1. Ashamed American
Me ,   Texas   (12.18.13)
I am totally ashamed at being an American under the Obama presidency. Big mouthed ignorant Hillary spoke out in full support of Morsi and totally disregarded our 30 year friend and ally Mubarak. Now we see how misguided, wrong and clueless the Administration was. The Obama adminstration is a blundering bunch of clueless buffoons - look at the boondoggle Obamacare, their idiotic negotiations with Iran, and now they supposedly have a "peace plan" for Israel and the Pali Arabs? God help us!!!! Deliver us all from these blundering FOOLS in US leadership!!!
2. 1# You, Texas
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (12.18.13)
Go to YouTube and search for Ronald Reagan; He warned against socialised medicine, he warned against socialism sold as liberalism, he warned against the then unknown: Obama
3. now i understand why Obama so mad at Egypt for removing him
Naftuli ,   jerusalem   (12.18.13)
Its evident that Obama is trying to realign powers in the middle east. He wants Iranians to power up, and bring the Saudies down a bit. And if Morsi was working to further the Iranian/Hamas/Hezbollah alliance and even bring Egypt into that alliance, then Obama probablly was cool with that.... so now they took back their country thru a revolution(number 2) supported by the popular poeple and Obama got mad and cut them off !!!! Thats an eye opener.
4. I generally support obama
real vision ,   usa   (12.18.13)
but his head is in the sand concerning the mid east and the islamic terror threat...Good for egypt for throwing out Morsi And the MB and uncovering their plotting with terrorist groups. Time for obama to own up for his mistakes in the mid east and call a spade a spade.
5. Does this information suprise anyone?
(12.18.13)
When you lye with Dogs you get fleas! Question is How could b.H.o. Have secret talks with the Terror regime in tehran and IGNORE ALL they do Outside of their secret military Nuclear Program!!!
6. Morsi
Fad Egypt   (12.18.13)
although i dont believe anything said in the state media, especially when it comes to the MB, but making no mistake that on 29 January 2011, when i heard in the news that some members of the Hamas and Hizbullah organizations were able to flee from the state prisons, i said that both Hamas and Hizbullah conspired together to storm the prisons and help their own members to flee, and among the other prisoners were the MB members, but i am not sure if the Morsi was conspiring with them, because Morsi and the other MB members were arrested on 27 January, so how can Morsi conspire with these organizations while he is in prison ??!!! or how could he know that he will be imprisoned and the location of the prison ??!!! anyway despite that the military council which was ruling the country after Mubarak ouster ignored that and allowed the MB to run the elections and to form their own party, not only the MB but also the radical Salafi stream, and the former terrorist Gamaa Islamiya movement which assissanated Sadat, Morsi himself was allowed to run for the elections while at the same time, my estimations were proved correct by late General Omer Sulieman who testified in the trial of Mubarak and said that Hamas and Hizbullah stormed the prisons and helped the MB members to flee the prisons, so how can the military council to ignore such thing and let Morsi run for president ??!!! shalom
7. #1 DITTO--DITTO-DITTO
ARNE ,   CHICAGO USA   (12.18.13)
LET'S JUST WAIT IT OUT AND HOPE THAT HILLARY DOESN'T GET IN.
8. $8bn from Obama for sale of 40% of Sinai
(12.18.13)
9. Morsi allied to all of Israel's attackers?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (12.18.13)
If these allegations are true,Morsi and his cronies should rot in Hell.The implication is that Morsi was preparing to renege on the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty if he hadn't already surreptitiously done so.He probably had already done so. That Morsi has actually had these charges brought against him suggests two things; 1)The new Egyptian regime is at least going to maintain cold peace with Israel and can be trusted at least as far as that. 2)Islamists cannot be trusted and what they say cannot be taken as truth.Morsi was the President of a major country yet it's alleged that he lied through his teeth and deceived everybody except his cronies.If that is the case,it raises the question of whether the Iran regime's undertakings made in the negotiations over its nuclear program have any value whatsoever. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
10. Should try a senior US official in absentia as well

