AP – 13 hrs ago.....

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's largest political group, the Muslim Brotherhood, warned the country's military rulers Saturday not to interfere in the writing of a new constitution. The statement from the Brotherhood marks the first time the Islamist group has directly challenged Egypt's ruling military council since the ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak in February.

The group's stand was prompted by comments from a senior government official this week that the military council will soon set out certain principles outlining who is eligible to draft a new constitution. The Brotherhood also fears the military is trying to enshrine a political role for itself in the constitution.

Parliamentary elections are slated for later this year, and the Brotherhood and its fellow Islamists are expected to do well at the polls. That would likely give them a dominant voice in appointing the committee that will draft a new constitution.

Liberals fear that an Islamist-dominated committee will produce a document that serves only the Islamists' agenda.....snip~

Looks like things aren't so much about Democracy with Egypt. As we recall John Kerry running over to Egypt because he just had to see Democracy in Action. Also the Military Council did vote in and make it Illegal to set up, protest, organize, and or particpate in any such event in any public place. That would mark such as demonstrations and or protests. Hence trying to prevent any type of uprising.
Now making Headlines all across the World.....the same group that was allegedly kicked out of Egypt is actually Directly Challenging Egypt's Military Might. Thoughts on how this is going to affect the US policy?

Well, Uncle Conley thinks the U.S. is going to have problems either way. Give the people true democracy and the government will be the MB and definitely anti-American. If the U.S. props up the military the people will revolt again, further destabilize the region, and it will be more evidence of the hypocritical nature of our foreign 'policy' which isn't even a policy but basically just a monkey throwing its own poop (no corn tho) against a map and seeing what sticks.

Hmmm.....and to think the Sunni state they have been holding Democratic Elections all this time. Plus we have seen how Democrats and those of the left try and define this New Version of Democracy. Government by the people, of the people, and for the people. Except in the M.E. and Egypt that seems to mean the Chosen People by the Chosen People for the Chosen people and Only the Chosen People. But hey we will call it Democracy as all voted.

Still the MB outright now defies the Egyptian Military. Must be due to the US backing. As Clinton met with what they called the Syrian Patriots who led the failed rebellion in Syria 29 yrs ago. Plus they are part of those Rebels in Libya. Did I mention they were Sunni led governments yet all the other people that are rising up with the Arab Spring are Shia. Except in one Country where Real Syrians are happening to be taking it to the majority Sunni population in their country.

So you think the U.S. is backing up the Muslim Brotherhood? Couldn't they be getting their support from somewhere else? I can't keep track of all this...going for another cup of joe.
