Brotherhood's Mursi: We must focus on Palestinians
2012-04-23
Moslem Brüderbund's presidential candidate Mohamed Mursi launches presidential campaign under banner of 'Islam is the Solution'
In the old days that was the sentry password. The proper response is "Twenty-three skidoo!", considered too cool for words.
Mohamed Mursi, the Moslem Brüderbund's new presidential candidate, officially launched his campaign on Saturday, under the banner "Islam is the Solution."
 
Mursi, who was named the movement's candidate after the disqualification of Khairat al-Shater, held a presser and told news hounds that under his regime, Cairo would respect its international treaties.
Hudna style?
Asked whether he would meet with Israeli officials Mursi said: "The president is obligated to express the people's wishes and honor all international agreements, but he cannot be made to execute any externally-dictated policies."
The people wish there was no treaty.
The treaty is an international agreement.
Winners dictate to losers, but Sadat finagled a couple billion dollars a year from the U.S. as a bribe to accept the treaty.
Therefore it's 2:1 for abrogation. By democratic principles, Mr. Mursi has no choice. Q.E.D.
He further stressed the he would lend special priority to the Paleostinian issue.
 
"We intend to make the Paleostinian issue our main issue. It should be like that for whoever is elected as the president of Egypt. We can definitely stand up to the world and say that the Paleostinians have rights," he pledged.
 Will you still care when Egyptians are dying of starvation in the streets of Cairo, while the Gazans get even fatter?
Mursi's main rival in the elections, former Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
 Secretary General Jerry Lewis doppelgänger Amr Moussa
... who was head of the Arab League for approximately two normal lifespans, accomplishing nothing that was obvious to the casual observer ...
, also addressed Israel-Egypt relation Saturday, while touring the Aswan province.
 
Moussa said that under his leadership, "We will demand that the Middle East become a free of nuclear weapons and that that measure will be imposed on Israel before it is imposed on Iran."
You and what army?
Moussa's hard-line politics vis-à-vis Jerusalem are known and he has recently stated that if elected -- he would demand the revision of the Israel-Egypt peace treaty.
And don't forget to pout and stamp your little feet when you do.
