Honestly, I don't know. That's the darkest scenario from our government's perspective. Possible, but I don't have access to the inner workings of her head.

Outright malice and the desire to destroy our country is certainly a possibility on the part of Jarrett and the rest of the crew, but utter incompetence, misguided goals and total confusion is another possibility.

When dealing with the Middle East, I think understanding what the US goals are is nice to know but the shitstorm that goes on their all the time rages in directions we can only observe. We can try to influence it but it's in a constant state of upheaval and change.

No matter how the Muslim Brotherhood situation in Egypt settles out, I think Obama (for real, this time) will learn about on television with the rest of us.
