I've often said that most of us in the public don't know enough real intelligence to draw intelligent conclusions. I felt the same way about Saddam, myself.
But we knew afterwards. We learned. Obama on the other hand wanted to show the world he too, like Bush, could overthrow governments. He thought he was special because he didn’t use troops. He had zero reason to back the ouster of Mubarak. Isn’t it odd how the Arab countries ruled by royalty didn’t get on Obama’s radar?
