Will Egypt’s Mursi challenge US-Israeli Mideast Policy?
Mohammad Mursi, the new president of Egypt, probably will not be allowed by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) with which he must co-habit to make Egyptian foreign policy, or at least to make it unilaterally. But over time, he may be able to have an effect at the margins. Indeed, we may have to speak of the president’s policy as distinct from the SCAF policy, rather than of “Egyptian” policy. Much depends on whether the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt can restore the dissolved parliament, or can do as well in a second round of parliamentary elections as they did in the first. Much depends on the president’s exact powers in the as yet unwritten new constitution. Much depends on whether Mursi is forced to run again for his office in 6 months, as the military appears to want, and whether he can win again then.

Cole's description of the US of AIPAC matrix of control over the Middle East is an eye-opener for the naive and a pillow for hardened cynics. *Will Mursi succumb to Israeli pressure, through its Washington arm ? * One hopes not. *Meanwhile, Tel Aviv is briefing and instructing Mitt the Mormon;

It doesn't take much imagination to picture the sort of wormtongue rhetoric which has formed Mitt's diet in the past . **
