Top Democrat Rejects Winners of Egyptian Election as “Not a Choice”

So now they’re admitting it: the US won’t accept the Muslim Brotherhood to rule Egypt – even though they won the elections:

Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., said he supports the president’s approach.

“These are very, very difficult choices,” said Engel, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “I’m very unhappy, obviously, with the crackdown. But we essentially have two choices in Egypt. And that’s a military government, which hopefully will transition as quickly as possible to civilian government, or the Muslim Brotherhood. I don’t think the Muslim Brotherhood is a choice.”

  • “I don’t think the Muslim Brotherhood is a choice.” Choice for who, Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y? Since when do you have a choice in what some other foreign nation’s people elect or fight about amongst themselves? Whoops! – I think I get it – it allows you to step away from your real job, huh?
