7/5/13, "Obama Call for Muslim Brotherhood Role Overtaken in Egypt," Bloomberg, by Nicole Gaouette & John Walcott
"The Obama administration’s call for
an “inclusive” political process in Egypt with a role for the
Muslim Brotherhood has been overshadowed by deadly clashes
between security forces and supporters of the Islamist group.
Violent protests yesterday in Cairo and elsewhere over the
military’s ouster of President Mohamed Mursi raised doubts about
prospects for an eventual accommodation that would allow the
Brotherhood that supports him to compete in new elections....
While President Barack Obama’s administration has stopped
short of condemning the July 3 military takeover, it has called
on Egyptian leaders to pursue “a transparent political process
that is inclusive of all parties and groups,” including
“avoiding any arbitrary arrests of Mursi and his supporters,”
Bernadette Meehan, a spokeswoman for the National Security
Council, said July 4 in a statement....
Among American companies benefiting from the military aid
are General Dynamics Corp. (GD), which sells M1A1 tanks that are
assembled in Egypt, and Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT), which provides
F-16 jets."...via Drudge
