Sen. McCain: We Shouldn’t Dictate What Role The ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ Takes In Egypt
Mediaite ^ | 2/14/11 | Matt Schneider

Posted on 02/14/2011 9:21:24 AM PST by Nachum

Republican Senator John McCain appeared on Face the Nation this morning and was happy with the news from Egypt so far, but stressed the importance of there being free and fair elections in the country. Most interestingly though, he did not take a tough stand against inclusion of the Muslim Brotherhood in that process, departing from the view of some his Republican colleagues. McCain elaborated: “We have reasons to be concerned about the Muslim Brotherhood, but at the same time for us to dictate what the role they should play in a way may be harmful to us

Can this guy possibly get any stupider.

First he goes to the White House to give Obama a hug and back him to the hilt on his handling of the Egyptian crisis.

Next he comes out publicly and says that Obama is entirely right to demand the President of Egypt’s resignation.

Now that they’ve royally messed up Egypt and the entire Arab world (and secretly worked for this outcome for the past two or three years), McCain says, “Hands off.”

We’ve thrown out our ally, destabilized the entire Muslim world, betrayed even our good pal the Saudi King, and now we say, “Let the bad guys win! It’s not our job to stop them.”

What an incredible doofus.

Hey, maybe the muslim brotherhood will make smaller prison cells than McLame was in when he was prisoner in commie land.

What the hell’s the matter with this guy? These people want to cut off our heads and shoot women in the back of theirs. I just don’t understand how he can turn his back on the entire Egyptian population. Thank God this RINO lost! But he shouldn’t be encouraging this lame, Kenyan-born illegal alien.

He’s just trying to ingratitate himself to Obummer’s position so he can get invited back to The White House.

I might agree that it’s not our business to dictate to other countries, if Obama and McCain hadn’t both been busy demanding Mubarak’s resignation. And if Obama hadn’t been busy stirring up trouble ever since he was elected. He has focused on Egypt, he has basically done Communist community organizing leading up to this revolt.

Now can these jerks pretend that it’s up to Egypt to settle its own affairs.

You can bet that if the Generals rig the elections to put a new Mubarak in place, McCain and Obama will be yelping all over the place that Egypt MUST HOLD FREE ELECTIONS! And Obama will be doing that because he supports the Muslim Brotherhood, the destruction of Israel, and a new Caliphate.

That is not minding your own business. That is working for our worst enemies. And McCain as usual is helping out.

Dictate? McCain is just creating a phony strawman. We can't dictate anything, but we should make our objections to the MB strongly, in private, to the military junta and tie it to our aid package.

It seems the only way for Mubarak to have stayed in power was to go all Tiananmen Square on the protesters a$$e$. Would we really support the crushing of the protestors in complete opposition to the way we thought about Tiananmen? Was there really anything McCain or Obama or anyone else could have done?

I’m not seeing it.

mccain should have said, “While the people of Egypt should be free to develop whatever form government that they wish to create... if the muslim brotherhood has any part of it, we will cut off the 68 billion dollars of US tax money gifted to them each and every year... we will cut off all Military aid”... but Ohhhhhhhh Nooooooooo... mccain is right... we should just stfu and keep paying our sworn enemies... which has worked so well in turkey and pakistan.
