Is There No End to the Lie?

Cairo. U.S. Secretary
of State Hillary R. Clinton is now urging “compromise” between the Egyptian
Islamist-dominated and “democratically- elected” government and that nation’s
military leaders. She presumes the
nation is transitioning to democracy.
Huh? What doesn’t she understand about Islamists and democracy? It’s an unnatural
alliance that cannot work. But, what’s the old saying “You can fool some of the
people…..”
AP writer Bradley Klapper writes that Egyptian Generals “stripped
the Presidency of many powers and kept them for themselves.” This statement presupposes
that their military has taken power in a coup when in reality they are protecting
their Constitution. Egypt’s Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that fully one
third of those elected were done so illegally. Their military, like our own, is
sworn to uphold and protect their Constitution.
Clinton has further announced the Obama administration will
give Egypt hundreds of millions of dollars in debt relief, private investment
capital and job creation funds.
