I don’t often re-post on a topic unless there is new information and/or factors which justify the additional ink. In the case of my last article however, there seems to be some confusion regarding my position on the power struggle going on in Egypt. Judging by some of my email, a few folks apparently feel as though I’m coming down on the side of the Muslim Brotherhood. Well, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact I have studied the Egyptian terrorist organization in detail for many years now and could probably enlighten many of my readers as to the origins and intent of this group, which basically gave birth to the modern al-Qaeda doctrine and is now active in 70 countries.

The only point I was attempting to make was that it’s unlikely we will ever have true friends in the Islamic world, as even someone of General al-Sisi’s presumed military position of objectivity, views the U.S. as not in line with their foundational “Caliphate” belief system. Moreover, this ideology is sacred ground for these people and should never be lost on our own leadership when and wherever international “diplomacy” is concerned. But “let me be clear”, I believe without reservation that Morsi and his band of freedom haters and murderers belong in prison or dead, and absolutely nowhere close to any seat of power. Consequently, I support the “present” efforts of General al-Sisi in the hope he will hold elections at the earliest possible juncture, so the people of Egypt may take another swing at representative government, (having now tasted the true Morsi doctrine)…

It should be noted that my observations for the earlier post were based primarily on our Presidents propensity to speak regularly out of both sides of his mouth, thus leaving our nation with little in the way of options, internationally and/or domestically. Only by way of steadfast leadership and consistency on the issues could we have hoped to keep a financial stake in this critical Middle East chess game. Sadly, Saudi Arabia has already moved to checkmate, and to the tune of about $11-billion dollars more than we are giving (or not giving).
