The radical Muslim Brotherhood announced moments ago that they will support Mohamed ElBaradei to negotiate with the government.
Egyptian opposition forces have agreed to support opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei to negotiate with the government, a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood said on Sunday.
“Political groups support ElBaradei to negotiate with the regime,” Essam el-Eryan told Al Jazeera television.
Al Arabiya television carried the same report on screen but did not attribute it directly to Eryan.
ElBaradei, the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, came back to Egypt on Thursday night, just in time for the “Day of Anger” protests which have left President Hosni Mubarak clinging to power with the army in the streets.

El-Baradei has a long history with the Muslim Brotherhood. The Daily Beast reported:
Egypt’s new opposition leader, former International Atomic Energy Agency head Mohamed ElBaradei, has formed a loose alliance with the Brotherhood because he knows it is the only opposition group that can mobilize masses of Egyptians, especially the poor. He says he can work with it to change Egypt. Many scholars of political Islam also judge the Brotherhood is the most reasonable face of Islamic politics in the Arab world today. Skeptics fear ElBaradei will be swept along by more radical forces.
More… El-Baradei says in CNN interview Mubarak must leave “today” to make way for unity government. (Twitter)
Same here...for some reason, I just always assumed El-Baradei was a front man for them anyways.
He didn’t TELL ~ that does not mean he does not know.
i bet this guy is a bum.....JOHN BOLTIN tried to get him sacked and Powell’s aid backed him.....the us and the brits tried to oust him when he replaced BLIXX at the Atomic Energy commission for the UN....PLUS CHINA AND RUSSIA BACKED HIM.....SO THERE’S SOMETHING UP THERE...
Third and final term as director general The United States initially voiced opposition to his election to a third four-year term in 2005.[13] In a May 2005 interview with the staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Lawrence Wilkerson, the chief of staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, charged former Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security John Bolton with an underhanded campaign to unseat ElBaradei.[14] “Mr. Bolton overstepped his bounds in his moves and gyrations to try to keep [ElBaradei] from being reappointed as [IAEA] head,” Wilkerson said. The Washington Post reported in December 2004 that the Bush administration had intercepted dozens of ElBaradei’s phone calls with Iranian diplomats and was scrutinizing them for evidence they could use to force him out.[14] IAEA spokesman Mark Gwozdecky said the agency worked on “the assumption that one or more entities may be listening to our conversations”. “It’s not how we would prefer to work, but it is the reality. At the end of the day, we have nothing to hide,” he said. Iran responded to the Washington Post reports by accusing the United States of violating international law in intercepting the communications.[15]
The United States was the only country to oppose ElBaradei’s reappointment and eventually failed to win enough support from other countries to oust ElBaradei. On 9 June 2005, after a meeting between US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and ElBaradei, the United States dropped its objections. Among countries that supported Elbaradei were China, Russia, Germany and France. China praised his leadership and objectivity.[13] and supported him for doing “substantial fruitful work, which has maintained the agency’s role and credit in international non-proliferation and promoted the development of peaceful use of nuclear energy. His work has been universally recognized in the international community. China appreciates Mr. El Baradei’s work and supports his reelection as the agency’s director-general.”[16] France, Germany, and some developing countries, have made clear their support for ElBaradei as well.[14] Russia issued a strong statement in favor of re-electing him as soon as possible.
I’ll bet anything that Macmood Dinnerjacket told the MBH to back Elbaradei.
Then there's the US fleet offshore with plenty of bombs ~ and on and on and on.
We are not waiting for an Islamobomb ~ we are just waiting for MORE bombs with ever crazier guys in charge of them.
There'll be a really wild weekend in that region sometime and after wards we'll go in and decontaminate the well-heads and start pumping.
We be pumpin'
“Anyway he still gives this sense of “respectability” that the LSM laps up.”
They did the same thing in 1979 when Carter handed Iran over to the Mullahs. We know how that ended.
“Muslim Brotherhood Announces They Will Support El-Baradei”
Just by coincidence, so do Obama and Clinton.
“THIS IS A PLANNED MUSLIM TAKEOVER OF EGYPT AND OBAMA IS SUPPORTING IT”
—ElBaradei even quotes Obama, and said the chaos is a “Yes We Can” moment for Arabs:
“...After three terms as the IAEA’s director general, ElBaradei stepped down at the end of 2009. He was hoping to settle into a quiet retirement, but his return to Egypt during the week’s unrest suggests that he is not content to sit and watch from the sidelines.
He said the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia that saw the expulsion of long-term President Zine al-Abedine Ben Ali in mid-January had spurred action in Egypt.
“It sent a message everywhere to the Arab world that, to quote Barack Obama, ‘Yes, we can,’ you know, that it is doable.”
http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/01/27/egypt.elbaradei.protests/
Things just took a turn for the worse.
If we find Obama had anything to do with this there will be a reckoning.
ElBaradei. Isn’t he the U.N. guy that couldn’t find any nuclear materials in Iran?
Did the organizers of the Egypt protests learn from Obama allies Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn and Code Pink when they were in Cairo a year ago this month stirring up trouble over Hamas-aid?
This report at Big Government details the efforts by the former Weather Underground terrorists, Obama funder Jodie Evans and Western leftists to undermine the Mubarak government.
At the same time, Code Pink was publicly allying with the Muslim Brotherhood. Code Pink ran banner ads on the Muslim Brotherhood's official English website encouraging jihadis to "join us in cleansing our country."
Watch the stock market carefully tomorrow.
Thanks DJ MacWoW.
And then there’s that Telegraph article that Drudge highlighted to go along with this...
Yup. Bammy, or whoever controls him, has their fingers in this pie up to their elbows.
If they are smart the Brotherhood will prop him long enough to get the regime change, suck up multiple billions in western aid “for reconstruction” using him as the front man for the regime, and then chop off his head after they have cashed the checks.
No need to rush.
I had forgotten about this:
“Code Pink is a regular visitor to the White House. Obama Funder ‘Jodie Evans’ In White House Visitor Log days after Code Pink Hamas Trip
When I was researching Obama’s FEC documents, I discovered that Evans was a bundler. The name of Obama funder and terrorist sympathizer Jodie Evans turns up twice in recently released White House visitor logs.”
He still won’t tell. He’ll import them.
I have three immediate thoughts....

I didn’t forget. Code Pink works for Obama. They both hate America. But he’ll dump them when their usefulness is over. They are a classic definition of “useful idiots”.
Yep..it’s going to be a rollar coaster...expect the feds to do something stupid and Soros to profit big time on oil hedges,etc. This thing is a set up for the commies,Islamists and ruling class elite. As usual..the American taxpayer will get screwed.
