Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis pick for undersecretary of defense for policy, Anne Patterson, is problematic.
Politico briefly explains why:
If nominated and confirmed, Patterson would hold the fourth most powerful position at the Pentagon -- and would effectively be the top civilian in the Defense Department, since both Mattis and his deputy, Robert Work, were military officers.
As ambassador to Egypt between 2011 and 2013, Patterson worked closely with former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and his Islamist government. She came under fire for cultivating too close a relationship with the regime and for discouraging protests against it -- and White House officials are voicing concerns about those decisions now.
This is putting it mildly. Back during the months leading to the June 30, 2013 revolution, Patterson -- the Brotherhoods Stooge as she was called by all, from news analysts to the Egyptian street -- was arguably one of the most hated individuals by the millions of Egyptians who took to the streets against Morsi and the Brotherhood.

“Patterson worked closely with former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and his Islamist government.”
Trump needs to override Mattis on this.
How can you “drain the swamp” in you leave mohammedan brotherhood sympathizers in the government?
Declare the mohammedan brotherhood a terrorist outfit without any more delay!
I’m beginning to wonder WTH is going on in the WH.
Things aren’t going on as advertised.
Trump needs to straighten this mess out before the snapping alligators eats him alive.
Mystifying indeed. Very disturbing background and one that does not bode well for American interests. Trump needs to pull the plug on this nomination ASAP.
This is BAAAAD
We really need Egypt to trust us and work with us
WHATEVER ARE THEY THINKING??????
bump!
Im beginning to wonder WTH is going on in the WH.

At times it looks like amateur hour. Trump is not being well served by whoever is responsible for vetting.
“President Barack Obama himself, among other personnel from the US administration, promised Egypt $2 billion in the form of debt swaps and credit guarantees in 2011, shortly after Mubarak was unseated. These promises, however, have yet to materialise.” (”US ambassador discuss[es] assistance to Egypt,” Ahram Online, 17 August 2012)
THE IMF, EGYPT, AND THE US SUGAR DADDY
On 15 August the Egyptian Finance Minister Momtaz El-Said met with US Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson on Wednesday to discuss previously promised US funding, as well as Egypt government efforts to restore Egypts national economy and a prospective International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan.
Regarding the IMF loan, Patterson said that given the political stability it was a “good time” for Egypt to resume negotiations with the IMF.
Thanks for the post.
Trump will soon ‘get an earful’ about this.
I think this is old news and Trump already put the kibosh on her.
Reince
But “pleading with you. ..tears in my eyes...I didn’t bring artillery. I’ll kill all of you”....blah blah blah.
Sgt Wuteruich and Haditha.
Mattis is very comfortable with the globalist neocon goals. He wants Assad removed. He wants a Palestinian nation.
He bears close watching.
Man,Egypt was a basketcase.
Let me throw this concept out there. Maybe it’s from watching too much NCIS.
Suppose the Trump people, now undoubtedly learning a whole bunch of horror from that former administration of sleaze buckets, communists and perverts. Suppose they find out that this woman was a traitor to America BUT....at the behest of the rats before her and I dunno, maybe she really believed in the Muslim Brotherhood as the good guys.
The Muslim Brotherhood, I remind, is the group headed by Valerie Jarret and Huma Abedin. They are not the good guys although for a small fee Obama will give them weapons and Hillary will make wild ass treaties.
The MB is basically a group of anyone, NOT a Shiekh or poobah, that wants to take over the Mideast and all the oil that the Saudi nuts have no exclusive right to.
The MB takeover in Egypt did not work. Bear in mind that Egypt had a big riot a couple days before Benghazi.
Eventually the MB was thrown out because nobody wants to be governed by a bunch of strangers, not even the stupid Muslims.
Obama and Hillary received mucho bucks from the Muslim Brotherhood and they returned many favors.
Maybe this person was thrown up against a wall-figuratively-and told they better help or they’re going to jail.
I dunno, mock if you will. But there is a cesspool of corruption, even more than I ever dreamed possible, from those prior horrible people running this country.
I’m just saying maybe bit tongue.....I still have great faith in Trump.
Is this the General often referred to as “Mad Dog”?
Mmmmm...
Because he is smarter than media in pajamas
If Mattis did this without Trump’s approval (dont know if he needs it) then Trump can undo it.
Trump is in charge of everyone.
Hiring and firing.
I dont understand some of the actions or non actions but let’s give 90 days before freaking.
I don’t like how this sounds. But frankly I don’t have an informed opinion on this person for this position but I definitely don’t want a “Brotherhood stooge.” Will monitor....
this sounds Terrible (such a person belongs in Guantanamo, not in our government)
Does DJTrump know about this ?????? I can’t believe he would allow another Moslemstooge in our govt, there are already thousands of these seditious agents, moles,spies, and sabouteurs in our security, StateDept, defense, and inteligence agencies..........thanks in major part to the IslamoNazi Infiltrator in Chief over his entire 8 years....................... DJT promised he is going to DRAIN THE SWAMP !!!!!
White House blocks Mattis from appointing Obamas ambassador to Egypt as Defense deputy
