Valin Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Les Grossman NEW OFFICIAL CHANNEL: http://youtu.be/QwU_gHbTfe8 Published on Mar 9, 2015 Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi sat down with Fox News’ Bret Baier for an exclusive interview on the growing threat of Islamic State militants in his country. The interview covers a range of issues, including his views of American leadership in the region. Asked by Baier what his views of U.S. leadership are, el-Sisi paused and said -- "difficult questions." Egypt has taken on a bigger role in the fight against ISIS after the group's militants last month beheaded 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians. El-Sisi's military has launched strikes against ISIS in Libya, while other Arab nations fight as part of the U.S.-led coalition striking targets in Iraq and Syria.

Draggingtree Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Obama Gives Sisi the Netanyahu TreatmentJonathan S. Tobin | @tobincommentary03.11.2015 - 8:15 PM In a Middle East where Islamist terror groups and the Iranian regime and its allies have been on the offensive in recent years, the one bright spot for the West in the region (other, that is, than Israel) is the way Egypt has returned to its old role as a bulwark of moderation and opposition to extremism. The current government led by former general Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has clamped down on Hamas terrorists and has been willing to deploy its armed forces to fight ISIS in Libya while also clamping down on a Muslim Brotherhood movement that seeks to transform Egypt into another Islamist state. Yet despite this, the Obama administration is unhappy with Egypt. Much to Cairo’s consternation, the United States is squeezing its government on the military aid it needs to fight ISIS in Libya and Sinai terrorists. As the Israeli government has already learned to its sorrow, the Egyptians now understand that being an ally of the United States is a lot less comfortable position than to be a foe like Iran. https://www.commentarymagazine.com/2015/03/11/obama-gives-sisi-the-netanyahu-treatment-egypt-iran/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
