Thanks Barack! Another Obama goal realized! Wow, he's really on a roll! When Obama publicly called for Mubarak to step down, he either A) knew the MB was waiting in the wings, making him complicit in this takeover by a terrorist organization, or B) he didn't know they were waiting and thus demonstrated incredibly poor leadership by shooting off his mouth again without knowing the facts. Either way, Obama royally screwed up, and now a known terrorist group is set to take over our one time ally... www.theblaze.com/stories/new-poll-trouble-for-the-west-as-egyptians-on-pace-to-elect-muslim-brotherhood/Remember Amr Moussa? He’s the Egyptian presidential candidate — who is also a part of the Muslim Brotherhood — who said in May that Hamas — the terror group — is not a terror group. Now, a new Newsweek/Daily Beast poll finds that he‘s the likely winner in Egypt’s upcoming election, and his party is likely to gain power. And according to Newsweek, that’s bad news for Israel and America.
“The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s largest Islamist group, is poised to win the largest share of the vote in parliamentary elections,” the Daily Beast writes, “the man who appears to have a clear shot at the presidency, Amr Moussa, has made his name criticizing Israel; and a large majority of respondents favor amending or revoking the cornerstone of regional stability, the Camp David Accords.”
According to the poll of just over 1,000 respondents, the Muslim Brotherhood’s “Freedom and Justice Party” garnered the most support at 17 percent. The same support ringed true for Moussa:
On paper, the Newsweek/Daily Beast survey found a close race: Former Arab League chief Amr Moussa leads the pack with the support of 16 percent of likely voters, former diplomat Mohamed ElBaradei and former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik follow with 12 percent each, and a smattering of others trail in single digits. But Moussa clearly has wider appeal: When we surveyed likely voters with just the three front-runners, the former foreign minister, who talks tough on Israel, garners 47 percent, with “Undecided” running even with the remaining two.

You give Obama too much credit and power. I don't really recommend anybody do that with somebody that they consider their enemy.

i have said it before, and i will say it again. just as the ANC laid down arms for legitimacy in South Africa, so the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to do in Egypt. and truthfully, it is the nutty Islamic Jiihad, a splinter group, that is FAR more of a concern.
i think the most interesting thing to watch will be what happens AFTER the elections.
