It’s a great story. Hope the Sun isn’t getting punked.

That Chicago Way stuff doesn’t play outside the sandbox in the real world.

Well, he’s got 3.5 more years to slice and dice.

The next shoe to drop is our carriers. I suspect he’s going to try to eliminate some battle groups.


Hagel has already mentioned eliminating three carrier battle groups.

We’re going to see some SHTF before Nov., 2016.

We have no alliance with Egypt. We have little in common with then. Oh except both countries have muslim leaders.

Well at least the GOP-e gang leader, lord McCain and his pet Lindsey still have the US Senate to flex their muscles.

I hope you're right but given the head-up-ass posture of the American public and media, I doubt it. We'll accept defeat brainlessly.

July 30 - Obama asks Republican Senators McCain, Graham to visit Egypt

It's Obama, McCain, Graham who made 'huge mistake' in Egypt

With their current stance on Egypt, President Obama, Sens. John McCain and Lindsay Graham are risking one of America’s most crucial alliances

… On their current trip to Cairo,Senators John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.),two of President Barack Obama’s most persistent critics on everything in foreign policy from Syria to Benghazi,have found common cause with him at last.

All three fear that the anti-American (and generally anti-human) Muslim Brotherhood (MB),whom they mistakenly see as “moderate,” will disappear from the halls of power in Egypt,our most important Arab ally.

They also evidently worry that the MB’s leading figures,such as now-deposed (and arrested) President Mohamed Morsi—who had awarded himself powers greater than any previous ruler in Egypt’s history—will not be free to plot a return to power in an ancient nation that he had nearly destroyed in only one year.

If Hagel tries that, he should be take out back and shot.

I’m not advocating anything, and I do not plan on doing anything myself, but this is very very very wrong.

This makes it undeniable. Obama is actively trying to facilitate the Muslim brotherhoods take over of Egypt and probably all of the middle east.

McCain and Graham are working with him and have been on a range of issues.

China and Russia also seem to be working on aiding the terrorists.

By the way McCain and Linda Graham ARE liars, and traitors to their party America too.

Youseff Ibrahim has a LinkdIn bio that shows him as a NY Sun columnist, with decades at the NYT. THE Iranians picked HIM up, not vice versa. He is an Egyptian with a Jesuit education.

I’ve come to that conclusion.

I spoke with a man not long ago and he said he will not risk himself or his family for the likes of those who voted for Obama.

It is time to hunker down into survival mode and get closer to God. Get as close to as many like minded people as possible.

It continues...nobama is such a great mastermind and glorious leader. With mclame & graham helping him, what could possibly go wrong? Remember, comrades, everything nobama does is intentional...everything.

We are turning the whole mid east into an unaccountable Taleban land.

Dirty mccain, traitor and obama’s machine will “out” him. And of course, they’ll also “out” Graham but for a different type of “outing”. obama says “frog” and they jump.
