Egypt Backs Russian Strikes Against Terrorists in Syria
PressTV ^ | October 4, 2015 | PressTV

Egypt says Russia’s anti-terror airstrikes in Syria will restrict the spread of terrorism and deal a major blow to the Daesh terrorist group in the violence-torn Arab country.

“Russia’s entrance, given its potential and capabilities, is something we see is going to have an effect on limiting terrorism in Syria and eradicating it,” said Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry in a televised interview broadcast on Saturday.

I’ll wager Jordan is the next one up backing Russian air strikes.

President Jarrett couldn't identify the bad guys in Egypt, so how do you expect her to identify the bad guys in Syria, where it is even less clear?

Since we have Islamists running our foreign policy, the prudent thing to do is just stand down and let the Russians try to clean up this mess.

China, Baghdad, Iran, now Egypt.

Putin is getting a significant coalition.

US pols are calling for a no-fly zone.

US is too late. Putin is in charge of this.

Looks like Obama is on the wrong side of the red line.

The “red line” turned puss pink some time ago.

When Arab Muslims are willing to admit the air strikes are on terrorists, you know they are.

If I were Egypt, I'd never again trust the country (U.S.) who backed Muzzie Muslime Brotherhood leader Mohammed Morsi to replace Hosni Mubarak. Another relationship DESTROYED by 0dunga/Hillary.

Team 0dunga, THE DESTROYER OF RELATIONSHIPS. Intentional? Yes, SABOTAGE. 100% intentional.

That's right, Obama and Egypt aren't butt-buddies any more. So sad.

Isn't Obama's Red Line in Chicago?

Wait a minute. I thought Barky announced just a day or two ago Russia is isolated and we have “the whole world” on our side?

Another grave failure the MSM doesn’t talk about.

Obama’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood was about to plunge Egypt into a civil war and pogrom against Christians. Its the military coup against the MB that pulled Egypt back from the brink. Since then, Egypt has squarely aligned itself with Russia and China. No doubt their leadership sees Obama as an enemy.

Russia is the Good Guy.

The US is the Bad Guy now. We are, after all, the world's largest funder of terrorism: we gave $150B to Iran. We do everything we can to help Islam bring down western civilization.

People are starting to notice.

Remember all that crap about Arab Spring a few years ago. This is where it brought us to.
