Speaking today in the wake of the first round of parliamentary elections, former IAEA chief and top liberal politician Mohamed ElBaradei expressed serious concerns with how poorly his political bloc did in the first round of voting, saying they were “decimated.”
ElBaradei’s bloc came in a distant third in the voting, with the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party winning 36.6 percent of the popular vote and the al-Nour Party, another Islamist faction, netting 24.4 percent. The top liberal bloc, the Egyptian Bloc, scored only 13.4 percent.
ElBaradei placed the blame squarely on the youth, saying they “failed to unify” behind his bloc and warning about the gains of religious elements in the country. The voter turnout was significant, however, with over 60 percent of voters in the nine provinces turning out.
With a political mandate failing to materialize, at least in the first round, ElBaradei says the country is in the hands of the SCAF, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, and expressed hope that the military junta would impose some sort of “consensus” government. It should be noted that in the days leading up to the election, ElBaradei offered to remove himself entirely from the political process if the junta would appoint him as the “salvation” prime minister.
America CIA special Ops, the State Department and are brilliant president and past presidents have the right intel.
They knew that getting rid of Saddaam would turn Iraq into an ally of Iran.
They knew that getting rid of Gaddaffi would turn Libya into an ally of Fundamentalists and bring Sharia
They knew that getting rid of Mubarak would turn Egypt into an ally of Fundamentalists and bring Sharia
We have geniuses working here. Now all they have to do is get rid of Assad and everybody else who stands in the
way of Islamic Fundamentalism.
There is no dumber nation on Earth than the United States.
It's unbelievable how stupid world leaders are.
But the stupidest of the stupid are our American Leaders.
Get rid of them all.
LOL, way to out yourself, ElBaradei ~ you can tell this filthy fcuk-pig is well trained in US-style hypocrisy ~ soon as the little people 'fail' to vote as instructed for this professional Stooge of Warshington, all his pious blather about 'Democracy' goes out the window and he's begging for the corrupt military dictatorship to impose him as the new puppet Pharaoh eager to do the diktat of Uncle Sam despite the will of the People…
Let's hope the Egyptian Revolution will hold this POS in equal contempt and not forget to take him out along with all the other trash it must deal with!
Unity and Victory to the Revolution! Down with all Yanki-stooge Fakers!
Look Stu the Americans don't even qualify to be judged as stupid or not stupid. They have resigned themselves long ago to following anything dished out to them under the guise of pro Israel. Its the pro Israeli's who have got stupid.
Example a couple of decades ago Gadaffi was antagonistic towards Israel. The pro israeli die hards never forgot this and hence American policy was steered towards removing Gadaffi and accusing him of false terrorist operations. He went for no other reason. The crazy part was that Gadaffi's son was partner to an Israeli woman.
