Nothing in that quote says you advocated Obama breaking a law. You said Obama was correct, policy-wise, in not cutting aid. But it turns out he did cut aid. So was he still correct when he did that, or is Obama now as bad as McCain, who called early on for aid to be cut? Or, is it only bad to call for aid to be cut if you want to divert the aid to build bridges?
Al Qaeda black flag (like the AQ headband they also use) flying over Benghazi courthouse days after US and Qatar ‘liberated’ with their jihadist rebels, from Gaddafy who said the rebels were Al Qaeda and no one believed him in the West. He called them drunken rats and scorpions and terrorists and Al Qaeda.
USA and Qatari airstrikes on Benghazi allowed their AQ ground ‘rebels’ to take control and install the AQ flag over the court.
It is said and believed that the USA loved the idea of the MB ruling.
With the MB in control they thought that they only have to deal with one man the murshid who must be obeyed by his followers. Morsi was just the face. Indeed the MB only listen and follow the murshid. Morsi followed the murshids orders. So the USA thought that instead of dealing with many different types of people they just had to worry about one mans opinion. I guess a bit like Hitler. The supreme leader.
The USA were ignorant of the fact that the Egyptians are majority moderate and not MB and therefore would not allow an Ayatollah to change their religion and how they practice Islam and to go on Jihad with Hamas and US rebels in Syria and Libya etc.
PFFFFT! We, in the US, were very concerned about the rise of the MB in Egypt after Mubarak resigned. But you guys elected them, so we tried to respect your choice. Don’t blame us for electing whom you did.
The Murshids spokesperson is Gehad El Hadad.
Hadad moves between London and Washington where he broadcasts from.
Hadad is very famous and a joke on the internet with his 100% propaganda Tweets and posts etc and usually seen on Al Jazeera and CNN etc being interviewed spreading the propaganda to the outside world.
He was arrested in September for inciting killings
Do you think Egyptians care about who you respect or not?
We care about the USA supporting terrorism currently wildly out of control in Syria and Libya and if they had their way and managed to free Morsi and MB Egypt too.
Moderate, schmoderate. I don’t care what they call themselves when they believe:
When Americans say we believe the Morsi election was valid we are responding primarily to, I believe, the fact that it was certified as legitimate by the Egyptian Election Commission and Morsi was lawfully certified to be President. We are not responding to the possibility that Morsi was taking orders from Murshid. As a rule most Americans know very little about things like that.
I for instance still would say from my perspective that the election was legitimate and lawful even if its true that Morsi must obey a supreme religious leader before upholding the constitution and governing in a mode comparable with freedom of religion - because most Egyptians knew that going in when they voted.
That said I am sympathetic to the problem the moderates and anti MB voters had because was not the opposition to Morsi tied to Mubarak somehow?
Could you fill me in on Morsi’s opponent so I can be sure about that?
Because of the US and Qatar and AQ murdering Gaddafy.
The things Libyans will never see again:
1.There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its citizens.

- Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Manmade River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country.

well I guess you never walked around Egypt then and asked the people
Same question as before - if the election was invalid because it was rigged, why was the referendum valid even though it was also rigged?

Fine. Could you please tell us what those headbands say?
No I haven’t. And if I wanted to conduct a scientific poll, that wouldn’t be the way to do it.
Because it produced the desired result?
You missed out many problems
Voters were stopped from voting in anti Morsi areas.
MB judges in polling stations were rigging boxes.
Neutral judges refused to take part and voting station didn’t open in areas.
Coptic areas were threatened or didn’t get to vote.
Millions of illiterate peasants were given boxes outside the polls of oil and sugar and rice to vote Morsi.
MB were driving round and outside all stations telling the people that they would go to hell if they voted Shafik and remember Egyptians are pious and half are illiterate poor peasants.
The carried on violating election rules by sitting outside campaigning at polls till the end of voting.
These are just a few of the violations we watched the 2 days in our streets.
You cannot possibly call this democratically elected by my meaning of the term?
IF you were in Egypt then you would have seen the complete difference in the 2 days of voting.
It was nothing like in the above post. It went smoothly with virtually zero violations of the rules of voting.

Marmite Lover, this is a direct pull from another site. That sort of thing requires attribution on the Straight Dope Message Board. We take copyright very seriously here and expect all members to respect the copyrights of others.
In addition, in the second comment in the article you lifted the author of the piece disavows several of the points you made. Not only are you lifting sources without attribution, but you’re doing it poorly.
This is another warning. In Great Debates one is expected to debate honestly and with some ability. I encourage you to up your game.
of course you wouldn’t ask the people, why would you want to do that and actually ask people in the street what they think?
rely on US or US NGO polls as you wish
my mistake I forgot to put the quote thing but last few times the quote thing wasn’t working and I had to remove one letter in the brackets to post it. You can of course go back and check that fact.
here is one of them from today
