You gotta give them credit for consistency.
NOTHING they say is intended to be factual.

“Not intended to be factual” - does that mean he was just talking out of his ass? A simple bull session? It was to make him appear ‘funny’? No, hell no, a thousand times no. He is simply stupid. Nope, no need for him to go to any intel meetings with his inate knowledge. A regular Einstein.

The following countries have been designated as major non-NATO allies of the United States (in order of their appointment):
Named by George H. W. Bush
Egypt (1989) Israel (1989) Japan (1989) South Korea (1989) Hey, we're down here - Australia (1989)
Actually until now, I thought the original 5 was the complete list.
And I don't see any of the 10 added since 1989 as meeting both the requirements of "major" and "ally" - JMO

Obama said that Egypt is not an ally of the United States. That statement was correct; they are not an ally by any stretch of the imagination. Hillary’s State Department then spanked the Community Organizer in Chief and went back to pretending that they are an ally.

COMPLETE and TOTAL AMATEUR HOUR at the WHITE HOUSE.
To: TBP
The State Dept. flack today was trying not to contradict Zero, and claimed that Egypt was not an ally because we don’t have a treaty of alliance with them. Then she tried to pawn it off to the White House for clarification. One reporter pointed out that Egypt has offically been declared a Major Non-Nato Ally for decades, which lets them fast track arms purchases, and have those priveliges been revoked? She had to admit, no, they haven’t. So they are still an ally? Er, well yes, they are an ally.
Priceless.

——She had to admit, no, they havent.——
She usually looks serene. During this encounter she was visibly uncomfortable and perhaps chagrined when she was outed with the truth. She could never play poker.

It depends on what the meaning of the word "ally" means. Congress and the President have officially designated Egypt as a major non-NATO ally, which entitles them to certain benefits and considerations that I have listed.
Obama was wrong and no amount of spinning will change it. It will take Congress and the President to remove this designation from Egypt. Words and laws do have meanings.

Of course he can’t be taken seriously, he’s not the president of the US, he’s a popstar. Ruling over the huddled masses is something he does when he’s not on the Letterman SHow.

Hillary must be purple with rage...her and bill have real political savvy...her having to fix his incompetence must really get under her scales

Well Barry used up the phrase that “his decision is evolving” to be able to test the winds of reaction on this one.

Not anymore, they’re not. Not with the Muslim Brotherhood in charge. With the Muslim Brotherhood in charge, they may be Obama’s ally, but they’re not America’s.
