"White House: We're Not Taking Sides in Egypt
Associated Press ^ | 1/31/11 | Brian Montopoli

Posted on 01/31/2011 2:34:19 PM PST by Nachum

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday that it is "not for me or our government to determine" whether Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak should leave office amid massive protests against his rule. Gibbs said the United States is "not picking between those on the street and those in the government." Yet Gibbs also said the U.S. was seeking an "orderly transition" in Egypt. Asked what he meant with those words, the press secretary said the United States wanted to see "a process of negotiations with a broad cross-section of the Egyptian people.

Gibbs is so stupid. This is called DITHERING ~ not at all the sort of thing the top echelon of a major world power is allowed to do.

People will die on account of this ~ INNOCENT PEOPLE, GOOD PEOPLE, CHILDREN ~ they will die and their blood will run in the gutters because Obama doesn't know how to care!

Gibbs would be wise to find a tall building and jump off.

The whitehouse’s position does seem strangely similar to many USSC decisions, just sayin.

Can’t agree more. Sometimes the best times to achieve a goal is to not take action. If Mubarak isn’t supported soon he will fall. Our government doesn’t want to shore him up right now ergo...

After Obamah’s speech in Cairo, nearly two years ago, this Egyptian Community Disruption can be laid at the feet of America’s Disruptor in Chief!

Would we expect anything less from this looser?
