So, the US government under Obama/Clinton assisted a much smaller revolution against Mubarak which led to a far more totalitarian government let by the Muslim Brotherhood/Al Queda, and now the US assists the MB to hold power against a far far larger revolution of the Egyptian people for making himself a far more powerful and more totalitarian dictator.
If I am wrong, and I well could be, someone please straighten me out in the comments.
Eeyore.

Egypt‘s political crisis spiraled deeper into bitterness and recrimination Friday as thousands of Islamist backers of the president vowed vengeance at a funeral for two men killed in bloody clashes earlier this week and large crowds of the president’s opponents marched on his palace to increase pressure after he rejected their demands.

Muslim Brotherhood and Egyptian President Morsi supporters carry a body one of six victims who were killed during Wednesday‘s clashes during their funeral outside Al Azhar mosque, the highest Islamic Sunni institution, Friday, Dec. 7, 2012. During the funeral, thousands Islamist mourners chanted, “with blood and soul, we redeem Islam,” pumping their fists in the air. “Egypt is Islamic, it will not be secular, it will not be liberal,” they chanted as they walked in a funeral procession that filled streets around Al-Azhar mosque. Thousands of Egyptians took to the streets after Friday midday prayers in rival rallies and marches across Cairo, as the standoff deepened over what opponents call the Islamist president’s power grab, raising the specter of more violence.(AP Photo/Hassan Ammar)
For Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government, more battle tanks and jet fighters are on their way from the United States.
Cairo’s military link to Washington has remained intact, meaning the U.S. will continue to modernize the biggest military in Africa — even as President Mohammed Morsi has decreed near-absolute power for himself and his supporters and opponents battle outside his palace.
Analysts say Egypt’s military buildup presents risks for Washington — and Israel — with the growing influence of the Brotherhood, whose overriding goal is to establish Shariah, or Islamic, law worldwide.
A Pentagon statement to The Washington Times on Thursday said: “We are always reviewing our foreign assistance to make sure foreign assistance advances U.S. objectives and is being used for the right purposes.”
For now, Egypt is due 200 M1A1 Abrams battle tanks, the same mechanized firepower manned by American soldiers, bringing Egypt’s inventory to a robust 1,200.
OT – Norwegian court strikes down terror charges against Islamist cleric Mullah Krekar, reduces prison time
OSLO – A Norwegian appeals court has struck down terror charges against an Iraqi-born Islamist cleric currently serving time for making death threats against a Norwegian politician and intimidating witnesses.
Najmaddin Faraj Ahmad, also known as Mullah Krekar, received a total of six years imprisonment after convictions earlier this year, but the appeals court on Thursday reduced that to two years and 10 months after acquitting him of inciting terror.
The court upheld the conviction linked to death threats Krekar made against one Norwegian politician and three Kurds.
The 56-year-old cleric came to Norway more than 20 years ago as a refugee. He is the founder of Ansar al-Islam, a Kurdish group listed as a terrorist organization by the United States.

No Eeyore, you are not wrong.
We are bearing witness to the solidification of an alliance between the Obama administration and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Leftist bureaucrats, governments, elements of law enforcement and the military as well as senior judicial members in courts around the world are now, quite boldly and certainly unashamedly, siding with the Muslim Brotherhood and many other fascist, totalitarian muslim groups like the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
They all have Western conservatives, Christians and others in their sights. Their primary target will be paving the way for the annihilation of every shred of Jewry on the planet.
I predict we will be there, if this pace continues, within 2 years.
The element of commonsense and strategy dictates that Morsi must be killed and killed quickly and all elements of the Muslim Brotherhood routed…….there is no time left to dither….

You get the feeling that the MB and obama/clinton are co-conspiritors and have been colluding with each other for quite some time now.

insane
This insanity must stop, we are stripping the West of the means of defense and at the same time arming the people who want to conquer us.

Egypt’s Military Warns of Dangers if Impasse Isn’t Resolved
CAIRO—Egypt’s military warned Saturday of “disastrous consequences” if the crisis that sent tens of thousands of protesters back into the streets isn’t resolved, signaling the army’s return to an increasingly polarized and violent political scene.
The military said serious dialogue is the “best and only” way to overcome the nation’s deepening conflict over a disputed draft constitution hurriedly adopted by Islamist allies of President Mohammed Morsi, and recent decrees granting himself near-absolute powers.
“Anything other than that [dialogue] will force us into a dark tunnel with disastrous consequences; something which we won’t allow,” the statement said. It was read by an unnamed military official on state television.
