Obama White House rejects 'false claims' of Egypt interference
The Guardian ^ | July 6, 2013 | Matt Williams

Posted on 07/06/2013 3:06:48 PM PDT by maggief

The White House has rejected "false claims" that it is working with specific parties in Egypt to "dictate" how the country should proceed following this week's military coup.

Breaking its recent silence over events in Cairo, the Obama administration released a statement reiterating that the US was "not aligned with, and does not support, any particular Egyptian political party or group".

The statement came as Egypt appeared to prepare to swear in Mohamed ELBaradei, the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, as an interim prime minister. The Nobel peace laureate had been tipped for the post following the forced removal of Mohamed Morsi.

Morsi Spurned Deals, Seeing Military as Tamed

EXCERPTS

The foreign minister said he was acting as an emissary of Washington, the advisers said, and he asked if Mr. Morsi would accept the appointment of a new prime minister and cabinet, one that would take over all legislative powers and replace his chosen provincial governors.

(snip)

His top foreign policy adviser, Essam el-Haddad, then left the room to call the United States ambassador, Anne W. Patterson, to say that Mr. Morsi refused. When he returned, he said he had spoken to Susan E. Rice, the national security adviser, and that the military takeover was about to begin, senior aides said.

“Mother just told us that we will stop playing in one hour,” an aide texted an associate, playing on a sarcastic Egyptian expression for the country’s Western patron, “Mother America.”

(snip)

Mr. Morsi’s advisers had meetings with Ms. Patterson and her deputy as well as a phone call with Ms. Rice, the national security adviser. Mr. Morsi’s advisers argued that ousting the president would be “a long term disaster” for Egypt and the Arab world because people would “lose faith in democracy.” They said it would set off an explosion in the streets that they could not control.

And they argued that the United States was implicated: “Nobody who knows Egypt is going to believe a coup could go forward without a green light from the Americans.”

A MB takeover and Islamification of Egypt is a democratic event, but a correction to that course by the military that allowed the election is a coup? I think not. The first one was a coup, removing the MB is a patriotic act.

Is this a flat denial? As we have learned, a ‘flat denial’ from the White Hut actually means: ‘Yeah yer right. So what?’.

Obama backing ElBaradei?

Beirut — According to well-connected Washington sources, including a Congressional staffer whose job description includes following political events in Egypt, once it became evident that Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi might well be ousted by Egypt’s Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), it did not take Mohamed Mustafa ElBaradei, the Sharia legal scholar, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, and for 12 years (1997-2009) the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) very long to contact the Washington, DC law firm of Patton Boggs. That was this past Tuesday.

Yeah, but since the Obama "White House" is a proven liar, these claims are worthless.

They can claim that they are the most ethical, transparent, bunch of unicorn riding good guys all they want. Their actions and words have shown them to be invertible scheming liars and cowards who will run away from the truth like a vampire fleeing sunshine. Actions have consequences.

So this pinhead administration wouldn't have any problem with Mubarak taking back over, right? Wishful thinking on my part, he was probably disemboweled hours after being whisked away.

Right. The U.S. does not, but King Zero is doing all he can behind the scenes to support his friends in the MB.

When did “the White House” get any credibility? Right now, most Americans see “the White House” as the biggest bunch of liars to ever come down the pike.

Elbaredai is the guy Obama wanted in the first place. Former international crisis group board member who sat with guys like George Soros, Javier Solana, Sandy Berger, Thomas Pickering and many more.

He’s a globalist “moderate” muslim to paint a happy face on the caliphate.

The IRS. NSA. TSA. Dept. of Homeland Security. EPA. Attorney General’s office. WH press secretary. ICE. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. FBI. ATF. Education. State. Energy.
We could do this all night with Obama’s alphabet agency minions.
The truth isn’t in them. He’s corrupted everything he’s touched.
