Egypt protest leaders to Obama: 'Stay out of it'

TEL AVIV – The Egyptian Military Council and the country’s secular opposition have rejected an Obama administration proposal to keep embattled President Mohamed Morsi in power as a transition leader until new elections can be held, according to a senior member of the council speaking to WND.

The Military Council member further said there was a feeling of distrust for the White House among the opposition and that the Obama administration was asked by protest leaders to “stay out of it.”

“The opposition feeling is the U.S. did enough to put the Muslim Brotherhood in power and then try to keep Morsi there,” said the council member. “The message sent to [U.S. Ambassador to Egypt] Anne Patterson was that this is an internal Egyptian matter and stay out of it.”
