Then what was the point?
What an idiot.
Invite the vipers into bed with you. What could go wrong? Obama is probably in the shadows.
Everybody in Egypt realizes that their economy is tied to the ancient Egyptian artifacts and buildings. Morsi put governors and ministers in charge of sensitive areas. Those men had spoken publically about the need to destroy all of the pre-Islamic antiquities. This was probably a huge boost to the recent coup as destroying these buildings would be economic suicide. So, as long as they make them Postmaster General and Surgeon General, there’s no problem. But they can’t put them where they would do harm. (But, then, I’m not an Egyptian politician and politicians tend to see a different reality from the rest of us.)
Obambi probably threatened to cut off funding if the islamists were excluded:
‘Obama Call for Muslim Brotherhood Role’ in Egypt
Don’t do it.
Mansour and el Beblawi are already on the Brotherhood’s top ten list. This coup was a huge mistake. The huge demonstrations had already checked Mursi and his program. The Generals feared that they would be purged as their counterparts in Turkey were purged by the Islamists. Maybe so but they have made a martyr of Mursi and gave those jolly fellows in the Brotherhood the mantle of righteous indignation. Egypt will become unstable due to civil disruptions, violence and terrorism. It is already destitute and will become poorer. What’s more since the United States is the paymaster of the Egyptian army, Americans will be blamed for whatever happens there. Time to really respect George Washington, take his advice, and not get entangled in the internal affairs of foreign countries
Cue Pete Townshend...
I hope this is an example of keeping your friends close, and your enemies closer, but I doubt it.......
Most truly dangerous Muslim Brotherhood harliners have already been detained and arrested.
I bet any remaining who end up getting appointed will have already been vetted and had it made it clear to them that they are going to be under a microscope with a 105mm rifled tank barrel on the other end.
In addition, they will be put where they can do the least harm...like Minister of Sand Dollar Collections on the Mediterannean Coast.
More than the camels nose is into the tent
It has tasted your wine , and seen your women ..
Right now ,..Egypt is a ‘time bomb’, just waiting to go off !!
Why bother with a coup then? Unless they get jobs like “Minister of Gardening” or “Chief Deputy of Waste Removal”, what was the point?
Obama threatening to cut off funds? hmmmm?
Yeah, past experience indicates that will work.
Sheesh, can you get any more stupid? Oh wait, we have Obambi.
What’s the over\under for the date of full scale civil war?
unbelievable....
I think it’s about time for an all out world war against radical islam.
I think we would have more allies in this fight than we realize...
Enough is enough....and that also means getting them ALL out of our country and off welfare as well.
It could be a joint operation where as we also remove all of our Mexican guests and their anchor babies as well. we’ll deal with the leftists later.
Sorry to offend...
