Well Omar Sharif is from Egypt, after all.
another aspect of this is that every other ally of ours is seeing Obama throw Mubarak under the bus. After today, no one will have any confidence in us whatsoever. It’ll like Hanoi in 75. We had no credibility, the Russians were on the move. You saw things go up in Angola, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Indochina, etc...
What do you think Abdullah in Jordan is thinking seeing how we sat by and did nothing as our key ally of 30 yrs in the region just got taken out? What are they thinking in Riyadh seeing Obama let the MB waltz right in? In the Gulf? In Jerusalem? What do you think Putin and Hu are thinking taking the measure of Obama?
