Just last month, Secretary of State John Kerry quietly sent Egypt an additional $1.3 billion, even though Egypt has failed to live up to democracy standards. That largesse didn’t stop a prominent Egyptian politician from talking about Egypt’s “enemy” the United States in what some pundits are classifying as a classic and embarrassing “hot mic” moment.

President Mohammed Morsi gathered a group of politicians last week who thought they were speaking privately at a parliamentary meeting. But as seen in an Egyptian television video of the meeting — excerpts of which were later translated by the Middle East Media and Research Institute (MEMRI) — they were actually on live television, cringingly discussing secret ways to stop Ethiopia’s Nile River dam project which threatens water flowing to Egypt.

The New York Times blog reports:

Unaware that their words were being broadcast live on a state-owned television channel, many of those seated around the table said the dam was in fact a secret American and Israeli plot to undermine Egypt that must be stopped at all costs.

The participants learned they were on live TV only after Magdi Ahmad Hussein, chairman of the Islamic Labor Party, suggested that all present vow not to leak any information to the media. Before being told he was on television, Hussein described the U.S. as an enemy [emphasis added]:

I’m very fond of battles. With the enemies, of course – with America and Israel, but this battle must be waged with maximum judiciousness and calm. Even though this is a secret meeting, we must all take an oath not to leak anything to the media, unless it is done officially by sister Pakinam [el-Sharkawy, a Morsi aide]. We need an official plan for popular national security, even if we…

Sorry, Read your post again and figure it has to with wording, on your point. Yes, the West ignores what these savages are doing, and I apologize again.

The internal hotspot will begin in Michiganistan, and the Nation Guard will
be ordered to protect their rights to kill the non-believers.

Classic case of Taqiyya being employed by the Muslim Bro’s and endorsed by Obama...in the meantime, it’s arab spring to McCain and Graham, where love is in the air and every muslim is just another Abe Lincoln ready to blossom.

Thanks Whenifhow.
President Mohammed Morsi gathered a group of politicians last week who thought they were speaking privately at a parliamentary meeting. But as seen in an Egyptian television video of the meeting... they were actually on live television... Magdi Ahmad Hussein, chairman of the Islamic Labor Party, suggested that all present vow not to leak any information to the media... "I’m very fond of battles. With the enemies, of course – with America and Israel, but this battle must be waged with maximum judiciousness and calm. Even though this is a secret meeting, we must all take an oath not to leak anything to the media, unless it is done officially by sister Pakinam [el-Sharkawy, a Morsi aide]."
Then brother John Kerry cut them a check.

Our NSA, FBI and Homeland Insecurity are too busy looking for some conservative to frame. They can’t be bothered with real terrorists planning to kill US citizens.

...is going to be a hot war between the West and a large part of the Islamic world. No one should be surprised because they tell us exactly what they think and exactly how much they hate us...

Sorry but the NSA, FBI, and Homeland are only concerned about white middle class, middle aged conservative white men who might cut their funding if elected...

Kerry's a fool - or he's on the take or both...
