Obama once again will be upset about “protocol” and letting him make all the decisions.

This doesn’t make any sense. In another article it said Egypt and Jordan both asked the administration for intelligence data and they said no.

So which is it?

I don't see a conflict. They asked only for intelligence, were refused. They decided to attack with what they had, and without informing the idiot US govt. Where's the conflict?
Analogy: you ask to borrow $5 but I refuse. You go out and buy gas for your car. No conflict.

For the record.
Obama overthrew the existing Egyptian gov and installed the muslim brothwerhood.

Egyptians overthrew the muslim brother hood and the Egyptian military joined the people AFTER the uprising.

Egypt as well as many other countries consider obama as the enemy.

Based on the current pretender of a CIC, it was wise of Egypt to do so.

Why should al-Sisi trust the current pResident in the White Hut?

He's more likely to pass the locations and times of the strikes to his Homies in the Brotherhood than help out in the strikes.

Communist, Arab, and moslem countries don't feel guilty for existing and have no need to fight like hippies.

Seeing as how this wasn't Israel, it will be interesting to see if Obama pitches a fit like he surely would if Israel had done something equally rational.
