What a laugh. I suppose you think it is total coincidence that Bush promoted his "Freedom Agenda", that the Bush Administration clearly enunciated a policy to promote freedom and ACTED ON IT, THEN a year after Obama comes into office he totally screws up one uprising after another resulting in chaos, and NOW you want to "credit" Obama with his successes? Obama wasted the hard work of the previous administration. Squandered it with a weak, timid policy resulting from Obama's lack of knowledge and experience.

Hundreds of Men Attack & Grope Egyptian Women Protesting Sexual Harrassment

Message #644763 from tejek at 2/6/2012 6:54:01 PM

Dude, who do you think is the guiding force behind the Arab Spring?

....
Hundreds of men attacked and groped a group of 50 women protesting sexual violence against women in Tahrir Square.
Ahram.com reported:

Hundreds of men assaulted women holding a march demanding an end to sexual harassment, with the attackers overwhelming the male guardians and groping and molesting several of the female marchers in Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

A mob of hundreds of men have assaulted women holding a march demanding an end to sexual harassment, with the attackers overwhelming the male guardians and groping and molesting several of the female marchers in Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

.....
Earlier in the week, an Associated Press reporter witnessed around 200 men assault a woman who eventually fainted before men trying to help could reach her.

Friday’s march was called to demand an end to sexual assaults. Around 50 women participated, surrounded by a larger group of male supporters who joined hands to form a protective ring around them. The protesters carried posters saying, “The people want to cut the hand of the sexual harasser,” and chanted, “The Egyptian girl says it loudly, harassment is barbaric.”

After the marchers entered a crowded corner of the square, a group of men waded into the group of women, heckling them and groping them. The male supporters tried to fend them off, and it turned into a melee involving a mob of hundreds.

Egypt’s President Morsi Seizes Dictatorial Power November 23, 2012 \| Posted by Doug Johnson With a truce in the Gaza conflict freshly signed, President Mohamed Morsi gave himself supreme authority in Egypt, setting the fledgling democracy back to the Mubarak era. From The New York Times. CAIRO — With a constitutional assembly on the brink of collapse and protesters battling the police in the streets over the slow pace of change, President Mohamed Morsi issued a decree on Thursday granting himself broad powers above any court as the guardian of Egypt’s revolution, and used his new authority order the retrial of Hosni Mubarak. Mr. Morsi, an Islamist and Egypt’s first elected president, portrayed his decree as an attempt to fulfill popular demands for justice and protect the transition to a constitutional democracy. But the unexpected breadth of the powers he seized raised immediate fears that he might become a new strongman. Seldom in history has a postrevolutionary leader amassed so much personal power only to relinquish it swiftly. “An absolute presidential tyranny,” Amr Hamzawy, a liberal member of the dissolved Parliament and prominent political scientist, wrote in an online commentary. “Egypt is facing a horrifying coup against legitimacy and the rule of law and a complete assassination of the democratic transition.” Mr. Morsi issued the decree at a high point in his five-month-old presidency, when he was basking in praise from the White House and around the world for his central role in negotiating a cease-fire that the previous night had stopped the fighting in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas. The Obama administration helped Morsi out by making him central to the Gaza truce and heaping praise on him. They have yet to comment on this new development except to say that they are monitoring the situation… wizbangblog.com Message #644763 from tejek at 2/6/2012 6:54:01 PM Dude, who do you think is the guiding force behind the Arab Spring?

Message 27931944 Yep, Obama owns the Muslim Brotherhood takeover just as Carter owns the mullahs takeover in Iran.

A look at powers decreed by Egypt's president AP) — Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi issued decrees giving himself broad powers and effectively neutering the judiciary. Morsi, an Islamist hailing from the Muslim Brotherhood, defends the step as necessary to clear obstacles holding up Egypt’s transition, particularly from judges who could have disbanded a controversial assembly writing the constitution or overturned his decisions. Critics say Morsi, who already holds both executive and legislative powers, is setting himself up as a new dictator. Here is a look at the main points of his decrees: - All laws and decisions by the president are final, cannot be appealed, overturned or halted by the courts or other bodies. This applies to decisions he has made since taking office in June and any he makes until a new constitution is approved and a new parliament is elected, expected in the spring at the earliest. - No judicial body can dissolve the upper house of parliament or the assembly writing the new constitution. Both are dominated by the Brotherhood and other Islamists and several cases demanding their disbanding were before the courts, which previously dissolved the lower house of parliament. - The president can take any steps or measures necessary to prevent threats to “the revolution, the life of the nation or national unity and security” or to the functioning of state institutions. - A new judiciary body of “protection of the revolution” is created to reopen investigations, prosecutions and trials of former regime officials, including ousted President Hosni Mubarak, for the killing of protesters during last year’s uprising. Other police officers accused of killings, however, will not be retried. - The controversial prosecutor general, a Mubarak appointee seen by many as lax in pursuing former regime figures, was removed from his post. hosted.ap.org Message #644763 from tejek at 2/6/2012 6:54:01 PM Dude, who do you think is the guiding force behind the Arab Spring?

He owns the new Pharoah, worse than the old Pharoah, just like Carter will forever own putting the Khomieniists in power. Don't know why Carter doesn't brag about being the guiding force behind the Iranian revolution.
