On Tuesday, Secretary of State John Kerry reportedly called his counterpart in Egypt, Mohamed Kamel Amr. He had a question: was Amr still foreign minister? Kerry didn’t know the answer. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Amr “had tendered his resignation hours earlier but agreed to stay on.” Kerry wanted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi to call new presidential elections, replace the prime minister, and bring others into his government. When Morsi said no, the coup was on.
The Journal notes, “The moment served to underscore the Obama administration's limited ability to steer events in a Middle East still being swept by political upheaval. A reconstruction of how the U.S. handled Egypt in recent months suggests that U.S. officials saw the standoff building but were unable to persuade Mr. Morsi to pull back.”
Now, the United States is viewed by the Muslim Brotherhood as the force behind Morsi’s ouster, and is viewed by the Egyptian military as an obstacle to that ouster. “We’ve managed now to alienate both sides in Egypt,” former State Department official Michele Dunne said.

My name is John Lurch Kerry and I'm a dumbass!
From his yacht?
Already the worst Secretary of State this country has ever had.
Time for us to “Walk like an Egyptian”!
Medalling.
ROFLMHO! These clowns have no idea in the world what they’re doing. Un-freaking-believable!
Nice work folks!
Article claims Kerry instigated the coup.... Roflol...
“Kerry wanted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi to call new presidential elections, replace the prime minister, and bring others into his government. When Morsi said no, the coup was on.”
Are they really this dumb? “The Obama administration had backed Morsi because it was under the misimpression that Morsi had been the moving force behind a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian “
The Love Boat... Soon it will be making another run...
So our liitle princess was hooking up with a future mummy?
““Privately that November,” the Wall Street Journal reported, “Mr. Obama said he believed he had made a connection with Mr. Morsi.””
LOVE THAT!!
So this is how they spin it: "Total incompetence" is the administration's excuse for backing the terrorist muslim brotherhood, and helping them steal the Egyptian election.
If there were 3 or more sides Kerry abs 0 would have them all pissed at the US.
That’s okay, the media is going to be all over like this, just like they would if it was a Republican secretarie of state... right?... (Crickets chirping)
Hey, Kerry. Why the long face?
He also told Morsi that he had served in Vietnam.
The Bush legacy is simply amazing. Here it is, nearly 5 years after Bush leaves office, and he is still causing problems of poor Barack. His policies even forced poor John Kerry to have to make phone calls from his yacht while vacationing over the Forth of July (week).
Inteerstng no one called Susan Rice, obama’s crack “national security advisor” who is, we are certain, on top of all this
sarc
Looks like twitter CNN AP and Reuters (maybe al Jazeera) is going to be the obama team’s source of real time intelligence since NSA is still tracking the Tea Party
