The Saudis, Kuwaitis and UAEs will not be reoccurring.

Doesn't want to get involved? You do realize that there is a large contingent of Al-Nusra MB fighters in Syria. You do realize that this Administration has helped arm, train, and deploy them to Syria.

To me, it shows that our Government is more afraid of the MB than the Egyptian Military is.

You do realize that this Administration has helped arm, train, and deploy them to Syria.

foreign Governments have committed to 20 billion in aid to egypt..

The MB is a fascist movement supported by the white house. The white house is playing the sunni card through the MB against Syria and Iran. Iran is Israels arch enemy because they are independant from western influences and have a highly educated population.

The MB's goal is an islamic caliphate in the middle east and beyond.
Morsi wanted to wage jihad against shia and other infidels in Syria. This was the last straw for the Egyptian military, they only intend to protect Egyptian borders and not to wage some jihad.

AAAAANNND one of his first acts in his first term was to order 100 White House positions to be created SPECIFICALLY for Muslims ONLY. At least 6 of those positions have been filled by KNOWN members of the Muslim Brotherhood. How many more are filled by UNKNOWN members? And just exactly WHAT ARE those positions?

there was no last straw. this was the egptian military's plan all along.

hence why police are now working again and there are no longer any power outages.

That is new york times speculation and propaganda, no proof accordin to Bel Trew

Talk about chutzpah! Barack Hussein Obama has the nerve to tell the Egyptian people to STOP arresting Muslim Brotherhood members

[link to www.barenakedislam.com]

this! Only intelligent thing written in this thread.

The Obama administration on Thursday sharpened its criticism of the Egyptian military and interim government’s arrests of supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, saying the continuing detentions are inconsistent with pledges of inclusivity made by authorities and may affect future US assistance.

While the administration has determined it is not in US national security interests to make any immediate changes to its aid program, officials said the continuing arrests of members of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood and political party are troubling. The criticism is some of the most severe of Egypt’s new leadership since Morsi was toppled last week and came a day after arrest warrants were issued for the Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual leader and nine other Islamists accused of inciting violence.

The White House and State Department both warned against targeting any particular group in the aftermath of Morsi’s overthrow, calling it self-defeating and counter to the idea of restoring a democratically election civilian government.

“The only way this is going to work successfully for the Egyptian people is if all parties are encouraged and allowed to participate and that’s why we’ve made clear that arbitrary arrests are not anything that we can support,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said. “We could not support those, because if you’re arresting individuals from one group or one party, you’re working against yourself if your effort is to be inclusive as you make this transition back to a civilian, democratically elected government.”

At the State Department, spokeswoman Jen Psaki echoed those comments and went further, saying that the arrests contradicted assurances given to US officials by the Egyptian military and members of the interim government.

“The arrests we’ve seen, of course, over the past several days targeting specific groups are not in line with the national reconciliation that the interim government and military say they are pursuing,” she said. “If politicized arrests and detentions continue, it is hard to see how Egypt will move beyond this crisis.”

You're confusing me with somebody else...the same guy who called me a "felool"....a word used for "remnants of old Regime". Just because I tried to make some sense.

How about you shut the fuck up and get with the facts instead of hurling personal insults.

American Idiot! If it wasn't for you guys meddling everywhere in the Middle East, we wouldn't be sitting here having this discussion in the first place.
