Could It Be? A Glimmer of 'Good News' from the Middle East!

By Davidduff

Hard to believe but Jonathon S. Tobin at Commentary would have it so.  According to him, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt have, in effect, surrendered to army power.  Since the military coup their choice has been harsh, either toe the line and behave yourselves or you will have absolutely no part of any new arrangement for running Egypt's affairs.  That message has been hammered into them by the army who have arrested their leaders and shot their supporters as and when they appeared, in decreasing numbers, on the streets.  The important point, according to Tobin, is that the Egyptian people have also made a choice - of two uncomfortable dictatorial regimes on offer, on the whole, they prefer the lilitary to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Needless to say, with unerring incompetence Obama's State Department also chose sides and as usual chose the wrong side!  They sympathised with Morsi and his fundamentalist fanatics and cut their support to the Egyptian army.  This had one fairly obvious result, well, obvious to anyone other than the likes of John Kerry, that it has opened the door for the Russians to step in and see if they can be of any assistance to the Egyptian army!  You couldn't make it up!
