'Egypt gov't sources: Shafik to be named president' (Muslim Brotherhood loses!!!)
Jerusalem Post ^ | 06/22/2012 | JPOST.COM STAFF, REUTERS

Posted on 06/23/2012 2:45:44 AM PDT by Dave346

Ahmed Shafik, who served as Egyptian prime minister under Hosni Mubarak, will be announced as the winner of the country's presidential runoff election on Sunday evening, Egpytian daily Al-Ahram reported Friday, citing government sources.

Al-Ahram quoted a source in the current Egyptian government as saying Shafik will be declared victor with 50.7 percent of the vote.

Both Shafik and rival candidate Mohamed Morsy of the Muslim Brotherhood have previously declared themselves the winner of the runoff election.

The results of the election were originally scheduled to be announced on Thursday, but the announcement was delayed as Egypt's electoral commission investigated charges of fraud lodged by both sides.

I don’t think the Muslims were ever trying to win it legally. I read in the WSJ that the elections inspectors raided one of the printshops producing the ballots - and found that the printers were shipping them out with the box for the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate already checked!

He should have been impeached and removed after that disgusting display of faggotry. It still annoys me that they were all laughing at him (us). President Doofus Hussein 0moron.

I doubt highly the Muslim Brotherhood lost. The Egyptian millitary hates them and does not want them.

Have to give the Egyptian military their props for not letting the MB take over.

My guess is that the Egyuptioan military arranged this outcome, relizing the MB simply cannot be allowed to rule. it would be a suicide pact wherein they would try and force the military to use its US technology to attack Israel, which they would not do and the nation would descend into Civil War...which may happen anyway.

This way the military has the upper hand from the get go.

Sad that the Republican process is not ready to work there...but our own President saw this coming and allowed it to happen...in fact, encouraged it to happen and the Egyptian Militayr is now stadning up and simply saying, no.

If the people, by the will of their voice, choose Sharia LAw and conflict with Israel, they are choosing to be defeated as a people and a nation and the Egyptian MIlitayr, many of whom have been to the US and seen our society, are scularized enough to not want that putcome.

The military was never going to just cede power to the Muslim Brotherhood and step back into the sidelines. They military has been a favored class for decades since Nasser, and aren’t going to just let the Salafis curb their economic privileges for the sake of “democracy”.

I don’t know how much Salafism has spread into the conscripts, but the senior officer corps definitely views them as enemies.

I’m not either, but which model is better Chile’s or Iran’s?

Send some U of Chicago economists over and watch Egypt thrive.

Quick, MB! Kill .08% of the populace. A few Copt church bombings and burnt Berber villages should do the trick by next election.

Will be interesting to see what happens in Egypt now that MB candidate has lost after prematurely claiming victory earlier in the week!

Is there anything that Pres__ent 0bama can do, wielding the power of the Oval Office, to change that outcome?

This is as much as loss for obama as it is for the muslim brotherhood. our muslim and chief has welcomed the brotherhood into the white house w/open arms. not good for barry.

never saw that one before!

The Bible is the strangest and most amazing book in the world. Most times when I open it, I see something I've missed or things jump out at me that didn't make sense before. I've also spent much time trying to find something that I know I've read, only to fail as it seemed to now be hidden.

If you haven't read it, I highly recommend The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn for insight into how easy it is to miss true meanings of certain scriptures. The book also highlights a profound warning for America that many still are not seeing.

The election is meaningless. The military is in charge, and they have the guns and tanks.

They will not give up their power voluntarily. They control the billions of American aid money and are in charge of any construction.

If you don’t like it, come and face the tanks. Or go to America.

We have no idea who won legally. Same people kept putting Mubarak in office after all.

yep PapaBear3625, the hammer could become more ratcheted up. Not looking forward to it being ratcheted up, and am praying God does not will it to be so, yet know in my heart the likelihood draws nigh for all our Military Persons, and possibly we civilians (inside our nation) who are this nation’s citizens. Do not want to scare anyone, yet sometimes one should prepare to be scared. Being scared is not something to be avoided. Sometimes being scared creates a Hero.

All along the contention has been between the military and the hardliners. The military eventually stepped aside when the protestors where trying to overthrow Mubarak but they have always tried to thwart the MB.
