Silly Nebor, the USA gave 10 billion to Israel or over $1,758 dollars to the average Jew in Israel, which proves the the USA may be a wanna be Israeli ally, but what does Israel give us in return. While they sell US military secrets to the China instead.

As you may note Nebor, Israel dope slaps the USA instead. Is Israel a US ally or a giant US liability? Do the math Nebor and tell us its worth it.

Ask not what we in the USA can do for USA, instead ask what we can do to endorse the New Nazi Israeli thievery.

So what you're saying is that the US is fully committed the alliance but the Israelis are screwing us? Meh, maybe. Israels continued dominance and superiority is a priority though.

There is a little problem in that contention you see, because MB support in Egypt does not top 10%, but in wonderful Jordan MB support is 30%. So why not invade Jordan instead, its at least three times as valid as you point out.

Does percentage really matter? All you have to do is trace one terrorist attack to them.

I'm not surprised that the Muslim Brotherhood is gaining power, it's the only non-governmental entity in Egypt with substantial organization before the revolution. I don't believe it's true that the MB was against this revolution; I'd say they did not want to be identified with the revolution because then they might have been targeted and weakened. The Egyptian revolution started "spontaneously" all across the nation after Friday prayers, which to me screams organization, and only the Muslim Brotherhood had that kind of organization.

That does not however mean that the Muslim Brotherhood is going to be running Egypt. A revolution is not necessarily a controllable thing, and also the military currently has most of the power.

The Secret Rally That Sparked an Uprising

"The plotters, who now form the leadership core of the Revolutionary Youth Movement, which has stepped to the fore as representatives of protesters in Tahrir Square, in interviews over recent days revealed how they did it...

"We had to find a way to prevent security from making their cordon and stopping us," said 41-year-old architect Basem Kamel, a member of Mohamed ElBaradei's (Pal of Soros) youth wing (of Muslim Brotherhood) and one of the dozen or so plotters...

They met daily for two weeks in the cramped living room of the mother of Ziad al-Alimi. Mr. Alimi is a leading youth organizer for Mr. ElBaradei's campaign group.His mother, a former activist who served six months in prison for her role leading protests during the bread riots in 1977, lives in the middle-class neighborhood of Agouza on the west bank of the Nile.

Those present included representatives from six youth movements connected to opposition political parties, groups advocating labor rights and the Muslim Brotherhood."

Soros and Obama admin are also very much pro MB and called for them to be included in remake of Egypt.

The Muslim Brotherhood is using their faith to get people to vote them into power so they can then turn around and implement laws based on their faith? You don't say.

:hmm:

Hadn't heard all that, but can't say as I'm surprised as it obviously fits right in with what I suspected.

We can speculate until we are blue in the face about current MB support in Egypt. But right now Egypt is peacefully waiting for the general elections scheduled for this coming September.

After that maybe there will be a valid way to see how much support the MB has in Egypt.
Nor is Egypt an isolated Mid-east incident, the actual opening came from Tunisia, and now the Arab Youth are saying me too all over the Mid-east.

Anyone who thinks the MB played any significant role the this new Mid-east movement is somewhat nutso IMHO.

But a conspiracy theory by the suspicious can see anything, no matter how small, as total proof of their conspiracy theory.
