He saw the writing on the wall. If Obama and other western leaders forced Mubarak out of power it would leave a power vacuum that the Muslim Brotherhood would fill.
No brainer.
Beck had the balls to speak out about it. Others who knew how this would play out in Egypt didn't have his testicular fortitude.
So you're saying that the Muslim Brotherhood victory was inevitable?
lol, do you know that Mitt Romney supported the removal of Mubarak?
They had been steadily gaining power in their parliament. Anyone who keeps abreast of ME politics knows this.
I read Al Jazeera daily.
While US media focuses on Michelle's glamour, or the White House garden or Obama's parties at the White House, there are real news organizations around the planet that actually report news.
Shocking isn't it? Real news.
The US political media are more like TMZ these days with a suck up to the White House and all things Obama.
And all the US politicians including Romney who supported the removal of Mubarak were fools.
But then I have to remember that they were getting their info from Clapper who characterized the Brotherhood as a secular organization so I guess I can't be too harsh in my opinion of their foolishness.
They believed obviously what Director of National Intelligence James Clapper claimed.
"Clapper also characterized the Brotherhood in Egypt as a mostly secular umbrella organization.
"The term 'Muslim Brotherhood'...is an umbrella term for a variety of movements, in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried Al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam," Clapper said in response to a question from Myrick.
"They have pursued social ends, a betterment of the political order in Egypt, et cetera.....In other countries, there are also chapters or franchises of the Muslim Brotherhood, but there is no overarching agenda, particularly in pursuit of violence, at least internationally."
