    Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood rejects US pressure

    CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood is throwing its weight behind the country's military-backed government in an escalating dispute with the U.S. over pro-democracy groups Egypt accuses of seeking to foment protests against the country's military rulers.

    The group praised in a statement Wednesday what it called the government's "nationalist" position on the conflict over the role of the groups in Egypt's politics.

    The saga has turned into one of the worst quarrels between Egypt and the U.S. since Hosni Mubarak's ouster.

    The government referred 43 employees of various groups, including 16 Americans, to a criminal court for trial.

    The U.S. threatened to cut off hundreds of millions in aid.

    The Brotherhood, which controls a majority in parliament, said it rejects such U.S. pressure.

      Good, this is the smack in the face that the US citizen need's right now. Now you see what democracy means to a muslim. Now you can see their brand of peace and freedom. This is what happened in Bosnia only it was with billary and NATO. Only this time it blew up in the clowns face.

      Obama sent General Dempsey (political hack in uniform) to put the lid on this. Thank goodness he failed. The U.S. public needs to see what is in those files and the extent to which Obama has been meddling in the M.E. Arab Spring my arse. Regime change.

      Since when is the Brotherhood backing the army in Egypt ? Last news was that the Brotherhood demanded that the army hand over the reins of government to them !

      Even though he KNOWS that we have a humongous problem with Americas' Obama just agreed to give them ( very much more likely than not Egypts' current leadership (legal or illegal) are also enemies of America ) $800 MILLION for "economic" aid+ the 1.3 BILLION in military aid after he just CUT Americas' military budget so much that we would be reduced to equal China and Russia will likely become the power leader. Another one of agenda of his to cut our nuclear power, ( on the chance) that other countries will do the same.

        Please check your syntax. Your rant makes no sense at all. What are you trying to say?
      • Jack 3 mths ago
        The $800,000,000 is proposed in his budget. Doubt it happens.
    • lovemexfood  •  3 mths ago
      We should tell the Egyptians that not only will we withhold the aid from them, but we will give it to Israel to buy more weapons from us.

      Obama keeps giving our hard earned money away to his muslim friends all this while he is doing his best to distroy the christian church here in america ...what a #$%$
    • Preybrother  •  3 mths ago
      Why should the Egyptian Brotherhood listen now because Obama and Hillary have already given the millions to win elections. Sooo now they don't need us any more.

      Here again before all this happened Glenn Beck said it would happen exactly like it is happening. It was the only time I listen to his program and son of a gun he was right on. Hmmmm! what a go Obama there is your forgein policy in action again!
      • Dodge 3 mths ago
        If you listen to Glenn Beck, you are an idiot. Not even Faux News could stand his lies anymore.
      • J B 3 mths ago

        are you really saying that they're actually our 51st state?? i'm not so sure...
    • RobertP  •  Bridgeport, Connecticut  •  3 mths ago
      Oh well, maybe we should have supported our ally, Mubarak instead of betraying him. No one could see this coming? This just proves that the US has absolutely no understanding of Middle Eastern mentality or diplomacy.

      Why should the Bros. care? They still have all the resources of Egypt to rape and pillage before they can get to China's money (oops I mean our money).
    • Jimbob  •  3 mths ago
      This is just a plow by the brotherhood to draw attention away from them. And our Dictator wants to send 800 billion of the taxpayer’s money to his brothers in Egypt.
    • InfidelHere  •  3 mths ago
      These freakin' MUSLIMS will gladly take our $$BILLIONS$$ for a "false" peace with these animals. This tactic (used by their terrorist pedophile prophet muhammad) is called in arabic an "Hudna". In Islam, you are allowed to make a "false" peace with your enemies so that you buy time to re-arm and re-supply until you are strong enough to fight on. NEVER, EVER trust the cult ideology called ISLAM...EVER!!

      before all of this is over with the usa is going to get kicked out of Egypt here soon
      • henry 3 mths ago
        but we will still send them money and they will still accept our money
    • Douglas  •  3 mths ago
      It would be nice if the US did follow through with their threat, but we all know Obama would never do that to his muslim brothers. Why do we continue to give money to people that hate us and want us dead.
    • Cory  •  Bedford, Wyoming  •  3 mths ago
      So, if Egypt does not need our money.....we DO! Stop sending it to them. Use it here at home. They will only use it to take more American hostages, and spill American blood.
      BAD investment!
