Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, November 25, 2011, 11:44 AM
The new prime minister of Egypt just claimed the military has given him greater powers than his predecessor Hosni Mubarak.
Kamal el-Ganzouri was appointed by the military council yesterday.
USA Today reported:
Egypt’s new prime minister said the military has given him greater powers than his predecessor.
Kamal el-Ganzouri said Friday that military ruler Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi has no intention of staying in power and he would not have accepted the job if that was the case.
In a televised new conference, the 78-year-old prime minister looked uncomfortable, grasping for words and repeatedly pausing.

Many of the prisoners are suffering torture and systematic mistreatment while being held in private jails outside the control of the country’s new government.”

Easy to figure out why representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood have been meeting with Obama. This is all done on purpose, American interests be damned.

The only monies the Middle East generates is through oil and dates. Egypt is going to go belly up, because there will be no tourism. People are going to starve and riot. This is what you get when you follow Islam.

This is all part of plan A. under the line the useful idiots create chaos and anarchy. When the time is right as most are dead we will come in with part 2 of the plan that is 80 years in the making.
Mubarak was ousted by the army and now this guy is hand picked to be the puppet of that army. Sure he has more power than Mubarak but that is only because the army gave it to him and can take it away over night. All part of someones plan and others don’t like that plan thus chaos and anarchy.
