It continues...nobama is such a great mastermind and glorious leader. With mclame & graham helping him, what could possibly go wrong? Remember, comrades, everything nobama does is intentional...everything.
We have no alliance with Egypt. We have little in common with then. Oh except both countries have muslim leaders.
I would disagree with this statement. Our military has had a very favorable relationship with the Egyptian military. We also had a pretty good relationship with Mubarak and his government. This relationship involved a good bit of financial aid, but it was a pretty solid relationship that contributed to regional peace and provided some stability in the Middle East/Arab world.
Obama threw that away. He betrayed a man widely viewed as our ally. He betrayed a government of Egypt that respected human rights far more than the MB, upheld their promises and treaties, and assisted us in many instances. He betrayed a government that had kept the peace with it’s neighbors.
Obama supported the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama’s support for this radical Islamic uprising gave them a credibility they had not had before and like dominoes these countries fell to radical Islamist. This administration undid decades of policy (both D and R) in a few short weeks.
There were many avenues to try and positively change internal politics in these nations. Instead, Obama took a sledgehammer to our promises and reversed accepted policy even catching many of our allies flat-footed. Obama stabbed Mubarak in the back and it was noticed by other leaders.
There is VERY LITTLE trust now on the world stage for America because this administration has proven that our word means nothing and we will betray those who stand with us. Half of Egypt already did not like us. We betrayed the half that viewed us more favorably.
Can anyone explain to me how the U.S. is now in a better strategic position because our administration supported the Jihadists? Anyone?
