US Ambassador to Egypt Vows to Apply Pressure to Support Muslim Brotherhood
Freedom Outpost ^ | July 6, 2013 | Dean Garrison

There are always two stories in America. There is the one that comes from Obama’s mouth and then there is the truth. The truth of the matter is that this administration was “all in” on a Muslim Brotherhood controlled Egypt. You can’t trust a word they say now that Morsi has been overthrown. Although I have little doubt that Obama would gladly throw Morsi, or anyone else, under the bus for his own benefit, we should not be so sure that this administration is done with The Muslim Brotherhood. There are reports coming from a very respected journalist in the Arab world that Anne Patterson is turning up the heat and vowing to apply pressure:

Evidence that the Obama administration is unhappy with the Egyptian people’s liberation from Muslim Brotherhood rule continues to emerge. As reported today by Youm 7, according to Muhammad Heikal — “the Arab world’s most respected political commentator” and for some 50 years a political insider — soon after the overthrow of Morsi, U.S. ambassador Anne Patterson assured Hisham Qandil, who hours ago was Egypt’s Prime Minister, that “there are many forms of pressure, and America holds the keys to the Gulf.”

Such blatantly pro-Muslim Brotherhood assurances by Patterson are consistent with many of her other actions in Egypt, which have led most Egyptians, including politicians and activists, to refer to her as a Brotherhood stooge. Among other things, in the days leading to June 30, she called on Egyptians not to protest — including by meeting with the Coptic Pope and asking him to urge the nation’s Christian minority not to oppose the Brotherhood, even though Christians have naturally been the most to suffer under Morsi, especially in the context of “blasphemy” accusations.

Thus, and once again, the Obama administration makes indubitably clear that its primary interest in Egypt is to see the Muslim Brotherhood stay in power, the Egyptian people’s will — the will of tens of millions of secularists, liberals, moderates, and Christians — be damned.

News from the Arab world last week was that Anne Patterson was accused of being part of a Muslim Brotherhood “sleeper cell.” Regardless of the veracity of that accusation, which was made by a former member of Egyptian Parliament, we have to realize how much effort this administration had put into supporting Morsi and the brotherhood.

So what do you think? Are we done? Or is this administration just putting its money on a new horse from the same stable?

That is the fear of many. If you see Obama start to strongly support a new leader in Egypt you might be looking at another potential terror-loving-tyrant. Let’s not forget that there is strong evidence that Morsi is responsible for Benghazi and Obama was his accomplice.

It’s a very convenient time for Morsi to go I would think. The evidence was starting to mount and now he is gone.

Egypt is not our ally. Morsi was Obama’s ally but he was not America’s ally. The people of Egypt generally hate us and so do their political leaders. It’s great that we had the chance to send jets, tanks and 1.5 billion dollars into this mess. I would have hated to think that the chaos was not properly armed.

Because no one else in the running is quite terroristic enough to earn obama’s support.

I wish I was kidding. *sigh*

The fact is we have a twice unconstitutionally elected ADMITTED foreign born Islamic communist as POTUS. Anyone who denies that does not know the facts. And he GETS AWAY with it because the Republican party is now the RINO party. It is the Democrat party part deux only worse because at least the original Democrat party gets things done. The RINO party on the other hand crawls into a fetal position and constantly brown noses the Democrat party.”Yes sir! Yes sir! Whatever you say sir!”

This is an administration whose whole sole purpose is to further the agenda of radical Islam. He made that QUITE clear on the very first day he unconstitutionally took office in January 20th of 2009.

The VERY FIRST thing he did when he first punched that clock on Jan. 20th was to close down Gitmo! Above EVERYTHING else THAT was his #1 priority! Assisting terrorists!

And guess what? That is ALL he has been doing ever since! Weakening the USA while strengthening the radical Muzzies.

Every day brings fresh evidence that Hussein and his minions are hell bent on treason.

“Attempt to close down Gitmo” I meant. He failed when he realized the logistics. Also don’t forget his almost fanatical attempts to get 911 architect Khalid Sheik Mohammed tried as a US citizen with full constitutional rights. Why? SO he has a better chance at freedom! That is WHY nothing has happened yet with that character. The regime will not act until the terrorist has the best chance at freedom.

Barry sure is working hard to get the world ticked off at America. WE’RE the ones who are going to have to deal with this mess when he’s cooling his heals and toking on a joint on some beach in Hawaii.

This dipshit is going balls out to screw the USA over big time. We’ll all be lucky to survive this regime.

The State Run Media is doing all they can to shield the low information voter from understanding that 0bama funded and armed the man whom the Egyptian military just canned.

Anne Patterson served as Ambassador to “Pohkistohn” from 2007 to 2010 so she knows all about muslims - she was there the whole time Bin Laden was there, too. She probably knew all about it and sat on the info for “diplomatic” reasons!

“The people of Egypt generally hate us and so do their political leaders.”

I would say this statement is false. The Egyptians I know, Muslim and Christian, like the American people. The people of other country want the U.S. government to stop meddling in their internal affairs. For the most part, I agree.

Most of the Egyptian people are living in the 21st century and oppose the Muslim Brotherhood (who targets the poor and stupid, just like the Democrats). Egypt is showing true patriotism by dumping those terrorists who have repeatedly sanctioned deadly attacks against anyone (especially Coptic Christians) that oppose them.

While Obama supporters poo-poo allegations that he is a 'closet Muslim' (just as they disparage anyone who alleges that he was not born in the U.S.A.) Obama's actions in the middle east, specifically Egypt, make it hard to imagine what else would drive his 'foreign policy' when it comes to coddling and supporting Muslim Brotherhood dictator-wannabes such as Morsi.

The current U.S. Ambassador, Anne Patterson, is an embarrassment. Her none-too-subtle advocacy for the Muslim Brotherhood should make her eligible for removal from her post but of course, that won't happen because she is clearly doing Obama's bidding. If America survives the Obama administration, which is questionable, it will take years to undo the damage this fraud of a president has wrought.

Satan is very unhappy that Obummer was not able to keep his Allah (aka Satan) worshiping Muslim minions in power. Satan has vowed to strip him of his power if he does not reinstall his favored people who are necessary for the Anti-Christ to emerge and take center stage.

Because supporting the will of the people, whether in America or Egypt is contrary to emperor oslama’s plan for world domination by the satanists.

If King Obama supported the Muslim Brotherhood, then King Obama supports terrorists.

I’ve just been told by a very reliable source that the Egyptians just captured Ayman Al-Zawahri!

You’re right; I’m sure they have quite a bit more in common with the MB too.

Gulf. Did she mean Golf ? What Gulf would she be referring to ?

The Gulf of Suez ?
The Persian Gulf ?
The Gulf of Aqaba ?
The Gulf of Oman ?
The Gulf of Aden ?

We should all be so lucky. I pray with the utmost fervor that he ends up like you say. Let the SOB revel uproariously in his post-presidential existence on the beach or wherever his dark, sinister heart desires. I won’t put anything past this guy. He has shown there’s nothing too immoral, too reprehensible he won’t do. Let that day come and I along with the rest of America will take a well-deserved sigh of utter relief.
