He may not realize it but he is doing the Egyptians a favor. Their army is going to be busy fighting Hussein’s terrorist friends.

0bumble has no leverage with the Egyptian military. He dare not cut off massive aid for fear they would retaliate by abrogating the peace treaty with Israel.

He’s doing them a HUGE favor there. Seriously. The U.S. needs to stay out of this now. We (Obama) already caused too much mess.

The Russians probably still have leftover equipment and parts from the old days when they supplied Egypt, making that a pretty cheap way to clear out Russian warehouses.

Are you feeling rebuked yet, Egypt? If not, we'll have Kerry unleash a strongly worded statement. This is not your last warning!

I hope the army kills them all.

Where was Obama’s righteous indignation when Coptic Christians were being beaten and killed, their churches destroyed and their women raped?

. . just digging a deeper hole .

Obama's only job experience beyond defrocked slip and fall shyster, "constitutional scholar" (teehee) and community rabblerouser is as a Baskin Robbins ice cream dipper so lets not be too hard on him for digging holes - it's his chosen field after all.

What a stumblebum

And yet he breaks the law by not cutting it off.

The Brotherhood protesters are carrying and using weapons and they are wearing ski masks. I do not think that the anti-Morsi protesters did anything of the sort.

It's going to be May 1967 all over again for Israel with Russian client states sorrounding them including the Egyptian Army in the Sinai.

The big difference is the US no longer has Israel's back and everybody knows it!
