Kerry Deeply Concerned About Egypt Violence
Arutz Sheva ^ | 28/7/13 | Elad Benari

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry expressed “deep concern” on Saturday over the “bloodshed and violence” in Egypt that has killed and injured scores, saying the country faced a “pivotal moment,” Al Arabiya reported.

Kerry, in a statement following calls with Egyptian and European officials, also urged an “independent and impartial inquiry” into the events of the past 24 hours and urged all of the Egypt’s leaders to act to “help their country take a step back from the brink.”

At least 65 people were killed during clashes in Cairo early Saturday, Egypt’s Health Ministry said, after violence erupted at a demonstration in support of ousted President Mohammed Morsi.

The ministry said nine others died in violence in Egypt’s second city Alexandria, putting the toll in two days of unrest at 74. The Muslim Brotherhood, however, claimed that the death toll was much higher and that about 120 people were killed in what the movement described as a “massacre” in “an attempt to complete the coup.”

“This is a pivotal moment for Egypt,” Kerry said, according to Al Arabiya.

“Over two years ago, a revolution began. Its final verdict is not yet decided, but it will be forever impacted by what happens right now,” he said.

Kerry also said that, at a time of extreme volatility, Egyptian authorities have “a moral and legal obligation to respect the right of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression.”

“Violence not only further sets back the process of reconciliation and democratization in Egypt, but it will negatively impact regional stability,” he said.

It would be breaking news if Kerry said anything that wasn't totally predictable. Is "impact" now a verb?

Kerry Deeply Concerned About Egypt Violence

He certainly is. It might blow up into WWIII before he gets his Nobel Peace Prize, then he never get it.

Deeply concerned but no guilt even though he’s guilty as sin.

I get that Kerry’s the SoS. But it would be refreshing to see someone in this administration be deeply concerned about the violence in Chicago.

Now that Obama has lost his closest ally Mohammad Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood client state, look for him to pump even more money, and at a faster rate, to the Syrian rebels in an effort to establish the Muslim Brotherhood nation in Syria.

The Obama foreign policy is let’s support the Muslim Brotherhood. The Obama foreign policy is not naive. It is evil.

Kerry deeply concerned about Egypt violence...

Hillary Clinton deeply concerned about Egypt/Libyan violence...

William Burns deeply concerned about Egypt/Arab/Israeli violence...

Condoleezza Rice deeply concerned about Arab/Gaza/Israeli/Iraqi/Afghani violence...

Colin Powell deeply concerned about Arab Iraqi/Afgahani violence...

Madeleine Albright deeply concerned about Palestinian/Israeli violence...

Wlliam Christopher deeply concerned about Israeli/Palestinian violence...

The State Dept. is one giant APPEASEMENT agency, always “deeply concerned” about a crisis but NEVER LEARNING FROM IT'S MISTAKES!
