Mideast Allies Press U.S. on Egypt
WSJ ^ | 2 hours ago | By ay Solomon, Adam Entous

“If the U.S. is taking a position that undermines the Egyptian government and empowers the Brotherhood, a lot of us will say: ‘Good luck, you’re on your own,’ ” said a senior Arab official involved in talks with the U.S. “There will be a wide regional fallout.”

Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Jordan and Kuwait—all U.S. allies—have supported the Egyptian military’s overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi last month and its crackdown on the Islamist protesters supporting him, which has left more than 1,000 people dead.

These countries are lobbying the U.S. to continue providing $1.3 billion in annual military assistance to Egypt, U.S. and Arab officials said.

He better ask Valerie Jarret to make some sort of decision for him.

Golf Clown Obama’s Foreign Policy is to use his cell phone from the Golf Links to send out more Obamadrones.

Seems to work as the worse the Foreign Policy problem becomes, the more Obama plays Golf.

BTW, why is Obama’s new UN Ambassador in Ireland watching a Charlie Chaplin Festival? Wasn’t Charlie a Communist, back in the day?

This speech from “The Great Dictator” gives a good glimpse at Chaplin’s personal vision of anti-Capitalist globalism.

And by the way...note the slimy way in which he warps and misrepresents the word of God as part of his message.

Always the left screamed that Bush had to have allies, we must have the support of a large coalition. Funny how it is different when Bubba and now Zero want to expend American lives and resources in support of radical muslims.

"The actual quote from the book is from page 261 and is as follows: "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

The above are exact quotes from Barry Sotero, otherwise known as Barack Obama. Much of it is gobblygook, as he does, except for his quote about the "dark underbelly of America.", and he will stand with the "Arabs" and "Pakistanies should the political winds shift in an ugly direction".

Read it thoroughly and understand his meaning. After watching the leader of the free world BOW to the Saudi King, can there be any doubt that our own President is a muslim? There is NO doubt in my mind that we have a muslim in the White House. Think who he is supporting in Egypt - the Muslim Brotherhood.

I've been thinking the same thing since his World Peace tour and getting the now worthless Nobel Peace prize.

I can't think of one nation. BTW, he pretty much ignores Africa. The Sudan is bad as ever. What the hell is Obambi's story about black culture? He is so proud to be a black man, but always forgets he is half white. He goes on TV about the thug Trayvon Martin being his possible son and does NOTHING for the plight of the massacres in Africa.

I really can't believe we have such a racist, self-absorbed, president. But then, 51% of Americans want stuff which he promises, so there you go. Got Obamaphone?

ALL of the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF'S pick for position in this government are COMMUNISTS, and are chosen specifically to DESTROY this country!
Most, if not ALL of them, are also Muslim plants, put there to spy on this country, and DESTROY this country.
Its just that simple!
