That makes pretty close to zero sense.
It's a political firestorm for Obama that he does not need, and on which he will be legally challenged.
Moreover, what is going on in Mali has no direct connection to Egypt.
Again, why would this group put themselves out for an Egyptian government that has refused to help them? And which has no interest into starting a war with Algeria over Mali?
For Obama to introduce some ridiculous favor for Egypt - which is not even a party to this conflict - and introduce this randomly into a separate conflict, has no logic to it.
Oh come on, when has anybody or anyone stopped Obama? Today should have been a political firestorm. He does not care. The media will lie for him.
