If the U.S. was exercising good planning behind the scenes we would be seeing a long transitional period and the initial talking points that the transition must be to a representative govt protecting everyone's God given rights. All we see is confusion from the executive branch.
I’m perfectly fine with blaming Obama for any problems that arise with this transition.
It won’t be warranted, but I’ll join in because I believe Obama is the worst President in 200 years. Bar none.
Team Obama took an unstable situation and made it infinitely worse. Mubarak's "term" had 7 months to go before the next "election."
In 7 months, a transition back to the Egyptian constitution was certainly possible. By turning this over to the military, GENERAL Mubarak has done absolutely the right thing, under the circumstances The Kenya Kid has set up.
This is when revolutions happen: when despots, benevolent or not, loosen the reins for "reforms." Only two people in history (that I know of) pulled off this dicey transition successfully: Franco in Spain, and Pinochet in Chile. Let's hope we learn of a third in Egypt and that the Kommie Kiddie Korps in DC has not unleashed an Islamic whirlwind.
