That&#8217;s just tacky. This is Hillary Clinton&#8211;not Bill. She wasn&#8217;t the one involved with Monica. I just think it is tacky and cruel to do that to a wife who has been treated badly by her husband. I am not a fan of Hillary Clinton, but I think that was over the top. Anyway, back to the story.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>But after this year&#8217;s elections, the military council issued a decree stripping the presidency of much of its power. And more than two weeks after Morsy took office, the country remains in the throes of domestic political chaos. The president has no Cabinet and the country has no parliament.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Clinton met with Morsy on Saturday and urged him to assert the &#8220;full authority&#8221; of his office. She stressed that it is up to the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Egyptians\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Egyptians\" rel=\"wikipedia\" target=\"_blank\">Egyptian people<\/a> to shape the country&#8217;s political future, but also said the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"United States\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667 (United%20States)&amp;t=h\" rel=\"geolocation\" target=\"_blank\">United States<\/a> would work &#8220;to support the military&#8217;s return to a purely national security role.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Morsy, the new <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"President of Egypt\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/President_of_Egypt\" rel=\"wikipedia\" target=\"_blank\">President of Egypt<\/a>, resigned from the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Muslim Brotherhood\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ikhwanonline.com\/\" rel=\"homepage\" target=\"_blank\">Muslim Brotherhood<\/a> and its <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Freedom and Justice Party (Egypt)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hurryh.com\/\" rel=\"homepage\" target=\"_blank\">Freedom and Justice Party<\/a> shortly after the results were announced, in an apparent effort to send a message that he will represent all Egyptians. Lifelong members of the Muslim Brotherhood don&#8217;t just resign. This would be like resigning the Mafia (or the CIA)&#8211;it really doesn&#8217;t happen. The goal of the Muslim Brotherhood is the establishment of the worldwide caliphate through social, political, and military action. The Muslim religion includes the practice of Taqiyya, generally described as lying for the sake of Islam&#8211;particularly toward infidels. We need to keep this in mind when dealing with Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/stories\/theyve-been-given-tea-and-a-traditional-bedouin-meal-two-more-americans-kidnapped-in-egypts-sinai-peninsula\/\">The Blaze<\/a>\u00a0reported yesterday that\u00a0the Reverend Michel Louis and a 39-year-old Boston woman <a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/blogs\/headlines\/2012\/07\/two-americans-kidnapped-in-egypt\/\" target=\"_blank\">named Lisa Alphonse<\/a> and a tour guide were kidnapped Friday when an Egyptian Bedouin stopped their bus on a road linking Cairo to Mount Sinai.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/blogs\/headlines\/2012\/07\/two-americans-kidnapped-in-egypt\/\">ABC News<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Jirmy Abu-Masuh, 32, of the Tarbeen tribe, said in an interview that he stopped their tour bus and also kidnapped their 28-year-old tour guide Haytham Ragab as well so he could translate.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Abu-Masuh told <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Associated Press\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ap.org\/\" rel=\"homepage\" target=\"_blank\">The Associated Press<\/a> that the Americans are being treated well \u2014 they\u2019ve been given tea and a traditional Bedouin meal of lamb \u2014 but they won\u2019t be released until his uncle, who is in an Egyptian prison, is released as well.\u00a0He also said that if his uncle is not released, he will abduct more people.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u201cIf my uncle gets 50 years (in prison), they will stay with me for 50 years.
