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.

Egyptian authorities arrest terror leader who may have ties to Benghazi

 Muhammad Jamal Abu Ahmad- on allegations that directly tie him to the death of four Americans on September 11th, 2012 in Benghazi, Libya- was captured by Egyptian authorities with the help of U.S. intelligence.  Ahmad- recently released from prison in 2011- has been very active, and hasn't missed a step despite his long incarceration as reported by Mediaite.

Jumping back with his terror cronies, Ahmad has been involved with the establishments of terror training camps in Egypt and Libya, was spearheading a future al-Qaeda foothold in Egypt, and according to Al Hayat, an Arabic newspaper based out of London, reported that al-Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri has previously given Ahmad the green light to launch coordinated terror attacks in Libya, Egypt, and elsewhere.

On the home front, the steam generated by conservative media engines has dissipated recently in regards to the Benghazi controversy and potential cover-up.  Despite the murder of heroic Americans overseas, the Obama administration cannot wait until this story is finally buried.

Can anybody say: Fast and the Furious?

In Washington, Reuters reports Secretary of State Hilary Clinton has agreed to testify on a report which is expected to surface sometime next week. Clinton will stand before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs headed by GOP representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.

Reuters:

Ros-Lehtinen said she expected an accountability review board convened by the State Department to release a report on the attack sometime next week.

The review board, led by veteran diplomatic heavyweight Thomas Pickering, is expected to consider whether enough attention was given to potential threats and how Washington responded to security requests from U.S. diplomats in Libya. 

Ros-Lehtinen said she wanted to hear from Clinton about steps the State Department has taken to deal with problems in the "security of our posts, threat assessments, host government responsibilities and coordination with other U.S. security agencies."

The committee's press release did not give a date for the hearing with Clinton, but said it expected it to happen "soon after" the review board's report is released.

The pieces are beginning to fall into place, and though U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice has already admitted to her blatant lies to the American people through five major television shows following the tragedy in Benghazi, this administration has never been "straight" with the facts.  Republican Senators McCain and Graham have been silent as of late- yet the Americans want answers and we refuse to forget.  Americans have the right to know how (or why) the White House continues to portray the United States as a feeble force in the world.

Furthermore, this administration has successfully carried forward outright unacceptable displays of leadership- specifically on Benghazi- as they sat and watched the brutal deaths of Americans overseas working diligently to communicate and represent this downright insubstantial and adolescent administration's voice.  For one thing, the White House has definitely been consistent with their daring "lead from behind" disposition on foreign policy.

Illinois Senate: Mrs.Obama to run for office?

First Lady Michelle Obama has created much buzz. Good or bad? That is yet to be determined.  But recent polls in Illinois has shown that the First Lady is not only dishing out regulations to your children's cafeterias and local restaurants, but serving up wide favoritism among constituents for future aspirations in Congress:

Big bad government. Detroit already looking for their handouts

Detroit looking for their hand outs:

Fox News Detroit:

"City Council member JoAnn Watson said Tuesday the citizens support of Obama in last month’s election was enough reason for the president to bailout the struggling the city.
“Our people in an overwhelming way supported the re-election of this president and there ought to be a quid pro quo and you ought to exercise leadership on that,” said Watson. “Of course, not just that, but why not?”
“After the election of Jimmy Carter, the honorable Coleman Alexander Young, he went to Washington, D.C. and came home with some bacon,” said Watson. “That’s what you do.”

Video of  Detroit city council member JoAnn Watson here:

Let us also be reminded of newly Democratic elected John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address in January of 1961.  JFK's inspiring words, "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country," independently contradicts the majority of today's public's perception of government.

This is how big government continues to glutton His enduring path for future survival.  First He lays down a foundation.  The foundation is first coated with a unique brand of cement: littered with poverty, poor education, crime, and drugs.  This cement is always wet- inescapable from certain damnation.  This foundation is layered brick by brick by corrupt big government type city officials recreating a vicious cycle for the populous.  From birth to death, or to incarceration- there is no escape.

Second, He gives false hope.  He promises the world, and he promises it to be free.  At this point, you are stuck and the cement has finally hardened despite your desperate plodding and wading towards any signs of possible success or prosperity for your children. You are lucky to have survived, and just at the very moment in which you and your family are ready to abandon the longing for any minute glimmer of the American Dream-  a "dangling fish" is dropped ahead.  But it is not yours.  Not just yet, even though big government always promises it to be.

Once your peers sit in a similar situation: including neighbors, classmates, co-workers, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters who are all down on their knees completely and utterly dependent of all the utopian promises big government has to offer: the populous is ideal.  The populous becomes dangerously dependent, and harmfully leftist.  This is not a "progressive" government. Rather, this is a voracious, devouring government so powerful you will not have a choice but to be dependent.  Independence has forever been the very ideological foundation to our government and adjacently our success.  I pray we never steer clear from such a prosperous experiment.

"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government, and I'm here to  help" - Ronald Reagan
