In major reversal, Muslim Brotherhood will vie for Egypt's presidency

The Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group, could end up in control of all three branches of Egypt's new government.?

The Muslim Brotherhood has nominated its deputy leader as a candidate in Egypt?s presidential elections, in a reversal that upends the race for Egypt?s first post-revolution leader and could leave the Islamist group in control of all branches of Egypt?s new government.

Skip to next paragraph

The decision to field Khairat El Shater, a wealthy businessman who has served mostly behind the scenes, came after nearly a year in which the Muslim Brotherhood said it would not contest the presidential elections so as not to provoke fear of Islamic rule in Egypt. But in a press conference Saturday night at their new headquarters, Brotherhood leaders said they found it necessary to change course because the transition to democracy is under threat, and the group was stymied in parliament.

"We have chosen the path of the presidency not because we are greedy for power but because we have a majority in parliament which is unable to fulfill its duties," said Mohamed Morsy, head of the Brotherhood?s Freedom and Justice Party. Mahmoud Hussein, the group?s secretary general, cited attempts to ?abort the revolution.?

The move is the Brotherhood?s trump card in a recently escalating battle for power with the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), the military council currently ruling Egypt, say analysts. But it could cause a backlash, not only at home but also abroad, among Western governments wary of an Islamist regime in Egypt. The risky step from the conservative movement is an indication of the difficult political realities confronting the Brotherhood as it attempts to transition from a repressed opposition group to a majority power.

?This is the last-mile fight,? says Khalil Al Anani, an expert on Islamist politics at Durham University who is currently in Egypt. ?After [the Brotherhood] realized that the parliament is powerless, they decided to fight until the last point that they can reach to guarantee some kind of power over the new political system?. This is a serious conflict over power with the military.?

The Brotherhood?s political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, won nearly 50 percent of the seats in parliament in recent elections. But they have since found those seats gave them less clout than they had anticipated. The military refused repeated Brotherhood demands that SCAF sack the military-appointed cabinet and allow the parliamentary majority to form a government.

This lack of power, despite what was perceived as a strong victory in the elections, was embarrassing and damaging to their credibility, says Omar Ashour, an expert on Islamist movements who is a visiting fellow at the Brookings Doha Center. ?They're not going to accept being marginalized with such a popular mandate,? he says.

At the same time, the movement had few good choices when considering outside presidential candidates to back. They could not endorse any of the handful of Islamist candidates already in the race for various reasons, but risked revolt if they backed a non-Islamist candidate. Not backing a candidate was not an option, says Dr. Anani, because the leadership was afraid a president elected without their support might eventually turn on them. They deliberated mindful of 1954, when Gamal Abdel Nasser turned on the organization, officially banning it and imprisoning thousands of members. The SCAF invoked that history in a recent statement, as its confrontation with the Brotherhood heightened.

It's Snowing In Cedar City and Baseball is Just Around the Corner....Sunday's Musings...

I can't help it, I still get the itch once Major League Baseball Spring Training begins to wind down and the Umpire yells "Play Ball".? Hope spring eternal in many cities.? Darcy is a major Dodgers fan, so she is giddy with the announcement that Magic Johnson's group is buying the Dodgers.? I have become more of a fan of the Dodgers and I think that having Magic Johnson as the ownership face of the franchise is going to be a brilliant move!? I have become a fan of Magic over the years, for me, it was years in the making.? Magic was a great, great basketball player, one of the three best ever to play.? I am a Utah Jazz fan, so it was heartbreaking year after year, watching Magic's Showtime Lakers run past the Jazz.

I hope that the other teams with ownership issues get resolutions nearly as good as the Dodgers!? Right now, everyone is a World Series contender, so that is the reason for my baseball themed musings.? There are questions that I am dying to see the answers to, can the Cardinals repeat without Albert?? Do the Yankees have enough pitching, how about the Rangers, can they make it to their thirds straight World Series??? What moves will the Dodgers make?? That is the beauty of baseball, there is always a new year coming on, if it isn't this year, well then wait until next year!? Hope springs eternal, I do hope that the Cubs turn things around and get a contending team.?

Snow or not, I love this time of year!

Paul Ryan Admits He ?Misspoke? When He Said Military Leaders Did Not Support Obama?s Pentagon Budget

video

On CNN?s State of the Union today, Congressman Paul Ryan admitted he spoke out of school when he claimed that military leaders did not support President Obama?s proposed budget for FY 2013. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Thursday that Ryan was essentially calling them liars. Ryan explained to Candy Crowley that he ?misspoke? and that he ?didn?t mean to make that kind of an impression.?

Crowley told Ryan that ?the military?s a little offended by your words.? Ryan explained that he meant no offense by what he said, and he didn?t intend to claim that he knows better than the military what the military needs.

?I really misspoke, to be candid with you, Candy. I didn?t mean to make that kind of an impression, so I was clumsy in describing the point I was trying to make. The point I was trying to make? is President Obama put out his budget number for the Pentagon first, a 500 billion dollar cut. And then they began the strategy review to conform the budget to meet that number. We think it should have been the other way around.?

Ryan said he wants to cut the Pentagon budget as well, just not as much as the president does. He said the difference he wants to strike will ensure that the military remains lean and efficient while still having enough resources at its disposal to adequately function.
