What a surprise. It's working out just like Hussein wanted all along.

“...despite the likelihood that the electoral timetable favors the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist movements.”

That was a journalist typo. It was suppose to say “...because of the likelihood....”

This is unbelievable that a Muslim would be elected in a Muslim country. Imagine in England a Christian would be elected or in Israel, a Jew. You want elections, you get elections. Majority wins.

Obama meant “especially” if it favors Islamist parties

Obama is enabling “The Muslim Brotherhood”. Looks like they’ll be in charge.

WE should be worried.

Yeah that worked out so well for Palestine. Now a recognised terrorist group rules the streets and the blood runs freely.

Or is that the plan Barry Hussain Obama?

I really doubt that Egypt’s military is STUPID ENOUGH to listen to President Obama. They will do what’s necessary.

You want to stop the vote just because you don’t like how it might turn out? Not every democracy is going to love the US. It’s a fact of the world. The people there make their own decisions about whom they want in power. You wouldn’t have wanted the US military to take over the country and cancel Election Day to stop Obama from being president, would you? I mean... as much as we all detest him, I’d rather elect a bad leader than have a military dictatorship deciding everything. That never goes well.
Let the vote go through, let the chips fall where they may. We have no idea what’s going to happen. But the fact that the new government might not be friendly toward us isn’t going to be, and shouldn’t be, a factor. Freedom is messy. Isn’t that what we tell liberals?

“You want to stop the vote just because you don’t like how it might turn out?”

You’re damn right. I’d rather have countries friendly to the US than more Iran-type nightmares.

“Not every democracy is going to love the US. It’s a fact of the world.”

Agree.

“The people there make their own decisions about whom they want in power.”

Sorry, but I like the idea of us having some say also.

“You wouldn’t have wanted the US military to take over the country and cancel Election Day to stop Obama from being president, would you?”

Considering our debt level and the future of this country...no comment.

“I mean... as much as we all detest him, I’d rather elect a bad leader than have a military dictatorship deciding everything. That never goes well.”

It went great for Chile, and prevented them from becoming a Marxist state. A true US success story and more freedom there than could have ever been dreamed of, had their “people’s revolution” played out.

“Let the vote go through, let the chips fall where they may. We have no idea what’s going to happen. But the fact that the new government might not be friendly toward us isn’t going to be, and shouldn’t be, a factor. Freedom is messy. Isn’t that what we tell liberals?”

I prefer having friendly countries around the world. If we go isolationist, others (like China now) fill in the vacuum and we become Third World as they control our access to resources. You may be fine with that, but not me.
