Two Republican senators said Tuesday that they´ve personally urged the Egyptian government to release Muslim Brotherhood prisoners, after hosting meetings with top officials in Cairo as part of an Obama administration-sanctioned visit. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who is in Cairo along with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-.S.C., made clear that the two U.S. lawmakers are representing the views of Congress and "do not speak for the White House." Still, they are among the most prominent U.S. representatives in the country this week, as a wave of international mediators tries to nudge the country´s military-backed government to resolve the standoff

Is there another way to kiss Obama’s butt that is more obvious than this? I don’t think so!

[veracious]

Anything than McSane says to do: go the opposite way, as quickly as possible!

McSane, isn’t.

Urging the Egyptians to release MB rabble rousers is almost as bad as domestically urging the release of communists, leftists, anarchists, and progressives and other statist miscreants from American jails.

[Veto!]

You don’t understand sarcasm?

[OneWingedShark]

US Congressmen going to Egypt to beg for releasing Islamist prisoners?
I see I'm back in Bizarro-world.

[Olog-hai]

I was being a tad sarcastic too.

[ZULU]

John McCain again with his fruticake understudy - two totally insane wackjobs. They make some Democrats look sane.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who is in Cairo along with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-.S.C., made clear that the two U.S. lawmakers are representing the views of Congress and "do not speak for the White House."

Are not Frick and Frack in Egypt at the President's express request?

And while this might be the view of the Senate, it is most assuredly not the view of the Republican caucus or the House.

Which is to say that the senile old fart is caught in yet another lie.

McCain was in Bengazi too. He has been compromised, and will work for the democrats until he retires.

Truthfully, the best bet for Egyptian stability is to round up every known MB member and quietly exterminate them. This means “disappear” them as well, so that no trace is left behind.

This is pretty much what Mexico did with radicals and communist agitators during the Olympics of ‘68. It finally came to light in 2001, 33 years later, by which time a few apologies and some changes to the law, basically to “don’t do that again”, was enough.

(slightly changed from The Mikado)

As some day may happen
That some victims must be found
I’ve got a little list
I’ve got a little list
Of societies’ offenders
Who might well be underground
And never would be missed
They never would be missed.

The world has flipped or I stepped into a Twilight Zone episode. Actually, I have been suspecting that since 2007, but it just keeps getting worse and worse.

[Veto!]

cackle cackle. Well ok then.

[GoldenPup]

McCain, Graham urge Egyptian government to release Islamist prisoners...

Any chance we can get the Egyptian government to keep these two aging assholes? It would sure make a lot of real Americans very happy.

[leapfrog0202]

They’re the white man’s Barack and Reggie.

Gosh, Israel is going to release terrorists, if they haven't already.  Graham and McStain are advocating Egypt do it.  All that remains is for us to do it.

We are that close to lasting peace folks.  Amazing..., we're almost there.  At long last...  /s
