Obama Releases First Public Statement On Egypt

Tyler Durden's picture




 

From President Obama:

As I have said since the Egyptian revolution, the United States supports a set of core principles, including opposition to violence, protection of universal human rights, and reform that meets the legitimate aspirations of the people. The United States does not support particular individuals or political parties, but we are committed to the democratic process and respect for the rule of law. Since the current unrest in Egypt began, we have called on all parties to work together to address the legitimate grievances of the Egyptian people, in accordance with the democratic process, and without recourse to violence or the use of force.

The United States is monitoring the very fluid situation in Egypt, and we believe that ultimately the future of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people. Nevertheless, we are deeply concerned by the decision of the Egyptian Armed Forces to remove President Morsy and suspend the Egyptian constitution. I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsy and his supporters. Given today’s developments, I have also directed the relevant departments and agencies to review the implications under U.S. law for our assistance to the government of Egypt.

The United States continues to believe firmly that the best foundation for lasting stability in Egypt is a democratic political order with participation from all sides and all political parties – secular and religious, civilian and military. During this uncertain period, we expect the military to ensure that the rights of all Egyptian men and women are protected, including the right to peaceful assembly, due process, and free and fair trials in civilian courts. Moreover, the goal of any political process should be a government that respects the rights of all people, majority and minority; that institutionalizes the checks and balances upon which democracy depends; and that places the interests of the people above party or faction. The voices of all those who have protested peacefully must be heard – including those who welcomed today’s developments, and those who have supported President Morsy. In the interim, I urge all sides to avoid violence and come together to ensure the lasting restoration of Egypt’s democracy.

No transition to democracy comes without difficulty, but in the end it must stay true to the will of the people. An honest, capable and representative government is what ordinary Egyptians seek and what they deserve. The longstanding partnership between the United States and Egypt is based on shared interests and values, and we will continue to work with the Egyptian people to ensure that Egypt’s transition to democracy succeeds.

Obama, in Situation Room, meets with national security team to discuss situation in Egypt, via NB

 

* * *

 

Meanwhile, in simpler days:

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived in Egypt on Saturday for meetings with its newly elected Islamist president and the chief of its still-dominant military council, declaring that the United States “supports the full transition to civilian rule with all that entails.”

 

But after weeks of internal debate across the Obama administration over how to respond to the ongoing struggle between the president and the generals, Mrs. Clinton touched on it only lightly, saying she looked forward to working “to support the military’s return to a purely national security role.”

 

State Department officials said the meeting itself sent a historic message. Seated in an ornate room in the presidential palace, Mrs. Clinton smiled for cameras and traded pleasantries with President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist jailed more than once by the American-backed autocracy overthrown 18 months ago. She became the highest ranking United States official to meet Mr. Morsi since he was sworn in two weeks ago as Egypt’s first democratically elected president.

 

* * *

 

The generals, who seized power last year after the ouster of the strongman Hosni Mubarak, have repeatedly rebuffed American pressure. The new president, Mr. Morsi, and the other leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood still harbor deep doubts about Washington’s agenda and have repeatedly surprised American officials in Washington with the accelerating pace of their moves to take power.

 

Implausibly, some of the Brotherhood’s secular opponents have even accused the United States of conspiring with the Islamists to push them to power. By nightfall Saturday, hundreds of protesters had gathered outside Mrs. Clinton’s hotel to protest against the claimed conspiracy. Using a transliteration of the Arabic word for the Brotherhood, one sign read: “If you like the Ikhwan, take them with you!”

 

“In some ways, all the talk in Washington about what to do in Egypt is incredibly inefficient,” said Peter Mandaville, a political scientist at George Mason University who until recently advised the State Department on Islamist politics in the region. “At a time of virtually zero U.S. influence, we don’t need to waste so much time figuring out how to try to get the Egyptian people to like us.”

 

The Muslim Brotherhood and President Morsi, meanwhile, remain deeply wary of Washington’s goals even after a year of mutual outreach, diplomats say, while Brotherhood leaders appear still convinced American policy makers see Egypt exclusively through the prism of Israel’s security.

 

* * *

 

“Every bone in the body of the U.S. foreign policy establishment is going to feel more comfortable with the idea that there is still a strong military looking over these guys,” said Mr. Mandaville, the former State Department adviser, “and looking out for U.S. interests in Egypt and the region.”

The revolt in Egypt is an organically driven people-power movement to oust a dictator, restore universal freedoms, and wrestle the country free from the clutches of the US military-industrial complex, BUT (emphasis mine) the man now being positioned to form a new government is a pied piper working for the very same globalists and NGO’s that autocrat leader Hosni Mubarak has dutifully served for nearly 30 years...

Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies

SUBJECT:      Transparency and Open Government

My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government.  We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.

Government should be transparent.  Transparency promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their Government is doing.  Information maintained by the Federal Government is a national asset. My Administration will take appropriate action, consistent with law and policy, to disclose information rapidly in forms that the public can readily find and use. Executive departments and agencies should harness new technologies to put information about their operations and decisions online and readily available to the public. Executive departments and agencies should also solicit public feedback to identify information of greatest use to the public.

Government should be participatory. Public engagement enhances the Government's effectiveness and improves the quality of its decisions. Knowledge is widely dispersed in society, and public officials benefit from having access to that dispersed knowledge. Executive departments and agencies should offer Americans increased opportunities to participate in policymaking and to provide their Government with the benefits of their collective expertise and information. Executive departments and agencies should also solicit public input on how we can increase and improve opportunities for public participation in Government.

Government should be collaborative.  Collaboration actively engages Americans in the work of their Government. Executive departments and agencies should use innovative tools, methods, and systems to cooperateamong themselves, across all levels of Government, and with nonprofit organizations, businesses, and individuals in the private sector.  Executive departments and agencies should solicit public feedback to assess and improve their level of collaboration and to identify new opportunities for cooperation.

I direct the Chief Technology Officer, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Administrator of General Services, to coordinate the development by appropriate executive departments and agencies, within 120 days, of recommendations for an Open Government Directive, to be issued by the Director of OMB, that instructs executive departments and agencies to take specific actions implementing the principles set forth in this memorandum. The independent agencies should comply with the Open Government Directive.

This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by a party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

This memorandum shall be published in the Federal Register.

In the interest of transparency and open gubamint, they've tried to find the records but you must admit, it is all so very confusing for anybody who is feeling like nobody loves him anymore, anyhow.  I wonder if granny always looks mad, too?

That's what  I was talking about. Obama forgave a billion PLUS gave a couple billion since which is where the following came from...

I have also directed the relevant departments and agencies to review the implications under U.S. law for our assistance to the government of Egypt.

Not only a multi billion dollar complete loss for the US citizens who got 0 cents on the dollar but an ENTIRE COUNTRY now gripped in total chaos, where according to some news sources mass rapes are occuring in conjuction with hundreds being killed and many more injured.

Why?

Obama's foreign policy. Which also includes spying on our allies.

Is there a Nobel Prize he can win for this?

Everyone from Sachs to Morsi to Paaakeestan can line up for US taxpayer money. Costs our leaders nothing and Bennie B. covers the bets.

The United States does support particular individuals or political parties ESPECIALLY AL CAI DA AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, but we  NOT are committed to the democratic process and HAVE NO respect for the rule of law.

The Internationale, George Soros old nazi, the Trilateral Commission...just pooped in their pants when the Egyptian military just said NO, and declared that all groups must be included in Egypt...not just the islamofascists, pets of the CIA, who lied to win their election, and then betrayed most Egyptians.

Very uncomfortable for O'bomba et al to see that a democratically elected  politician (as Hitler was) can be removed by a vibrant democracy: millions of Egyptians on the streets, the world's biggest protest ever...and the military only intervened when Morsi/O'bomba refused to compromise with the people, the majority.

They don't want to bomb the USA, they just want the fucking stupid to stop.

Which means my uber-liberal buds who voted for him because it was time to have a black man (notice the man) president are full of it.
The press who'd called Slick Wille our first black president are likewise full of it because even tho they've reneged on the first/second thing for Slick, Obie is not really our first, then.
He ironically really is a minority, in the strictest sense.
He claims "that" heritage. Delusional or what, I care not.
The whole "black" community however they describe themselves and whomever wishes to be counted therein is delusional.

No. Stay for the next chaper called people vs bureaucrats.

The high command of the Egyptian military are closest to their peers in Russia and Britain who vehemently disagree with O'bomba/Cameron/Mursi arming islamists in any country - Syria being the latest example.

O'bomba and Mursi are being taught realpolitik. Check mate.

Millions of Egyptians protested on the streets - the biggest public protest ever seen in the world, ever.

A good military person pledges allegiance to the people, not a government, and least of all a bureaucrat.

The Egyptian military has tried to reason with Mursi for months, tried to reconcile his autocratic ways with the dissenters. But in true islamofascist style, he refused to be reasonable. 

A professional soldier pledges allegiance to the people who vote in governments, and that's ok...until governments become thugs, killing machines, turning their guns on the people.
