‘Our battle is with America and Israel, not with Ethiopia,’ says the leader of the Islamic Labor Party
If leading Egyptian politicians describe America as their nation’s enemy, then why in the hell did Uncle Sucker give Egypt $1.3 billion recently?

A prominent Egyptian politician who thought he was in a secret meeting was caught on live television referring to the United States as an enemy, just weeks after Egypt received $1.3 billion in new American aid.
The "open mic" incident came at a meeting convened by President Mohamed Morsi to discuss an Ethiopian plan to build a dam on the Nile River, which some at the gathering asserted was a secret American and Israeli plot to undermine Egypt, The New York Times reported.
A state-owned television channel picked up Magdi Hussein, leader of the Islamic Labor Party, saying:
"I'm very fond of battles. With the enemies, of course, with America and Israel, but this battle must be waged with maximum judiciousness and calm. Even though this is a secret meeting we must all take an oath not to leak anything to the media. ...
"Our battle is with America and Israel, not with Ethiopia."
Morsi interrupted him: "This meeting is being aired live on TV."
