As world watches Syria, Egypt launches major campaign against jihadists in Sinai
FoxNews ^ | SEpt 16, 2013 | Paul Alster

While the eyes of the world are on Syria, Egypt's military is routing jihadists from the vast and lawless Sinai Peninsula -- and, according to some regional observers, showing the U.S. how to conduct a war on terrorists.

Although the jihadist activity in the Sinai could be as big a threat to regional stability as the civil war in Syria, Sisi's effort to confront terrorism at his doorstep comes without endorsement from the Obama administration, which has denounced the military takeover in Egypt.

"I am more than sure that the Muslim Brotherhood and its leadership in Egypt were actually encouraged by the Americans -- and not just in Egypt," Mordechai Kedar, a highly respected analyst of Islamic groups, and a former Israeli military intelligence officer, told FoxNews.com. "The State Department sympathized with the Muslim Brotherhood because they wanted Islamists to love America. They will do anything in order to look nice in the eyes of these Islamists."

Are you referring to the reality that we have muzzie in the WH who is intent on reestablishing the Caliphate - carrying out orders.

It's the da*m traitors in the pubby party that let him get away with it. There is no way they don't know the truth.

As you said,...

The Egyptians know it too — from the article:

“I am more than sure that the Muslim Brotherhood and its leadership in Egypt were actually encouraged by the Americans”

....Show America how to fight Jihadi’s? That would be to mercilessly wipe them out. Islam, especially militant Islam, believes if Allah approves they will succeed, and just as importantly if they do NOT succeed Allah is not with them.

There’s nothing more peaceful than a dead jihadist.

Americans are more in tune with Egypt right now,
than the Marxists, Communists, and al Qaeda-supporters
in DC who have flouted Law, the Constitution, and justice.

Hillary was HEAVILY involved in F’ING UP EGYPT, after F’ING up Libya with the deaths of four Americans. How she escapes responsibility for her epic foreign policy disasters is astonishing. Oh yeah, that misspelled Russian ‘Reset’ button too! She couldn’t even get THAT right.

WRONG!

“I am more than sure that the Muslim Brotherhood and its leadership in Egypt were actually encouraged by the Americans Obama administration.”

The US is acting like an abused spouse. We just keep crawling back to al Qaeda for more.

Who gains from this - MIC companies and politicians, Saudis, money center banksters. Guess we love the abuse of never getting love.

Key Iranian official says new leadership more ready to compromise to reach nuclear deal

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/09/16/key-iranian-official-says-new-leadership-more-ready-to-compromise-to-reach/

“A senior Iranian official says his country’s new leadership speaks with one voice on Tehran’s nuclear program and is more committed to making progress at the next round of talks with world powers than its predecessor.

Years of nuclear talks between Iran and the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany have been inconclusive. A new round is expected within the next few months.”

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.

[by “anti-government activists” is meant church-burning jihadists]
