MURSI AND THE SINAI:
The verdict is still out on who was responsible for the
attack a few weeks ago, but it is very apparent how the event has been molded
into the " Master Plan" for the MB.
Getting Israel's
consent to move forces into the restricted Sinai under the auspice of
countering a proven threat to not only Egypt but Israel as well, was a clever move.
Moving more than you were given permission to, such as
Tanks, is brilliant opportunity not lost by the MB.
Does anyone really think these forces will be removed, even
if the supposed threat is removed?
Don't bet on it.
With these troops already in place, why would Egypt / the MB
/ not raise the subject of reviewing "treaty statuses" with Israel?
Would the argument not be, " it is obvious that times
have changed and Egypt must be given the ability to keep 'everyone' in the
region safe from Terrorist acts"?
You can bet Mursi will frame his argument in a manner close
to this.
How will Israel respond?
Does Israel already have too much on it's plate with Iran to
spend energy and political capital on the subject of the Sinai; at least for
now?
My bet is they do.
MURSI'S / MB / MOVE ON THE EGYPTIAN MEDIA:
Almost completely off the radar, something the MB is very
good at, is the topic of Mursi's government moving on the media of Egypt.
If you have not been following this story, you are not
alone.
Syria is the sexy, crisis for the media right now and that
will be backed up by Iran and Israel.
When the smoke clears, the media of Egypt will be just as
tightly controlled as Mubarak ever could have dreamt of.
Let not forget who we are dealing with here.
When the Muslim Brotherhood makes the statement, "we
are a new, more passive, more compassionate organization", that is the equivalent
of the Mob stating they are opening a community center for the good of the
neighborhood.
It's like Putin saying, " I feel your pain"!!!
The problem obviously continues to be, the rest of the
Western world is just too tired or too preoccupied by crisis called the Middle
East to confront what they know is taking place.
The Muslim Brotherhood is the slow cancer that no one pays
attention to until it's too late.
Smiling as he lies to the "Infidels" is a key tool
in Mursi's leadership style.
He is about to use it when he visits the Persians next week.
