Excellent discussion on current Egypt events led by Krauthammer on Bret Baier "Special Report" ---- excellent only because Krauthammer was present. Will post video when it is available.
The Daily Caller picked it up (with video)

Krauthammer: Obama ‘bystander’ policy on Egypt ‘a shocking position’
"The tack Obama is taking is 180 degrees from the position he took with its 2011 revolution, according to Krauthammer.
“Obama is a bystander, again,” Krauthammer said. “Here are the Egyptians in the millions out on the street, trying to bring down an Islamic government, increasingly dictatorial, increasingly intolerant, arresting journalists and judges, trying to Islamicize the military and the people are saying no. And what does the president of the United States do? He takes a position of studied neutrality, says he is not supporting either side....
“But this reminds me of the Green Revolution in Iran in 2009 when the same thing happened. Islamists, dictatorial government, the people out in the street, and they were shouting ‘Obama, Obama, are you with us or against us?’” ....That was a shameful episode.
There’s also idea of national interest. Mubarak was pro-American. He was an ally of ours. He helped us in all kinds of ways. Obama worked against him. Morsi represents a movement which is essentially deeply anti-American, and deeply anti-democratic. And yet he is neutral on this. This is a shocking position for a president to take.”
There is more---Krauthammer nails it!

Least Krauthammer forgets...’O’ said in his book...that he would side with his Muslim Brothers if things got bad.... apparently they are not bad enough for him to decide. Playing neutral is his style.
