More Freedom From Obama's Endorsed Muslim Brotherhood Egypt: Bars Americans from leaving

Obama will count on the enemedia to cover up this bloody, stinky historical mess of his. Newt! Rick! Mitt! Start blasting! Start defining and articulating the real problems this president and his quislings have wrought.

More "freedom" from Obama's post-American foreign policy.

U.S. outrage as Egypt bars Americans from leaving Reuter (hat tip Van)

(Reuters) - Six Americans working for publicly funded U.S. organizations promoting democracy in Egypt have been barred from leaving the country, provoking angry demands in Washington that Cairo's new military rulers stop "endangering American lives".

Among those hit by travel bans - one of those targeted called it "de facto detention" - is a son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, as well as other foreign staffers of the International Republican Institute and National Democratic Institute, officials at the two organizations said.

The United States said Egypt should reverse them: "We are urging the government of Egypt to lift these restrictions immediately and allow these folks to come home as soon as possible," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.

"We are trying to get them free to travel as soon as possible, and we're hopeful that we can resolve this in coming days," she said.

A month after police raided the Cairo offices of the IRI, NDI and eight other non-governmental organizations, it raises the stakes for Washington, which had already indicated it may review the $1.3 billion it gives the Egyptian military each year if the probe into alleged breaches of local regulations went on.

Some see it as a poor omen for Egypt's fledgling democracy following last year's overthrow of Hosni Mubarak.
Egyptian officials have made no comment on the bans.

Having failed to convince by scientific method without a liberal dose of green orthodox dogma, "global warming" and "climate change" have been dropped by the scientists-in-name-only in favour of "climate disruption" which fudges the issue.

Duh... Sorry folks, that comment should have been under "Another Green Giant Obama Bankruptcy..."

$1.3 billion it gives the Egyptian military each year... Make that zero.

Before I get tarred, I lived in Egypt for 20 years, and predicted the outcome on the 28th of January last year, as soon as the Govt. failed.

That said, we need to rethink our policies and ideas about what is right and wrong. We have become the worst of all worlds, Bullies to the weak, and at the same time threats to our freinds. The first time I head of a cruise missile, I knew they would become the weapon of choice of the morally bankrupt.(democrats) Drones are extension of this trend, and I am one who says we need to rethink the whole idea. We use these to ignore the soveirnty of countries that are weak, and kill damn near at Random. My mind boggles at the thought process that could find Guantanamo detention bad, but killing at will from the sky ok. HUH?? We have become what they claim we are.
Ron Paul and his candidacy must be at part the result of many people feeling this in their heart, even if they can't quite figure out the reason for their discomfort.
Lets get real about these Democracy idiots in egypt. They are not helping anyone, certainly not Egyptians. If Egyptian fools came to the USA and did what they were doing, fermenting trouble, we hopefully would put them in jail as terrorists. I am sorry, but if we want to have our sovereinty, we need to leave others to theirs.

I cringe at the sight of the Brotherhood in control here. But, sometimes people have to feel the pain to understand. Some of my freinds who voted for Carter and Obama are proof in point.

Egypt better watch out or Obama just might send them a strongly worded letter!

Egypt has Sharia Law as part of its constitution. Egypt is, and always will be, a genocidal theocracy as long as Sharia Law is in their constitution. They're simply voting on the next dictator and what sect he is.

WAKE UP AMERICA. IT'S ALREADY HERE. THIS HAS BEEN PLANNED SINCE SEPTEMBER 2011.

UNREST => OCCUPY RIOTS BY "RIOTS FOR HIRE" MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND GEORGE SOROS => OBAMA MARTIAL LAW DICTATORSHIP => SUSPENSION OF CONSTITUTION AND CONGRESS

...the weapon of choice of the morally bankrupt
A Hellfire fired from an unmanned aircraft to kill an enemy principal such as Anwar al-Awlaki is comparatively limited in the potential overall loss of life, when compared with the "boots on the ground" alternative such as the operation to capture two lieutenants of Mohamed Farrah Aidid that resulted in the "Black Hawk Down" battle in Mogadishu. The more the success achieved with Hellfire strikes against their cadres, the more the terrorist organisations and their admirers will squeal "unfair".

If we want to have our sovereinty, we need to leave others to theirs.
That only works if the disengagement is mutually respected, but we know that muslims believe fervently that Allah mandates a campaign to achieve worldwide dominance of Islam. Jihad isn't optional for muslims. Only temporary truces bought by tribute are offered to kuffar by muslims in order to regroup and gain strength. Thomas Jefferson found that out while solving the problem posed by unprovoked attacks on US merchant ships by Barbary Pirates over 200 years ago.

Perhaps Obama can appeal to 'non-secular parties' for mercy upon the prisoners, if they convert? Perhaps Bill Kristol can intercede?

[karl anglin]

I wonder how many of these Americans are Muslim?
