Carolyn...Has there ever been anyone in US history who has done this much damage to America in so short a time frame as obama? Report: Suez Canal to be off-limits to U.S.? Access uncertain if Muslim Brotherhood takes power November 14, 2011 wnd.com WASHINGTON – The United States could be shut out of the Suez Canal if the Muslim Brotherhood takes over the Egyptian government and the U.S. Congress, as expected, cuts off the $1.3 billion in military aid Egypt gets each year, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin. The assessment in a report published by the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute added that U.S. aid also would be cut off if the military remains in power in Egypt. The study, titled "Presidential Succession Scenarios in Egypt and Their Impact on U.S.-Egyptian Strategic Relations," was drawn up prior to the ouster of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in February. It left little doubt that U.S. policymakers would cut off existing military assistance if the Brotherhood were to take power. While at the time the report's assessment was regarded as a "worst case scenario," the ouster of Mubarak has raised the prominence of the Brotherhood, with the military continuing to retain power despite its promise of elections weeks ago. The elections for a new parliament and president now have been postponed until next year. As G2Bulletin recently reported, however, a call in emerging for a new revolution in Egypt to either force the military to live up to its promise of a change in the constitution and new parliamentary and presidential elections, or be forced out. The military, however, may have other plans, as it is becoming increasingly apparent that the head of the interim governing council, the 24-member Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, could also run for president. Around Cairo, according to sources, SCAF chief Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, who is acting as the de facto head of state, is putting up posters that urge people to vote for him for president. The study's conclusions, which closely reflect current events in Egypt, pose a potentially serious challenge to U.S.-Egyptian strategic ties.
