Jimmy Carter, waffled and wavered during the Iranian crisis, and helped solidify extremist religious zealots which are today, now in firm control of Iran. We have witnessed the destructive nature of the Iranian Government as it's influence direct and indirect have cost thousands of innocent lives, and are on course to cost possibly millions of innocent lives lost.
Barack Obama, has waffled, wavered, and kept trying to figure out which side was going to prevail in Egypt so he could jump on that bandwagon. As few things have surfaced since Friday, one is a call that Mubarak made which is a tell-tale of how Obama and his Administration govern:
Hosni Mubarak had harsh words for the United States and what he
described as its misguided quest for democracy in the Middle East in a
telephone call with an Israeli lawmaker a day before he quit as Egypt's
president.
The legislator, former cabinet minister Benjamin
Ben-Eliezer, said on TV Friday that he came away from the 20-minute
conversation on Thursday with the feeling the 82-year-old leader
realized "it was the end of the Mubarak era".
"He had very tough
things to say about the United States," said Ben-Eliezer, a member of
the Labor Party who has held talks with Mubarak on numerous occasions
while serving in various Israeli coalition governments.
"He gave
me a lesson in democracy and said: 'We see the democracy the United
States spearheaded in Iran and with Hamas, in Gaza, and that's the fate
of the Middle East,'" Ben-Eliezer said.
"'They may be talking
about democracy but they don't know what they're talking about and the
result will be extremism and radical Islam,'" he quoted Mubarak as
saying.
Dear reader, read that last quote of Mubarak's ....... I doubt James Clapper would agree with Mubarak about the Muslim Brotherhood which is the key to radical Islam in a new radicalized Egypt. That is a very dangerous future considering what has happened involving the Egyptian Military.
Now we learn that it was actually an Egyptian Military coup that brought about the end of Mubarak's long Presidency:
CAIRO (AP) - It was the people who forced President Hosni Mubarak from
power, but it is the generals who are in charge now. Egypt's 18-day
uprising produced a military coup that crept into being over many days -
its seeds planted early in the crisis by Mubarak himself.
The telltale signs of a coup in the making began to surface soon after
Mubarak ordered the army out on the streets to restore order after days
of deadly clashes between protesters and security forces in Cairo and
much of the rest of the Arab nation.
"This is in fact the military taking over power," said political analyst
Diaa Rashwan after Mubarak stepped down and left the reins of power to
the armed forces. "It is direct involvement by the military in authority
and to make Mubarak look like he has given up power."
