Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is warning Egypt that its transition to democracy after years of political turmoil is faltering ahead of presidential elections later this month.

His Carter Center won’t be sending observers for Egypt’s May 26-27 election, which many believe retired Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi handily will win following the overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi last year that he led. However, the center will be sending a small team of experts.

In a statement Friday, the center warned that “Egypt’s political transition has stalled and stands on the precipice of total reversal.” The center said Morsi’s overthrow deepened the political unrest in the country. The military-backed interim government has declared Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood group a terrorist organization, as hundreds of its followers have been killed and thousands have been arrested. …

I cannot put this down to Carter’s age. His open support for the MB is just pure evil.

Carter is just disappointed another Islamic regime isn’t being established.

His gift of Iran is about to become nuclear tipped soon.

Carter only sends his observers to elections where Marxists and Islamists must cheat to win. He then certifies the election as fair and the results completely honest.

I am so happy that Jimmah al-Cahtah is a former president and will be happy at noon on January 20, 2017 when Barak Husseian Obama joins him as a former president.

Change the first name to “Yakub” (since James is cognate with Jacob, “Yakub” in Arabic) and that’ll be apropos.

Why can people not see that Carter,Clinton,Obama et al are actively overthrowing a 30 year allie to support the muslim brotherhood?

Obama is actively building a beach head in North Africa.

The bigger question is why Jews can’t see which Party hates them and Israel? Obama could nuke Israel and they would still vote 95% Democrat.

Pray America wakes up

We had Libya all ewn up till these chuckleheads got power.

Ghaddafi was being a very good boy.
Now what do we have? A dead Ambassador? and questions?
Tunisia is also in tumult.
All thanks to these chuckleheads.

In the mean time Obama is allowing Putin tun run in the open, rebuilding the old soviet empire and encroaching on Europe, and who’s Obama spying on?

US and Angela Merkel

Dear Mr. Carter,
Your useful time on Earth has passed. You can rest now.

Permanently.

In a wooden box.
Love,

Laz

NOW Jimmy Carter is “concerned” about Egypt....

After it looks like the Muslim Brotherhood is being kicked out of town? So you realize, Jimmy, just how much this undercuts al-Qaeda?

Well, when he puts his trust in the MB, he just cannot stand to see bad things happen to them, you know.
