They are against it more than we are. ISIS is basically the same thing as the Muslim Brotherhood, which they overthrew in the biggest mass protests of any country anywhere. Egypt is most concerned right now about its western border and Libya, where ISIS like groups are taking over the failed state of Libya. They will invade if that happens.

Funny how we and Egypt are on parallel paths.... they elect the MB, we elect the MB. They overthrow the MB... they are a bit ahead of us.

speaking of the shadow president-ette, I can’t figure out why she let her boy use his military in Iraq.

Did Egypt get permission from Valerie Jarrett to make this change?

Thanks Borges. The fall of the muzzie bro’hood was brought to you by the Egyptian majority, the Egyptian army, and the cash of Saudi Arabia.

Will U.S. history records have a chapter heading for U.S. imposter in chief Barack Obama’s installation of the Muslim Brotherhood into Egypt and the Egyptian people’s correcting the outrage? Will history books make sure the record shows that former First Lady Hillary Clinton and Secretary of State under Obama had a Muslim Brotherhood open operative as her most trusted factotum and advisor? It’ll depend on who writes the next history books.
