Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood early stocking stuffers: M1A1 Tanks and F-16 Jets from U.S

At the brink of revolt, Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood newly established "Dictator in Chief" received a healthy early Christmas gift:

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.

It is quite disturbing that, given the current political circumstances in Egypt, Washington remains in close support with a known syndicated terrorist government.  The Muslim Brotherhood is no longer just an organization seeking worldwide radical theocracy. Ever since the questionable "democratic" election in June of 2012, this organization now has a quite significant and substantial worldly power being the largest army in Africa:

 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.

Also in the pipeline is a squadron of the Air Force F-16 Falcon, a multipurpose warplane able to dogfight and drop ordnance.

The government awarded Lockheed Martin Corp. a contract in March 2010 for 20 F-16s, the last to be delivered next year. That would increase Egypt’s total fleet to 240, according to a company press release at the time.

“Egypt has far and away the largest army in Africa,” said Egypt analyst Robert Springborg, a professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif.

The billions of dollars in U.S. military aid — in annual $1.3 billion stipends — have made the Egyptian air force the fourth-largest F-16 operator among 25 countries. Egypt’s 4,000 tanks, including the 1,000 or so M1A1s, make it the world’s seventh-largest tank army.

Tanks, billions of tax-payer dollars, and a squadron of some of the most advanced, flying, war-machines ever constructed are now in the hands of our enemy.  There is no question, as the Egyptian people stand surrounded by American made tanks, that the recent uprising could result in further civilian slaughter.  Actually, Morsi has already threatened his own people with preemptive military action, but where does President Obama stand?

We all remember Obama's support of the overthrow of Mubarak last year:

 Shocked NBC Correspondent wonders why Obama supports Mubarak overthrow-as reported on newsbusters.org

TODD: I just want to get your first reaction, before you give me a report, of the President saying Egypt was not an ally or an enemy.

ENGEL: Yeah, I almost had to sit down when I heard that. For the last forty years, the United States has had two main allies in the Middle East — Saudi Arabia and Egypt, the other ally in the Middle East being Israel. For the President to come out and say, well, he’s not exactly sure if Egypt is an ally any more but it’s not an enemy, that is a significant change in the perspective of Washington toward this country, the biggest country in the Arab world. It makes one wonder, well, was it worth it? Was it worth supporting the Arab Spring, supporting the demonstrations here in Tahrir Square, when now in Tahrir Square there are clashes going on behind me right in front of the US embassy?

You can see now teargas coming — teargas being fired into a crowd of demonstrators who are trying to get close to the embassy, which is at the end of the street, and throw rocks at the US embassy. A very different scene here, a very different Egypt before, when the United States — President Obama — was supporting the demonstrators, President Mubarak was in power, and Egypt was very much an ally. The President doesn’t seem to be sure if Egypt is an ally any more, and some demonstrators who the Arab Spring helped give a voice to are trying to attack the US embassy.

 Yet this time around Obama urges Morsi to maintain peace and to steer from violence:

 CAIRO -- Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi said he won't tolerate anyone working to overthrow the legitimate government.

Meanwhile, President Obama told Morsi that violence is unacceptable and urged talks with opposition leaders.

Why is the U.S. President less supportive of this Egyptian "giant strive" towards democracy?  Mubarak-though being a questionable dictator through his tenure-has always been in support with U.S. lead operations. Yet, President Obama considered him neither "friend nor foe."

Is Morsi, the leader of Africa's largest superpower whom publicly called for the destruction of Israel (video here), a righteous ally for the United States to protect and coddle?  It is very obvious that President Obama clearly prefers Morsi (the Muslim Brotherhood) to maintain power in Egypt despite the ominous agenda this organization represents worldwide.  If not, our President would have supported the anti-totalitarianism and pro-democratic uprising the Egyptian civilians continue to manifest, because he has done so based on track record.
