Why Is General Mattis Nominating the ‘Muslim Brotherhood’s Stooge’?
« on: March 09, 2017, 10:00:20 pm »
Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis’ pick for undersecretary of defense for policy, Anne Patterson, is problematic.

Problematic understatement.  Obama appointee with ties to Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

White House blocks Mattis from appointing Obama’s ambassador to Egypt as Defense deputy

posted at 2:01 pm on March 3, 2017 by Allahpundit

Very odd, even more so than Mattis reportedly asking Michele Fluornoy to be his undersecretary at the Pentagon. (She turned him down, allegedly because implementing some of Trump’s policies would conflict with her “values.”) Fluornoy’s also an Obama alum but she’s a respected defense expert and was considered for Mattis’s position under Obama. Had Hillary won in November, Fluornoy would almost certainly be SecDef right now, the first woman ever to lead the department. Mattis might have reasonably concluded that the value of her expertise outweighed her political liabilities.

But what’s the argument for appointing Anne Patterson? She’s a lifelong diplomat, not a defense specialist. And her diplomatic career is checkered in the eyes of Republicans who loathe how conciliatory the Obama White House was to the Muslim Brotherhood when Egyptians briefly handed power to the group. Patterson wasn’t just on duty during the Brotherhood’s rule; she was a de facto spin doctor for the regime during Egypt’s counterrevolution.

The General should never have been given a waiver.  He was not eligible and now we are paying the price.

Mattis needs t go. The broad he picked for this spot before this one was another Obama Leftist hack with absolutly no experience in the Defense Dept. Mattis seems to be a loser in my estimation.

I think you are right Frank.  He is a Democrat isn't he?  Yeah this is bad.  One of those not the greatest people picks.

I thought the guy was solid. He was fairly no nonsense as a commander. Looks like when the rubber meets the road, he is an establishment POS. You live, you learn, you make adjustments. I don't know how this guy can be salvaged.

You must be wrong.  Trump picks only the best.

I don't know if anyone listened to Michael Savage last night ... his question was, who do you think is sabotaging Trump's presidency more??  RINO's? CIA?  Bannon?  Wikileaks?

My thoughts ... sure the DEMS and RINO's are undermining his presidency, but I think it extends way beyond that, I believe it is the very people whom he is putting in his cabinet; like Sessions and Mattis.  I think Priebus is another.

That is what I said when he was chosen, I got nothing but grief for it.

IMHO Trump is an unfit president.  Any issues that confront him are of his own making.
