Later in the article, the same official is quoted as saying loyalty is priceless in the Middle East. That being the case, indecisiveness is a killer.

And that's what emanating from the White House. Overruling Frank Wisner after sending him in, just adds to the incoherence.

The Obama Adminsistarion enmeshing itself in entangling messages might free Israel's hand, though.

Loyalty does not exist among the elites. Can you imagine being in the front lines of combat and being ordered to share a foxhole with Obama? You couldn’t focus on the guns in front of your face for fear of the knife behind your back.

I sure hope Netanyahu knows that it is not the US...this is solely Obama and his minions.

Apparently after Wisner was sent on his mention with his talking points one of obama’s muslims rulers, one of the ones he bows to, told him to change his tune and it was too late to get word to Wisner.

When the time comes, Israel hopefully now realizes it needs to take out Iran’s nukes on its own: no help is going to be coming from this WH.

Obama’s incompetence or mendacity (or both) IS going to result in a real shooting war in the Middle East. The only question is how far across the world will it spread...

And you can be sure Saudi Arabia is not amused either.

FTA: "The White House did not know quite what to do: back the shah or seek his replacement," he wrote, warning the Obama administration not to "repeat the errors" it made by failing to back an ally facing protests.

People keep advising Obama to learn from Carter's mistakes. He has, but not in the way they mean. Obama's goal is to pick up where Carter left off, just without Carter's ineptitude. Obama is succeeding at the former, the jury is still out on the latter.

I’m sure the Saudis and others in ME OPEC at sh*tn in their head garb. Zero is very dangerous and he is using the ME as the cornerstone for a global meltdown - cut off the oil.

US 'desertion' of Mubarak dismays Israel

Note to Israel:

1.As long as the kenyan usurper's regime is in power, don't count on the US for anything, and certainly don't share any secrets with us.

2. Advise your followers in the US that voting for 0bama is suicidal.

[ChurtleDawg]

I don’t know how anyone could keep Mubarak in power without a massive military intervention.

The majority of the public wants him gone and we should respect that. The important thing we should be concerned with is preventing some extremist faction from seizing power.

Frankly, Mubarak is also 82 yrs old, so it would have been his time sooner or later anyway.

We foretold this.

Mossasd needs to start reading FR.

We knew.
