Fabruary 2011: Pamela Geller, Front Page Magazine Interview: Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood
The Obama administration warned Egypt's military leaders on Monday to speedily hand over power or risk losing billions of dollars in U.S. military and economic aid to the country.
It wasn't enough that Obama invited the Muslim Brotherhood to his submission speech in Cairo in June 2009, despite the fact that the group was banned at that time for obvious reasons: they wanted to install a Sharia government, and the draconian, barbaric code of Sharia in Egypt. It wasn't enough that after he invited the Brotherhood to his speech, he had officials in his administration meeting with this Islamic supremacist group. It wasn't enough that he abandoned the true freedom movement, when the women of Iran and the Persians, Zoroastrians rose up after 30 years of oppressive Sharia rule. He spit on them and left them to die. They met bullets with bare flesh and broken bricks. It was a squandered historical moment - remove the head of the snake of Hezb'allah, Hamas, the shiite fighting American soldiers in Iraq, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the shia agitation in Bahrain. Obama could have saved the free world and gone down in history as one of the magnificent heroes for good. But that is not who he is. He is a tool, a malevolent subversive who managed to seize the most powerful office in the world with the PR expertise of the enemedia.
Obama's war on the good continued.
It wasn't enough that he abandoned our 30-year ally in Egypt, the first Muslim country to make peace with the Jewish people despite the Jew-hatred mandated in the Quran. It wasn't enough that he threw our great friend and ally out with both hands, the most liberal of reformers in the Muslim countries in that region.
On January 25, 2011, the "Freedom Revolution" -- in fact, the Fascist Revolution -- showed its fist. I, along with a few other courageous observers like Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, warned that this was the Muslim Brotherhood and had nothing to do with the freedom being sold like "new diet Coke" by the enemedia. And I suffered the slings and arrows of Islamic apologists who derided me for insisting this was a Brotherhood op and insisted that this had nothing to do with the Muslim Brotherhood. (January 2011: Egypt Going From Bad to Brotherhood) And here we are, eighteen months later, with the Muslim Brotherhood declaring victory in a presidential election, and what does the leader of the Free World do? He threatens to withhold all U.S. aid to anyone who stops the Muslim Brotherhood from taking power. Does he threaten to withhold aid from the Muslims in Gaza who daily talk about their desire to destroy Israel and annihilate the Jews, and who glory in the murders of young families with their children, and lob rockets into civilian areas so that the people there have to live in terror going to work and to school? Of course not -- he increases the aid to the annihilationists who thirst for genocide in their mad Islamic Jew-hatred.
Stand up people. Get up. Stand up for your life.
Flashback January 2011:
Flashback to a Sandmonkey tweet that was retweeted by Mona Eltahawy, another Egyptian protest lover who was subsequently sexually attacked at one of these "freedom" protests. Of course, I disagreed with Sandmonkey and had my public falling out with him over my insistence that the Muslim Brotherhood was very much a major player in the overthrow of Mubarak and whatever freedom Egyptians had enjoyed under his government.
Worried US tells Egypt's military to cede power Associated Press June 18
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration warned Egypt's military leaders on Monday to speedily hand over power or risk losing billions of dollars in U.S. military and economic aid to the country.
As Egypt's Islamist candidate claimed victory in a presidential run-off, Pentagon and State Department officials expressed concern with a last-minute decree by Egypt's ruling military council giving itself sweeping authority to maintain its grip on power and subordinate the nominal head of state. The move followed last week's dissolution of parliament by an Egyptian court.
"This is a critical moment in Egypt, and the world is watching closely," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters. "We are particularly concerned by decisions that appear to prolong the military's hold on power."
Pentagon press secretary George Little said the U.S. was troubled by the timing of the military leaders' announcement, just as polls closed Sunday night for the presidential election. He said the U.S. would urge them "to relinquish power to civilian elected authorities and to respect the universal rights of the Egyptian people and the rule of law."
The military council pledged Monday to hand over power to the new civilian authorities by the end of the month.
But the new military powers and the recent collapse of Egypt's first freely and fairly elected parliament have Washington concerned about the perilous state of Egypt's democratic transition. The Obama administration has sought to safeguard its interests while championing change in Egypt. Sunday's election runoff were the second round of the first presidential elections after three decades of authoritarian rule under Hosni Mubarak, who made Cairo a bulwark of American influence in the Middle East before being pushed from power in February 2011.
Nuland said Egypt's military authorities need to "restore popular and international confidence in the democratic transition process" by ensuring an inclusive constitution-writing process, a democratically elected parliament and a swift handover of power to a civilian government.

Anybody still wondering about Obama’s religious status?
This is all about de-funding those who previously supplied the stability necessary to honor Egypt’s treaty obligations to Israel - the military.
The aid will be repackaged as non-military aid and send directly to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Yet another in an endless stream of reasons why this insipid putz, nobama, needs to go.
However, with a president who has a personal interest promoting extremist Sunni islamic countries, the United States must not make the mistake of building up Egypt to become even more of a military threat to Judeo-Christian based Western nations.
We have no dog in this immoral millennial long genocidal fight between Shia, Allowhite, or Sunni moslems.
After evidence was leaked that credits BHO's White House partnering with the Moslem Brotherhood to overthrow several sovereign Arab governments unwilling to join the phony fundamentalist Sunni 'Arab Spring' movement. It's in our best interests to oppose BHO's dreams of creating the Moslem End Times, Third Caliphate!
This Third Caliphate will make it's move to rule the world. Is it in our interest in making them more stable economically and more dangerous militarily? BHO will take the credit for creating the Third caliphate and someday hope to assume the leadership position. We can't afford BHO as President, we can't tolerate him as a dictator of the Third Caliphate.
The two other branches of our government must act to remove him from power immediately before he can purposely causing WW III.
