As the world watches the chaos in Egypt continue, a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood, one of the major political groups fighting for power, has now greatly increased tension in the reason.
Muhammad Ghannem told an Iranian news network that if he and the Muslim Brotherhood had his way, the Suez Canal would be closed immediately. This would not only hurt capital coming in for the Mubarak government, but it would have further repercussions, as one-third of the world's oil is transported through the canal. This could increase the price of oil and gas substantially.
Continuing, Ghannem stated that gas flowing from Egypt to Israel should stop immediately, “in order to bring about the downfall of the Mubarak regime.” Once again, this would hurt the Mubarak regime and would also hurt the Israeli economy in the process.
However, Ghannem's most provocative statements came about war with Israel. Talking about what the Muslim Brotherhood is prepared to do, Ghannem stated that “the people should be prepared for war against Israel.” This implies that a war with Israel could be inevitable if the group takes substantial power in Egypt.

Thank you Obama and Hillary, for your endless efforts to destroy the world economy.
But...but....I thought the MSM was reporting that they were the good guys...only wanting Democracy and freedom of the people....?
Why?
Yeah, I saw this episode that takes place in an inverse polar-opposite parallel universe, they’ve even got a black president. It doesn’t end well for the good guys.I’m afraid.
They’re just asking for an ass-kicking and, unlike the US, Israel has the Divine Fortitude to do it.
what great leadership by bozo the clown and his admin ARF.
He’s having google set up twitter for the rioters after their Govt closed it down, it says nothing about this but have a peaceful transition and it does seem that the far left are working with the muslim brotherhood plus who did obama’s henchmen really meet over there during that speech .
For 30 years we have had peace up comes our idiot in chief and all hell breaks loose over in the middle east and not a word of him supporting our allies, nothing zilch niche nada.
I hope the idiots who voted for this clown wake up soon so we can get the grown ups back into power.
Even bozo the clown, and the muslms brotherhood use the same language as change, peaceful transition.’something more is going on behind the scenes here but not that I expect our corrupt biased media do their job, sorry their job is to cover for their messiah.
Why is this a surprise? Hussein & Friends have always seen the US and Israel the source of all death,destruction and misery so it stands to reason they’d support the prospect of Israel being attacked.
Hillary is a thief and a whore, just wanting to position herself for what's for the taking or getting. She has no real political ideology beyond that.
what they want flies in the face of Egypt’s self interests.
closing the Canal will slash government intake of foreign exchange. Bellicose statements visi-a-vis Israel will finish
off whatever foreign investment is left. All they will have left is the mummy museum, and I won’t visit a country at war with the good side.
This will hurt b
Israel and Europe alike.
Hey, Moonbat; keep your day job.
Drill Baby Drill.
Meanwhile, it appears as though the Obama administration has weakened our military, and that projects the kind of powerlessness that encourages the likes of the muslim brotherhood, n’est ce pas?
Seems I remember a few months ago that a lot of Rabbi’s were saying it is beginning to look like we are entering Ezekiel 39.
check out the comments on CNN.com by liberals who are calling everyone concerned about this “hypocrites” because we do not celebrate their self-governance.
Well, that was insane.
Next you’ll be blaming Mossad.
Do not let this radical islamist president anywhere near a microphone and camera until you have analyzed an advance copy of his written statements before he gets to give marching orders to radical islam again!
His speeches are full of phrases meant to telegraph orders to the world of islam.
And Barbara Boxer wants to ban any oil exploration here.
