Since the F-16’s can only be used to threated Israel, can we at least hold up delivery of the next 8?

The tanks are simply mobile pillboxes to keep crowds under control. But if they’re used that way and the Muslim Brotherhood gets the new Iranian, Russian or Chinese anti-tank weapons we shall find the Abram’s vulnerable parts. (Hint, it’s in the back, below the turret.)

Things are very clear regarding Obama’s “Charm Offensive” and “Reset” policies that were all an attempt to disassociate America from George Bush's policies.

Well, he did this brilliantly, alienating allies, encouraging foes and setting back US Foreign policy 40 years.

When all else fails, send an incompetent Sec. of State (Heinz ketchup) to the region in order to pressure Israel (for the 456th time) to release PLO Terrorists with blood on their hands.

Yes, it makes sense for a misguided and befuddled administration that is no longer leading from behind but just being a behind...

Obama gave Egyptian President Morsi $250 million in March in addition to 200 Abrams tanks and 12 F-16s, with 8 more to be delivered by the end of the year. Pretty strong support for the Muslim Brotherhood, of which Morsi is a member.

Weapons that went straight into the hands of the Egyptian military. Which is the organization that actually overthrew Morsi. I'm not sure how giving weapons to an organization that overthrew its boy is "pretty strong support" for the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Egyptian military appears to be acting like the good guys throughout this. They're trying to keep the situation balanced and contained. They helped oust Mubarak ... which created something of a "soft landing" to his overthrow. But they've now demonstrated that they're willing to step up and hold the Muslim Brotherhood in check. IIRC the Eqyptian military is pretty secularized. And they DO NOT want another war with Israel.

Sung to the tune of Chrissy Hynde’s (The Pretenders) song, ...it must be Ramadan time... ta dee da da de daa...it must be Ramadan time, ta dee da da de daa it must be Shahid (Martyr) time.

The Arabs are nuts.
During Ramadan, they are even crazier.
Watch out a hungry and tired Islamicist might place himself next to you and then it's...SHAHID time.

The Marxist is a world wide failure and he actually thought he would be LOVED and admired.

What an arrogant ass.

But Obama just said that he didn’t support Morsi.

“Could Obama’s Middle East policy possibly be more preposterous?”

What could come out a preposterous administration but preposterous policy?

Seriously.

Obama has claimed that the United States isn't aligned with or supporting any particular group or political party. His actions tell a different story.

Actions speak louder than words... Seems everyone is starting to 'catch on' to what's really happening...
