#1 "begin the process of reconciliation and move towards an open democracy"

This is the same Lindsey Graham who wishes there was a way to 'hold people accountable' for speech that violates Sharia law. He was talking about non-Muslim US citizens in the US.

He's for 'open democracy' when temporary 'open democracy' is advantageous to islamofascists.

But when 'open democracy' displeases islamofascists he's against it.

Helping islamofascists gain power abroad and importing alien tyranny into Western nations, is this the new neo-con doctrine?

#3 That said, he added, the United States will only be able to support a democratic Egyptian government.

#5 How about that movie maker being held in California Senators? You know the one used by the feds as a scapegoat for Benghazi.

#6 Egyptian Govt: McCain 'persona non grata, an unwelcome person'
The Egyptian Cabinet took offense to comments Senator John McCain (R - AZ) made to the Washington Post about his advice to the new government of Egypt about releasing Muslim Brotherhood prisoners.

#7 Actually, I understood that Saudi Arabia et alia were rather upset at the current US administration for its actions in Egypt, which is why they offered to make up (and then some) any shortfall in US aid caused by the coup.

#8 "they offered to make up (and then some) any shortfall in US aid caused by the coup"

About f*king time. Why should we keep forking over to people who will hate us no matter what when the Saudis take our money and never give any to other goddam moslems (unless they're perpetrating terrorist activities against the infidels)?

Get off your goddam gold toilets, Saudi, and support your co-religionists.

I'm looking forward to the day the world (or at least the West) doesn't need M.E. oil, etc. - I want to watch what they do when they have to go back to being goatherds, like their patriarch Ibin Saud was. >:-(
