You would have to be living on Mars to not realize that U.S. foreign policy, especially our Middle East policy, is a disaster .
With the help of two misguided Republican senators, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, the Obama administration has managed to make America despised, disrespected, and mistrusted across the region.
The Obama administration has repeatedly said that democracy took hold in Egypt through a free and fair election. That is a mirage.
During the mere 12-month reign of the Muslim Brotherhood, we watched: Churches being burnt Christians beheaded in broad daylight Minorities, including Shiites, slaughtered in the streets Al Qaeda moving 3,000 of its Afghan fighters into the Sinai Desert Massive amounts of arms flowing into Egypt from Libya and Turkey The firing of non-Islamist government officials (highly qualified Muslims), who were then replaced by Muslim extremists and known terrorists U.S. government funds landing in the laps of Muslim Brotherhood leaders
But the most egregious act of all was the silence of the White House and the State Department. They did not utter a mumbling word about any of those atrocities.
As for Libya, the arms sent from the United States to Libyan rebels...those armaments found their way into Egypt and the Sinai region. There, they were used to kill more than 100 Egyptian police and army officers. ...were the weapons that Senators McCain and Graham insisted on supplying to the Libyan rebels.
To make matters worse, the administration came to the aid of Muslim Brotherhood supporters, who set up camps in the middle of suburban Cairo... a large enough stockpile of weapons was inside the camp to destroy the country. When the police finally moved in after six weeks and removed the armed terrorists, the White House objected and strenuously demanded that the protestors rights be respected.
