Obama Policies Turning Egypt Against U.S.
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 8/15/2013 | Bill Gertz

Posted on 08/15/2013 9:50:35 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

The Obama administration support for Muslim Brotherhood Islamists in Egypt is driving the powerful military there against the United States and toward Moscow, according to U.S. officials and reports from the region.

The pro-Muslim Brotherhood stance is undermining decades of U.S. policy toward the Middle East state and prompting concerns that the United States is about to “lose” Egypt as a strategic partner, said officials familiar with intelligence reports.

Disclosure of the concern over the administration’s policy failure in Egypt comes as a security crackdown on pro-Muslim Brotherhood supporters in Cairo resulted in scores killed.

“The Obama administration’s blatant Islamist support is risking the decades-long security arrangement with Egypt,” one U.S. official told the Washington Free Beacon.

Bill Gertz is a seasoned veteran reporter. I take seriously what he says. However, we all know that Obama has the hots for the Muslim Brotherhood so I don't expect things to change. In fact, as is slowly coming into focus, the Obama administration is destroying international relations and has been. It now seems that it is merely a matter of time before some very bad international things begin to happen and we are drawn into it.

Obama is totally screwing everything up and the pace of the impending disasters are hastening. The exits are closing. The noose is tightening.

What exactly is the “U.S.” anymore, anyway? The people of America are against 0bama’s destruction HERE, too! He leaves a path of destruction everywhere he goes.

Looks like they are making good use of our M-l tanks and D-9 Cats to help clear the streets. Those big D-9’s are really good at removing barriers and scattering the crowds.

Totally unexpected.

Who could ever have expected or anticipated that Egypt could become even more anti American than they already were before Obama was elected.

This is a remarkable and amazing achievement by the Obama Administration.

In a very bad way of course, but still a remarkable achievement .

Even the liberal Huffington Post has a headline this morning over a photo of OBozo at the microphone:

“We strongly Condemn Attacks*
(photo)
* That We Are Paying For”

So everyone’s getting it about this empty suit draped over the chair in the Oval Office.

Since I am convinced that Obummer is a closet Islamist, I have asked many times, but never received an answer to this question: Is there a prayer rug in the White hut?
Someone should know?
