Other than Obama, the Muslim Brotherhood has no bigger ally than John McCain. He defends them at every opportunity band makes excuses for their Jew and Christian hatred. He is now supporting more foreign aid to the Muslim Brotherhood Regime in Egypt.

CAIRO — U.S. Sen. John McCain said Wednesday he has expressed strong disapproval to Egypt’s Islamist president about his past comments about Jews. Despite an uproar in Washington over the remarks, he said he and other congressmen will press for more aid to Egypt’s ailing economy.

A congressional delegation led by McCain met with Mohammed Morsi a day after the White House strongly denounced his remarks as “deeply offensive.” Morsi made the comments in a 2010 speech, as a leader in the Muslim Brotherhood before he became president, but they resurfaced recently when aired on an Egyptian TV show.

The delegation clearly sought to move beyond the unexpected diplomatic flap to focus on Egypt’s economy. McCain told reporters the congressional delegation will push for an additional $480 million in budget assistance to Egypt.

All of us are supportive,” he said. “We are working hard to try to see that this money is forthcoming.”

Here are snippets of John McCain’s press conference.

McCain would have been just as bad as Obama on foreign policy. Right now, US troops would be nation building in Syria. McCain is an agent of foreign interests whom he refers to as his “friends”.

Egypt’s president demands the release of the “Blind Sheikh” from the first World Trade Center bombing

The execrable president of Egypt, Mohammad Morsi will be visiting the White House soon (do not expect Obama to give  him “the Netanyahu treatment”) and he has made clear that as we approach the 20th anniversary of the first World Trade Center bombing (Feb. 28), he will demand the release of Sheik  Obmar Abdel Rahman aka “the blind Sheikh”.  I would not be surprised if Obama does so on “humanitarian grounds”.

by Matthew Boyle

The new chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee is urging President Barack Obama to stand strong against new demands from Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Morsi is calling for the release of convicted terrorist Omar Abdul Rahman.

“I urge the Obama administration to stand firm against pleas from Egypt to free Omar Abdel Rahman,” Texas Republican Rep. Michael McCaul, the new chairman of the powerful House committee, said in a Tuesday statement. “Releasing a terrorist who plotted against the United States and has American blood on his hands would be seen as a sign of weakness throughout the Muslim extremist world and will only serve to embolden our enemies who continue to plot against us.”

[……]

Abdul Rahman, better known as the “Blind Sheikh,” is serving a life sentence in U.S. prison for his role in the 1993 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. In that attack, six people were killed and hundreds were injured after a truck bomb was set off in the building’s garage.

Throughout September, reports surfaced that the Obama administration may consider releasing the Blind Sheikh into Egyptian custody. House Republican leaders – including eight powerful committee chairs – stepped up to voice their opposition to a potential transfer.

That prompted Obama administration agencies – including the Justice Department, National Security Council and State Department – to deny reports that they were considering transferring the Blind Sheikh.

“The blind sheik is going to serve out his life sentence,” National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said in September, for instance. “There are no discussions about transferring him.  [……]

Those public denials from the Obama administration haven’t stopped Egypt from lobbying for the Blind Sheikh’s release, and haven’t quelled worries from many in the national security community. Andrew C. McCarthy, the former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York who’s perhaps best known for successfully prosecuting the Blind Sheikh, predicted in September that the plan was always to release the Blind Sheikh after the November presidential election whether Obama won or lost.

“I think the plan has been to agree to the Blind Sheikh’s release, but not to announce it or have it become public until after the election,” McCarthy said then. “That is consistent with Obama’s pattern of trying to mollify Islamists. […….].”

Now that the election is over, Morsi is publicly pushing Obama to release the Blind Sheikh. In an interview with CNN that aired Monday, the Egyptian leader said he’s planning a March 2013 trip to the United States during which he’ll pressure Obama on the issue.

“I want him to be free,” Morsi said of the Blind Sheikh, adding that he “respect[s] the law. And the rule of law in Egypt and the United States.”

Morsi said that if Obama won’t free the Blind Sheikh, he thinks the convicted terrorist should be granted visitation rights with his family.

“Is there a chance for him to be freed? I wish this,”  [……] “Egypt’s relationship with America deserves that these issues be reviewed, if that is okay according to the law.”

Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood declared the winner in Egypt

Our Bi-Partisan elite must be cheering at this moment.  The Sun King, Hillary, Lieberman, Romney, McCain and Ms. Graham have their biggest wish come true. The darlings of Washington’s elites, the Muslim Brotherhood, has won the President election in Egypt. Although the Islamic-Fascist organization claimed they won last week today we have confirmation. Mohammed Morsi will be the next President of Egypt.

Mohammed Morsi was declared Egypt’s first Islamist president on Sunday, chosen in the freest elections in history that left the nation deeply polarized between supporters of an old regime figure and those eager for democratic change.

It was the culmination of the tumultuous first phase of a transition launched 16 months ago with the uprising that ousted autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak, who was replaced by a ruling military council headed by Mubarak’s defense minister of 20 years. It is the start of a new struggle with the military to restore the powers that the ruling generals stripped from the presidency even before the victor was declared.

And it was not the outcome desired by most of the liberal and secular youth groups that drove the uprising.

“The revolution passed an important test,” said Yasser Ali, a spokesman for Morsi’s campaign. “But the road is still long.”