11. #1 Me, #8
Fad Egypt   (12.18.13)
#1 Me, it is not only the Obama problem, Obama mistake is that he supported the ouster of Mubarak and the so called democracy in Egypt, dont forget Bush too, he was supporting the democracy in the middle east, he pressured Israel to allow Hamas to run for the elections despite Israel refusal, he also pressured Mubarak to allow the MB to run for the parliamant in 2005, it is the military mistake to allow the MB and the islamists to run, it is the voters mistake to choose Morsi and prefer him over the civil candidate general Shafik #8, there is no evidence of that deal, also the person who is alleged to have said such thing, has denied it completely, why Obama gives the MB 8 Bn dollars to persuade them to give part of Sinai to Hamas while there is no difference between Hamas and the MB ??!!! it is not in the MB hands to give Sinai to Hamas, but it is in the army hands, it is the army who can transfere any parts of the country to any side, not the president, how can Obama give such money to the MB, while he is sure that the MB cant do that ??!!!, so the whole story is BS shalom
12. Israel fears Arab Democracy, wants Cold War dictators back
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.18.13)
13. The US should try Obama for treason !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (12.18.13)
Morsi was just his buddy and a small fish...!!!
14. #12 - unilateral Islamist policies pushed on population
William ,   Israel   (12.18.13)
That was just some of the mistakes the MB made while Morsi was in office, and rejected by the majority of Egyptians. Is that what you call "democracy"? When Israel passes laws supported by majority of citizens, you call it an Apartheid State. When Egypt's govt forces minority policies on the majority, you call it "democracy". You do live in a bizzaro world, don't you?
15. #12 - don't you have anything better to do?
Goop ,   Silver Bay   (12.18.13)
Seriously, why do you troll this forum with your nonsense? It's obvious you just type the dumbest stuff you can think of to get a reaction. What's your job? Do you have one? Don't you have anything better to do? Seriously.
16. Richard M Nixon and William (Bill) Clinton
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.18.13)
If USA could try Clinton and "dethrone" Nixon, USA can force HUSSEIN Obama to leave the White House as well.
17. Regarding the fanaticism of nr 12 - Steve Benassi
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.18.13)
In order to understand a fanatic and racist extremist such as Steve Benassi, you should read "The True Believer" by American-German intellectual Eric Hoffer. Mr Hoffer delivers an icecold, coolheaded description and analysis of the inner psychological mechanisms in the mind of a fanatic - a so called "true believer". You cannot reason with a fanatic and you cannot appeal to a conscience he suppresses because a true fanatic has his belief which he will cling onto as if his life depended on it.
18. Exact reason why HusseinObama put him in power
Chaim Schonbrun ,   Brooklyn ny   (12.18.13)
19. Obama
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.18.13)
Obama's support of Morsi was to be expected. After all he was also a Muslim until he realised his career would be furthered more as a Christian.
20. 19
jonathan ,   adelaide/Israel   (12.19.13)
Obama will always be a Muslim.Now ,if he was a smart man he would become a Jew and save the world and not wreck it.
21. 17
jonathan ,   adelaide/Israel   (12.19.13)
You are talking about Obama right? Benassi is an idiot but Obama is not.
22. Me conspiracy buff. Believe Israel murdered Mandela, Lincoln
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.19.13)
I also believe that Israel assassinated Hariri, Bin Ladin, Qaddafi, JFK, RBK, MLK, Hitler, Stalin, Sadat, Khomeini, Arafat, Ali Jinnah, Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Zia-ul-Haq, Prince Ferdinand, Mohammad, Jesus, Julius Caesar, Abel, Adam and Eve.
23. #12, not mine. Posted by an Obamacare deranged Muslim fan.

24. Arabs need perpetual bloodshed to justify Greater Arabia

25. In the name of humanity, kill your opponent
ghostq   (12.19.13)
26. amerikans voted to obama, just because
ghostq   (12.19.13)
someone talk nice, doesn't means his policy any good these basics in democracy, even in the ME he managed to ruin every realationship there is with the USA, this damage will be very hard to control, his remote controll policy is even worse. the Egyp fiasco will means amerikans forces mobility in the red sea will be damaged. add that to the non democratic steps obama and his not so mery gang take, it will lead to riots in and out of the USA.
27. MORSI WAS ACTUALLY GOOD FOR ISRAEL
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (12.20.13)
He tried to empower Gaza and was open to idea of taking Gaza back. That would have solved a lot of the problems of Palis. Abbas would get further isolated and would have no choice but to either run to Jordan or just declare WB as Palestine. Now, Ham Ass is cornered by All Sisi and has no choice but to re-unite with Abbas and that is bad news for Israel. They will want more territory and there will never never ever be peace.
