The radical Muslim Brotherhood announced moments ago that they will support Mohamed ElBaradei to negotiate with the government.
Reuters reported:
Egyptian opposition forces have agreed to support opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei to negotiate with the government, a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood said on Sunday.
“Political groups support ElBaradei to negotiate with the regime,” Essam el-Eryan told Al Jazeera television.
Al Arabiya television carried the same report on screen but did not attribute it directly to Eryan.
ElBaradei, the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, came back to Egypt on Thursday night, just in time for the “Day of Anger” protests which have left President Hosni Mubarak clinging to power with the army in the streets. ARAB TV CHANNELS QUOTES EGYPT’S BROTHERHOOD FIGURE ESSAM EL-ERYAN SUPPORTING ELBARADEI TO “NEGOTIATE WITH REGIME”
El-Baradei has a long history with the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Daily Beast reported:
Egypt’s new opposition leader, former International Atomic Energy Agency head Mohamed ElBaradei, has formed a loose alliance with the Brotherhood because he knows it is the only opposition group that can mobilize masses of Egyptians, especially the poor. He says he can work with it to change Egypt. Many scholars of political Islam also judge the Brotherhood is the most reasonable face of Islamic politics in the Arab world today. Skeptics fear ElBaradei will be swept along by more radical forces.
More… El-Baradei says in CNN interview Mubarak must leave “today” to make way for unity government. (Twitter)
Still More… Caroline Glick wrote this on Elbaradei:
As IAEA head, Elbaradei shielded Iran’s nuclear weapons program from the Security Council. He repeatedly ignored evidence indicating that Iran’s nuclear program was a military program rather than a civilian energy program. When the evidence became too glaring to ignore, Elbaradei continued to lobby against significant UN Security Council sanctions or other actions against Iran and obscenely equated Israel’s purported nuclear program to Iran’s… Elbaradei’s support for the Iranian ayatollahs is matched by his support for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Here comes the $6 per gallon of gasoline the Democrats so desperately want. Instead of opening up drilling here, they will be promoting the “green” shiite even more. But before they do that, they’ll be demanding money from the oil companies. We’re in for a rough road ahead folks.

Do you hear that sucking sound? It’s the power vacuum in Egypt and it looks like the Muslim Brotherhood is ready to fill it. God save the poor people of Egypt.

One military leader just announced they wouldn’t go against the people.

Obama has no idea what to do except go to his daughter’s basketball game while the grown ups held forth without him. No leadership in America. The muzzies see the weakness and they will now take their shot. Brace for impact!
cp commented:
this is really tricky and troubling. is it democracy taking shape or is it jihad taking shape. it can swing either ways. it will depend on which side is more determined and organized perhaps. i find it hard to discern or comment until someone enlighten me a bit more about the groups that are organizing these riots. can only pray.

ElBaradei has lived outside the country for years while he jetted around the world as one of the hlighest-paid United Nothings bureaucrats of all time, and shilled for Iran. Why on earth wd anyone be suspicious that he cd control the Muslim Brotherhood once the real Egyptian govt was gone?
Yes, this is indeed a VERY dangerous situation, as those of us who studied Bolshevism and Fascism recognize it instantly as the classic “revolutionary situation.” The next step here is a military govt (with or without Mubarak), which may last as short as a day, and then the revolutionaries (Muslim Brotherhood) will oust THEM.
BTW, technically Mubarak’s IS ALREADY a military govt, he’s ruled under “emergency decrees” that have been in place since Sadat’s assassination in 1981. And Sadat inherited a military govt from Nasser, who had executed a coup in 1952. At least Nasser put in place a mechanism for succession, i.e., a vice-presidency, by which both Sadat and Mubarak came to power. But Mubarak has not done this.
Yes, God help the people of Egypt, esp. the 80% who do NOT like the Muslim Brothers.
RedBeard commented:
So El Baradei is still a blabbering fool, as always. From the quoted text: “He says he can work with it [Muslim Brotherhood thugs] to change Egypt.” Exactly what was said by top Germans during the early 1930s, about the rising Nazi Party. That didn’t exactly work out well, now did it?

The terrorist group Muslim Brotherhood ‘is the most reasonable’ form of political Islam? Thanks for telling us that there are no such things as moderate muslims, if the Muslim Brotherhood is your touchstone for ‘reasonableness’. The cover has come off. I’d rather support ‘autocratic’ Mubarek, than jihadi ElBareidi and his islamist Muslim Brotherhood puppeteers.
Tjexcite commented:
For anyone to rule with tyranny one needs an army. The Egyptian army does not seem to keen on killing people in the streets as a mean to force the people into submission now that they did not start that way. Iran has the ruthless revolutionary guard and unless they send their members to Egypt as a invading army to replace the current army things will not go as bad as it seems it will. It will be unlikely because that will not go over well for all involved there. It hard to control the 20 million people in Cairo if some group did something that the mob did not like.

thanks bg.
yes, when the muslim brotherhood is involved in the mobilization of the citizens, in my mind, the red flags goes up! could it be another modus operandi taken from Iran conveniently using the dis satisfied citizens to achieve their religious ambitions.
chillguy33 commented:
WTF. “Progressives” always held out El Baradei as an “impartial” observer.
Obama needs to get out, today.

What? After all those news reports in the lamestream media about how the Muslim Brotherhood was waiting on the sidelines?

It now turns out that in 2009, the Egyptian daily Almasry Alyoum reported that President Obama secretly met with representatives of the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood, the Hamas and Al Qaeda ally that has been barred by the US and put on the terror watch list by the Bush administration.

Mohamed ElBaradei is already being touted as a new leader for Egypt.
ElBaradei is a trustee of theInternational Crisis Group.
Another board member of thisgroup is Zbigniew Brzezinski.
George Soros sits on the executive committee.

El Baradei was talking like the new Dictator of Egypt the moment he stepped off the plane. The rabble is being roused professionally by the Islamo satanist cult leaders .
crosspatch commented:
Yup, this is the man that enabled the Iranian nuclear program. Eqypt would be a major addition to Iran’s harem. Eqypt is the only Arab country besides Iran that produces their own main battle tank.
NOW is the moment to strike Iran but this President will engage in the Carter doctrine of “run away fast and do nothing”.

EXCUSE ME! How is THIS a STUNNER????????????
Isn’t ElBaradei a full-fledged way-out-on-a-limb islamic terrorist loving supporter who works to enable a nuclear war started by the most vicious of radical muslim regimes????
DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes he is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With influence with the UN!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is stunning, here??????????????
Western ability to stare straight into Reality and Fail to Comprehend what they are looking at!!!!!!!!!!
No – that is staidly predictable as well.
Rose commented:
El Baradei is out on the streets WITH the protesters. Doesn’t SPEAK FOR THEM???????????
Too busy forming his new DICTATORSHIP that is PRE-APPROVED by the UN!
Making sure all the $$$Billions from foreign countries like AMERICA keep rolling in, without a blip on the screen.
