Saudi Arabias King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz said the kingdom supports Egypt in the fight against terrorism.
King Abdullah said Egypts stability is being targeted by haters warnijng that anyone that interferes in Egypts internal affairs seeks to waken sedition.
And soon Obama will be the only world leader supporting Morsi and MB.
Don’t be surprised when the Eqyptian military closes Suez Canal to US military..that is coming next.
Trying to keep on eye on any moves by Russia and Saudi Arabia, while Obama dithers on vacay.
Your posts are very valuable in determining larger global game going on...Thanks!! This thread rocks!
Watch for McCain too. He is up to his ears in this foreign policy nightmare. When Suez Canal closes..all hell will break lose. My guess is that Russian troops will be assisting Egyptian military when the time comes.
Thank you. McCain and Graham are on the list ... so is Hagel and Kerry.

U.N. political affairs chief intends to travel to Egypt next week
U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman plans to visit Egypt next week to hear views on the crisis and the way forward, the United Nations said on Friday.
“The schedule is still being worked out. However, it goes without saying that Mr. Feltman intends to meet with a range of interlocuters, inside and outside the government, including the Muslim Brotherhood,” the United Nations said.
President Obamas detached and abstract statement yesterday on deteriorating conditions in Egypt is only the most recent manifestation of this Administration's failed policy in that country. As there can no longer be any reasonable doubt that what occurred in July was a military coup, the first step is to send an unequivocal message that the United States is a nation of laws and suspend aid to Egypt.
SNIP
Hehehe...
Meanwhile...Obama playing spades...all night and day...lol. Looks like a losing hand to me.
Sure wish someone on our side would have the moral courage to say we should be supporting the military in Egypt to restore order and protect civilians. I really don’t get Rand Paul or Cruz right now and love them both.
Isn’t that a complete 180?

Why does President Barack Obama persist in supporting Mohamed Morsy — and not the protesters?
BY TED CRUZ | JULY 3, 2013
Cruz siding with the MB is too much. Rand was already crossed off my list. Any politician going out of their way to side with the MB shows they are incredibly stupid and all the read or believe is MSM/gov propaganda, or they’re ideologically siding with the MB.
I am extremely sickened about their positions. Nauseated!
