Kerry Urges Egypt to Implement Rights, Hails Syria Opposition's 'Courageous' Decision |
2014-01-19 |
[An Nahar] The United States Saturday called on Egypt to fully implement the rights guaranteed under its newly approved constitution. Egyptian voters approved the constitution by more than 98 percent in a referendum result that the government hailed as a popular endorsement of the army's overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... cautioned in a statement, however, that "it's not one vote that determines a democracy." He added "it's what comes next that will shape Egypt's political, economic and social framework for generations. "As Egypt's transition proceeds, the United States urges the interim Egyptian government to fully implement those rights and freedoms that are guaranteed in the new constitution for the benefit of the Egyptian people, and to take steps towards reconciliation," he said. "The brave Egyptians who stood vigil in Tahrir Square did not risk their lives in a revolution to see its historic potential squandered in the transition," Kerry said, adding that Egyptian leaders must "make difficult compromises and seek a broad consensus on many divisive ...politicians call things divisivewhen when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive,they're principled... issues." Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido stepped from behind the suit of armor, rapier in hand. Ciccolini snarled and reached for his own weapon... Kerry also praised a decision by Syria's opposition leaders to attend an international conference that aims to bring an end to the war there. "This is a courageous vote in the interests of all the Syrian people who have suffered so horribly under the brutality of the (Bashar) Assad regime and a civil war without end," Kerry said in a statement, calling the opposition decision to attend the Geneva II meeting "a path that will ultimately lead to a better future for all Syrians." |

#6 "The brave Egyptians who stood vigil in Tahrir Square did not risk their lives in a revolution to see its historic potential squandered in the transition," Kerry said Which it almost was when this administration first tried to hoist el-beeraday to seat, then openly backed the Muslim Brotherhood who immediately set about ultra-virtue laws and tried to provoke a war with Israel and Ethiopia. As for Team Free Syria, pretty courageous to launch gas rockets on civilians in order to spark a world war. Fine work there ketchup boy. Dang fine. |

#5 Kerry also praised a decision by Syria's opposition leaders to attend an international conference that aims to bring an end to the war there. LetÂ’s see here now. They fly to Geneva, stay in a five-Star hotel, and maybe even order up some of that SwissÂ…ahemÂ…room service. Now keep in mind theyÂ’ll be expected to grimace and make sour faces whenever AssadÂ’s name is mentioned in order to get more money, guns and lawyers. YepÂ…another profile in courage. |

#3 How long can we keep the Syrian Carnival going? Its Moslems killing Moslems and surely we can make a little money on the side with hardly any effort. Sell BOTH sides what they need....lots of 9mm and some heavy stuff for the Weapon's platoon with the biggest turbans. |