Morsi now has to calm public fears that he will push to remake Egypt as an Islamist state and show that he will represent a broader swath of the public beyond his own fundamentalist group, the Muslim Brotherhood. He will also have to try to urgently address the major problems facing Egypt, a sharp deterioration in security and a flailing economy.

Eleven years after September 11, 2001, our nation is actively supporting the organization that spawned Al-Qaeda and Hamas. Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and soon to be Syria have fallen to Islamists. The Muslim Brotherhood is being aided by both Democrats and Republicans in Washington. Three thousand Americans were killed that September morning and in 2012 we are helping that same ideology achieve their dream of a Caliphate. I have nothing but words of disgust for our corrupt Bi-Partisan cabal in Washington. They are assisting the 21st Century version of the Nazis party.

Syria is the next target of the American-Islamist alliance. Both Obama and Romney support the Muslim Brotherhood rebellion and the ethnic cleansing of Christians in that nation. What happened to my country?

On a  side note: Over at DOD there is a post showing LGF’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Obama Administration to Egypt: Turn over government to Muslim Brotherhood, or lose US aid

Openly giving aid and comfort to our enemies:

Obama Administration Gives 1.5 Billion to Muslim Brotherhood

Published on Mar 22, 2012 by GohmertTX01

Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) spoke on the House floor and addressed the recent report that the Obama Administration is giving $1.5 billion in military aid to the Muslim Brotherhood.

On June 18, as the Muslim Brotherhood faction claimed victory in the Egyptian election, the Obama administration made US aid conditional on the military regime turning over control to Mohammed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Obama Threatens Any Opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt with the Withdrawal of All U.S. Aid

The Obama administration warned Egypt’s military leaders on Monday to speedily hand over power or risk losing billions of dollars in U.S. military and economic aid to the country.

It wasn’t enough that Obama invited the Muslim Brotherhood to his submission speech in Cairo in June 2009, despite the fact that the group was banned at that time for obvious reasons: they wanted to install a Sharia government, and the draconian, barbaric code of Sharia in Egypt. It wasn’t enough that after he invited the Brotherhood to his speech, he had officials in his administration meeting with this Islamic supremacist group. It wasn’t enough that he abandoned the true freedom movement, when the women of Iran and the Persians, Zoroastrians rose up after 30 years of oppressive Sharia rule. He spit on them and left them to die. They met bullets with bare flesh and broken bricks. It was a squandered historical moment – remove the head of the snake of Hezb’allah, Hamas, the shiite fighting American soldiers in Iraq, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the shia agitation in Bahrain. Obama could have saved the free world and gone down in history as one of the magnificent heroes for good. But that is not who he is. He is a tool, a malevolent subversive who managed to seize the most powerful office in the world with the PR expertise of the enemedia.

Obama’s war on the good continued.

It wasn’t enough that he abandoned our 30-year ally in Egypt, the first Muslim country to make peace with the Jewish people despite the Jew-hatred mandated in the Quran. It wasn’t enough that he threw our great friend and ally out with both hands, the most liberal of reformers in the Muslim countries in that region.

On January 25, 2011, the “Freedom Revolution” — in fact, the Fascist Revolution — showed its fist. I, along with a few other courageous observers like Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, warned that this was the Muslim Brotherhood and had nothing to do with the freedom being sold like “new diet Coke” by the enemedia. And I suffered the slings and arrows of Islamic apologists who derided me for insisting this was a Brotherhood op and insisted that this had nothing to do with the Muslim Brotherhood. (January 2011: Egypt Going From Bad to Brotherhood) And here we are, eighteen months later, with the Muslim Brotherhood declaring victory in a presidential election, and what does the leader of the Free World do? He threatens to withhold all U.S. aid to anyone who stops the Muslim Brotherhood from taking power. Does he threaten to withhold aid from the Muslims in Gaza who daily talk about their desire to destroy Israel and annihilate the Jews, and who glory in the murders of young families with their children, and lob rockets into civilian areas so that the people there have to live in terror going to work and to school? Of course not — he increases the aid to the annihilationists who thirst for genocide in their mad Islamic Jew-hatred.

Stand up people. Get up. Stand up for your life…

The story is far from over. Though Obama’s intentions are clear, not so the election results:

AP: Mubarak’s ex-PM claims to win Egypt president vote

By Hamza Handawi

CAIRO (AP) — A campaign spokesman for Hosni Mubarak’s ex-prime minister said Tuesday that Ahmed Shafiq has won Egypt’s presidential election, countering the Muslim Brotherhood’s claims that its candidate was the winner and setting the stage for a divisive fight for the leadership.

The rival claims potentially open a new chapter of unrest at a time when opposition already is growing against a constitutional declaration announced by the military on Sunday which robbed the next president of many powers and gave the generals who succeeded Mubarak last year legislative powers as well as control over the process of drafting a permanent constitution.

The Brotherhood is already gearing up for a confrontation with the ruling military. It has called for mass demonstrations in Cairo and elsewhere on Tuesday to protest the military’s declaration, which made changes to the interim constitution, as well as a court ruling last week that dissolved parliament, where the Brotherhood controlled nearly half the seats…

One possibility is that Egypt’s military may attempt to wait it out in the hope that Obama will leave office before he can make good on his threat to discontinue aid.
