Clinton Backed Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood Regime
2016-10-14
Talking points show Clinton called Morsi's election "milestone" for Egyptian democracy

#2  The CIA asked the Muslim Brotherhood leaders to open a back channel to al Qaeda “to secure the safe exit of U.S. troops” from Afghanistan.

Additionally, another news outlet, Al-Marshad al Amni, reported that Maj. Gen. Abd-al-Hamid Khayrat, former deputy chief for Egyptian State Security Investigations said the CIA in January 2013 “asked for the help of the MB in Egypt to facilitate… the withdrawal from Afghanistan.” The Muslim Brotherhood agreed to become a “bridge” between the U.S. government and al Qaeda, Khayrat said.

The reports triggered widespread conspiracy theories in post-Morsi Egypt that the CIA was collaborating with Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood to destabilize Egypt.


I'll go with both theories. Shall we call it
'carrot and stick.'

#1  This was the Western political classes' consensus policy.

e.g.:
John McCain and Lindsey Graham openly supported Morsi in 2013.
