The head of Egypt's military took a tough line Sunday on the Muslim Brotherhood, warning that he won't let the fundamentalist group dominate the country, only hours after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton urged him to work with Egypt's elected Islamist leaders.
Clinton's visit to Egypt underscored the difficulty Washington faces in trying to wield its influence amid the country's stormy post-Hosni Mubarak power struggles.
Islamist Mohammed Morsi, a longtime Brotherhood figure, was sworn two weeks ago as Egypt's first democratically elected president. Led by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, the military handed over power to him June 30 after ruling Egypt for 16 months. The military, however, dissolved the Brotherhood-led parliament and stripped Morsi of significant authorities in the days before his inauguration, while retaining overwhelming powers for itself, including legislative power and control of the writing of a new constitution.
The United States is in a difficult spot when it comes to dealing with post-Mubarak Egypt—eager to be seen as a champion of democracy and human rights after three decades of close ties with the ousted leader despite his abysmal record in advancing either. …

How hard can it be?
Riddle me this, Batman. How many elections did Hosni Mubarak really win?
Like Dr. Frankenstein, we’re manufacturing the means of our own destruction. If Dear Leader wins another term, the only question will be whether socialism or Islam gets us first.
,,,,,, MONICA ,,,,, MONICA ,,,,, MONICA ,,,,, MONICA !!!!
But my name is Hillary ,,, what’s with you people ???
' Is is possible neither knows "who and what" the Bros are and how much of a threat they are?
Not likely, seeing the Bros are the progenitor to ALL modern day Terrorist Organizations, including Hamas, Fatah, and Al Quaeda and have been around for some 80 years....
....INCLUDING, HERE IN THE U.S. (undermining our Republic and trying--through mostly "Stealth/Civilization Jihad"--to DESTROY our Country and replace our Constitution with Sharia) for SIXTY (60) YEARS!p> So, anyone want to take a wild guess on why Obama continually defends, appeases and often "SUPPORTS" our "Enemies?
HOWS about y'all who HATE Mitt and Mormons who keep trying to make us believe Romney and Dear Leader are the same and in fact, Mittens is WORST???
Don't be bashful, step right up and give us all an example to prove your delusional fantasies?
BWAAAAHHAAAHAHAHA!!!
It was the Obama/Clinton influence that has caused the Mideast problems we have today. It is amazing how they have caused so much damage in three years. They triggered the Arab Spring which keeps on keeping on and has taken hundreds of lives - Arab blood on Obama’s hands.
What the heck? The emaculated One was going to make all the world like us and be our friends. The jug eared coon needs to step and fetch some more for those Egyptian SOBs; perhops some more bowing would do the trick.
“..How many elections did Hosni Mubarak really win?..”
Better yet; How many elections have any ME leaders “really” won?

Or, if illegal immigration gets us first. In the U.S., there are three wars going on all at the same time: The Left v.s. The Right; Islam and Non-Religious v.s. Everybody Else; and Illegal Immigrants/Illegal Drug Trafficking v.s. Everybody In The U.S. Legally Who Is Law Abiding.
I’m sure that Two Coyote Clinton and the Food Stamp President were behind the whole Arab Spring thing. They have induced total chaos into the area and now think they have the power to put the genie back into the bottle .... little chance. The forces unleashed will end up with the Caliphate and eventual war in the Africa and the entire mid-east.
“the difficulty Washington faces in trying to wield its influence ...”
Is that the Obama administration has already given everyone in Egypt all their money- for nothing LOL!
