Washington believes that Egypt’s latest crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood is a bit too much but won’t take action against the interim government in Cairo, a United States official said Thursday.

The official, who was quoted by the Reuters news agency, said the administration believed the Egyptian government was going “way too far” in its current crackdown on the Brotherhood and its supporters. …

“too far” with stamping out radical Islam which is like a cancer to their government and ours? No. I just think they understand their enemy and their objectives much more clearly.

Prince Charles recently joined a long line of world leaders who have come to the defense of Christians under attack by the blood- thirsty Muslim Brotherhood.

Chief among world leaders is Egyptian General Abdel al-Sisi---who drove the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics----and has vowed to rebuild the 63 churches torched by Muslims. Al-Sisi is revered by workaday Egyptians who consider the M/B to be terrorists.

As the post-Morsi crisis unfolded, Gen al-Sisi was joined in his effort by China and Russia (Putin is a committed Christian) in decrying The Muslim Brotherhood's attack on Egyptian Christian's churches, homes and businesses.

Moreover, last summer, the Saudis, the Kuwaitis, and the UA Emirates deposited over $12 billion in Egyptian government accounts as a down payment.....w/ more $$aid to come to support Gen al-Sisi's anti-Muslim Brotherhood effort.

Alas, one personage is notably absent from this effort---that would be US President Obama. He vengefully exerted financial pressure by “cutting” US military aid to Egypt... but it's NOT working.

China, Russia and the Arabs stood foursquare by Egypt and in the process smacked down Qatar, the Turkish M corrupt Erdogan....AND, most of all, the Islamofascist Obama administration.

I don’t think they’re stamping out radical Islam; after all, their new constitution is Islamic, and they’ve said nothing yet about the Salafis. They’re getting rid of their rivals, though.

Obama, The Muslim Brotherhood is not a terrorist organization and Iran is not a nuclear threat.

The average American knows none of this......has no clue what is happening to one religion, at the hands of another with the full support of President Obama.

Sad.

If Barack had a pair, he doesn’t, he would do something about what he thinks is the Egyptian government going “way too far”.

REFERENCE At the Hay Literary festival in Wales, author and PBS historian, Niall Ferguson, spent much of his time dissing Obama's "smart power" speech delivered in Cairo in 2009......describing it as "touchy feely nonsense"...

Ferguson has sent out warnings about Obama's failure to come to terms with what Ferguson sees as the potential rise of the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt and the possible "restoration of the caliphate and the strict application of Sharia"........themes at the heart of this new book "Civilization: The West and the Rest"...............

Ferguson's standpoint is that Western dominance has been a progressive civilizing force.....his new book reinforces these arguments postulating that there were six killer "apps" which propelled the West to a position of predominance.

These were competition, science, property, modern science, consumption and work ethic, each with a dedicated chapter in the book.

Ferguson contrasts how China was the world's most advanced civilization in the 15th century but stagnated and was overtaken by Dutch mercantilism and the rise of capitalism employing the six "skills".

In his books, and on his compelling PBS series "Civilization," Ferguson lists "morality" as a strategic strength of Western Civilization. He points out the successful Chinese business city Wenzou also has 1,400 churches.

=========================================

WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH HILLARY? There is a move afoot to return Muslim Brother Morsi to power---- and Hillary is running scared. BUT Morsi is an also-ran.

Egyptians are going to elect Egyptian Gen Abdel al-Sisi. Egyptians consider the M/B to be terrorists --- and they revere Gen al Sisi who drove the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics.

====================================================

LET'S STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE In 2009, Obama made a "Smart Power" suck-up speech in Cairo----"apologizing" for America's historical role in the Middle East. By snubbing Mubarak, Obama set the stage for the Egyptian president's overthrow by the Islamic mob.

When the worst-case scenario happened, when Obama's personal choice---Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Morsi, was elected president----Obama sap-happily sent his secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, to Cairo to personally kiss-up to Morsi....perhaps at that time hatching their plans to destroy Westen civiliation in compliance w/ Muslim dictates.

Obama's treacherous ill-advised component of US foreign policy----sucking up to the very people who want to kill us and destroy our churches. He portrayed teeming Muslim majorities there as "victims of Western colonialism and Cold War policies," stupidly promoting American-style democracy for these conflicting cultures w/ thousands of years of religious and territorial factionalism.

OBOBO'S SUCKUP "The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of coexistence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars," Obama said in the June 2009 speech in Cairo. "More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies, without regard to their own aspirations."

==================================================

Fast forward to 2013: the savage Muslim Brotherhood torched some 63 Egyptian churches and many Christian businesses. Obama ignored the bloodbath and spent the crisis dining out, golfing, power-partying, and vacationing in exclusive Martha’s Vineyard on the taxpayers' dime.

Braindead Boobamba advisor, Susan Rice stupidly advised Boobamba to phone Gen al-Sisi from MV. But al Sisi refused to take the call knowing Boobamba planned to order the general to call off his beating back the Muslim Brotherhood .

OBAMA: "First, let's make sure the cameras capture this staged
photo-op to pump your resume. Now what should I tell the American
people about Egypt, Susan?"

RICE: "After saying 'the Taliban is on the run and Osama Bin Laden
is dead'.... tell 'em Gen al-Sissi is a big sissy for not taking your phone call."

OBAMA HILLARY LOVE FEST ON 60 MINUTES---Obobo had
just hustled Hillary onto 60 Minutes to gaze in adoration, after her arrogant
dismissal of the Benghazi massacre before Congress.

======================================================

MILITARY.COM reported that US Pentagon officials declined to give specifics on conversations between DOD's Chuck Hagel and Egyptian Gen al-Sisi....WRT the post-Morsi Egyptian crisis.

Although the officials would not discuss the specifics of the military-to-military talks, the U.S. would need Gen al-Sisi's approval to move through Egyptian air space if Washington decided to send Marines to aid in the evacuation of U.S. personnel.

READY TO ROLL About 550 Marines and their tilt-rotor MV-22 Osprey aircraft are at bases in Spain and Italy on standby if they are needed. A Navy Amphibious Ready Group with 4,000 Marines and sailors aboard, led by the helicopter assault ship Kearsarge, was also in the region following completion of the Eager Lion training exercises in Jordan.

=============================================

AIN'T KARMA A *ITCH, HILLARY?...... the helicopter assault ship Kearsarge, WAS in the region. We were lied to----we were told it was not available to help endangered Americans in Benghazi.

========================================

FIVE SECOND BENGHAZI QUIZ

(Q.) Who holds the key to unlocking the Benghazi secrets Obama and Hillary will not divulge?

(A.) That would be Egyptian Gen Al-Sisi who drove blood-thirsty Muslims out of Egyptian politics and has vowed to rebuild the 63 churches torched by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Right now, sitting in an Egyptian jail is a man al-Sisi arrested for inciting terrorism. That man is Gehad al Hadad....once employed by the tax-exempt Clinton Foundation.

THE CLINTONS IN-HOUSE MUSLIM TERRORIST the Clintons tax-exempt foundation employed a Muslim Brotherhood activist.

Gehad el-Haddad
(The stupid Clintons did not know Gehad was Farsi for "jihad")

Gehad also knows how the Muslim Brotherhood launders money to finance terrorism, using "tax-exempt foundations."

As far as I know, Egypt does not have any limitations on obtaining information from terrorists---like prohibiting waterboarding, etc.

Rest assured---we will know everything---all in good time.

I know it's not nice to hate people, but I am really starting to despise these slime bags in Washington.

Obama is not representative of the citizenry.

Cracking down on Islamic terrorists is never “too far”.
