Guess it all depends on what the meaning of "Blow" is...

[cripplecreek]

Now that the Egyptian military has decided to include the muslim brotherhood in setting up the government, I’d say blowing it is understating the fact.

Try to educate Mika and she'll tell her daddy and give him the show uninterrupted and unchallenged to contradict you.

The fact is the United States and the White House weren’t all that central to the events in Egypt.

We weren’t that central to these events.

We don’t know how this is going to turn out, so let’s be very careful whether it’s a triumph or a massive setback. We just don’t know.

In linguistics, these are called hedge words or phrases. They usually indicate that the speaker does not have confidence in what they are saying. Other examples are actually and basically.

Zbigniew - not much smarter than his daughter.

Why would anyone turn to this proven loser for analysis?

“Hi there. I’m Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski. But my friends, former president Carter

Berserksy was one of the architects of the last big overthrow operation (Iran / Shah / Kohmeany).

The line from the Movie the Godfather comes into play when Michael Corleone tells Frank Pentangeli, that his Late Father gave him this advice: “Son, keep your friends close but your enemies closer”. Just a guess but I think this might be a strategy that the Egyptian Military is adopting.

“The fact is the United States and the White House weren’t all that central to the events in Egypt."

Translation: We were powerless to influence events in the Middle East.

This did not go unnoticed by either our friends or our enemies.

[McGruff]

So Dr. Brzezinski, would you call this a success? Would you say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED?

[Walts Ice Pick]

Much as I dislike Newsweek, I'll read this guy's article to see what he thinks we should have done/do in Egypt. I know he just left Israel and I suspect he thinks that Israel and the U.S. should have sent in troops to protect the Mubarak regime, which is probably the only way the regime could have been saved.

Obviously, Israel decided against that strategy and I support Israel in that decision.

[DannyTN]

He effectively said "We didn't blow it, because we weren't relevant."

Which is to say, we blew it.

Guess it depends on who your daughter is.. :-)

Oh yeah!!! Words of wisdom from Jimmy Carter’s national security adviser. Really funny.

[opentalk]

Damage control. Beck yesterday played a humiliating clip from morning Joe that illustrated how out of touch they are. Basically Obama propaganda TV.

Brzezinski is an adviser to ICG.

[Dr. Thorne]

How would Brzezinski know? He's not National Security Advisor anymore. Does he have access to classified information?

Or did the CFR have their dirty hands in the action?

[Twinkie]

Were Wm. Ayers, B. Dohrn, & Code Pink in Egypt community organizing in the weeks before the demonstrations? I don’t know; have heard they were, just asking.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

LMAO!!!!! Daddy has to do damage control for his little girl.
