Foreign Policy: In
the latest twist in our upside-down war on terror, President Obama
withdraws troops fighting terrorists in Afghanistan and sends others to
Egypt to protect a regime that supports terrorists.
According
to reports, the commander-in-chief is deploying a riot-control unit
from Fort Hood to Egypt to help the Islamofascist regime there repel its
own citizens protesting increasing human-rights violations.
More
than 400 Army soldiers from the Texas base will soon man posts
throughout Egypt as part of a nine-month "peacekeeping mission." They've been trained to respond to threats, including protests and riots.
"Soldiers
encountered Molotov cocktails and other dangerous items in the
training," according to the local TV news station that broke the story
out of Killeen, Texas.
The
assignment comes ahead of a planned June 30 showdown between Islamists
led by Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and secularists opposed to his
Islamofascist crackdown.
As
more and more Egyptians have called for toppling the regime on its
first anniversary in power, U.S. Ambassador Anne Patterson has appealed
for calm. "We oppose chaos," she pleaded with protesters. "Chaos is a
breeding ground for instability."
Yes,
better to protect radical strongmen like Morsi, a former Muslim
Brotherhood leader whom the Obama administration helped bring to power.
As we warned, Morsi has stacked Egypt's courts with mullahs and
unleashed religious police enforcing austere Shariah law.
Under
his burgeoning theocracy, the media and the arts have been censored,
churches have been burned and women have been bullied into covering
their heads and bodies with Islamic garb, a la Afghanistan.
Millions
have signed petitions demanding Morsi step down over the growing human
rights violations. Yet Morsi and his thugs are digging in their heels
and now they'll have, of all things, American reinforcements.
This
is the same regime that includes other Muslim Brotherhood leaders who
have called the U.S. "the enemy" and called for jihad against American
troops. This is the same Muslim Brotherhood that's the granddaddy of all
major terrorist groups — including Hamas and al-Qaida, our sworn enemy.
Morsi
has forged ties with Hamas and Hezbollah. Recently, he named as
governor of Luxor a member of an Islamist group whose terrorists
massacred 58 foreign tourists in the resort town in 1997.
Despite all this, the Obama administration is offering him our troops — along with billions in military aid.
Adding
insult to injury, Obama's shipping out GIs from the same Army base shot
up by a Muslim terrorist he refuses to call a terrorist — and one who
got the OK for his jihadi attack from an al-Qaida cleric tied to the
Muslim Brotherhood.
Worse,
Obama refuses to recognize the victims of the Fort Hood attack as
casualties of war and compensate them accordingly. In our president's
see-no-Islamic-evil mind, they are mere employees caught up in a case of
"workplace violence."
From
the start of his administration, this president has turned a blind eye
to the threat from Islamic terror. First he ordered Gitmo closed. Then
he scrubbed jihad from counterterrorism training manuals.
Now
he's surrendering to the Taliban and propping up a pro-jihad regime in
Egypt. We're left wondering about his commitment to winning the war and
protecting the country.
