WASHINGTON The Obama administration refuses to back Egypts attacks against the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL), which were launched after the jihadist group savagely beheaded 21 Egyptian Christians.
On Wednesday, a reporter asked Rear Adm. John Kirby, the outgoing Pentagon press secretary, Do you support Egypts right to bomb ISIS targets in the wake of the Christian Coptics being killed?
We arent taking a position here in the Pentagon on these recent strikes by Egypt we werent notified ahead of time. We didnt participate or support them in any way, and were not taking a position on it, said the press secretary in responding.
We are neither condemning nor condoning the Egyptian attacks against ISIS, an anonymous Obama administration official told The Daily Beast.
Kirby highlighted rifts in the relationship between the U.S and its longtime ally Egypt, which he called complicated.
The strained relations stem from political developments in Egypt that the Obama administration deems troubling.

The 3 countries in the middle east that had peaceful relations are Israel, Egypt and Jordan. Coincidentally the three countries Obama openly hates.
What’s wrong with this picture? And isn’t this a question the MSM should ask Josh baby?
My gosh what has happened to this great country?! Our government has gone mad!
Bammy HATES it when he can’t warn his brother muzzies of incoming.
I remember reading in the past year or so bits and pieces of the new Egyptian government investigating and accusing Obama and Clinton of crimes against them over their support of the muslim brotherhood rise to power there. I can’t remember how much was divulged, but I’m sure there are hard feelings due to that.
Sure they were notified. They asked for target information and basically heard a click....
Disgusting that he can’t even say he supports bombs hitting an ISIS target. What bombs would he NOT support hitting them?
Shows also that there is no trust with Egypt with information we have as the position of this administration which is BAD for future relations.
Ping without comment because I have no words.
Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson ... "You're damned right I ordered the code red") ... seems like the modern day Patton that gets taken down because something f'ed up
Do we HAVE a Pentagon of warriors ?
Or are they no different than the union mobsters protecting their 'security' (pensions) ?
Obama doesn't name enemies and our military doesn't fight them
The citizens tsk tsk and tonight I will speak out at our school board meeting and ask if our local high school is complicit in producing the caliber of citizen that enters higher academia to become part of the media problem, and the "educational" force to produce leftists against America
Our enemy is firstly spiritual, but it is manifested in human beings and THEY come from somewhere and I think the educational system is the first line of OFFENSE against the American identity
It should take about three generations to even come close to returning America to the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Agreed.
From what I had heard or read both Jordan and Egypt asked the U.S. for intel on active targets to eradicate the vermin but the Administration refused to provide any.
Given that, why the hell would they inform the Kenyan manchild of their intention to bomb them back to the stone age. So he could inform “his people” and take out a jet or two?
This loser is gonna get a whole lot of Americans Killed. My bet is on Iran launching a Nuke and turning the Middle East into a firestorm of biblical proportions, with Isis cells activating in this country causing mayhem here.
At this rate of his deception, obozo will have to order the US military to start taking out Christians and Jews before the Congress realizes he needs to be removed from the WH. And with this traitorous congress that would be debated to death before it would happen.
John McCain would support that War resolution...a day later so would Linsey Graham! Marco Rubio would, then change his mind.
Rand Paul would also as long as it was only on American Citizens in the States. he would filibuster for no overseas intervention. /s
Yes, the Islamists were kicked out, thanks to the courage and valor of the Egyptian people. That troubles Obama.
.... with Isis cells activating in this country causing mayhem here.
************************
It’s going to come down to lock & load/defend yourself & your family time amongst the populace. My Leftist friend, who told me to my face that he wanted to take my gun away from me for no other reason than he thinks “guns are bad”, will have to defend himself with his garden rake.
ping
Obama...gotta arm, train, support, defend, enable IslamoNazi terrorist murder gangs everywhere
... and kill infidels (Christians, Jews, etc.)
consistent policy for 6 years and continuing...
I can read between the lines with the best of them. Mr Admiral here is most worried about his pension, as compared to anything else, so he's keeping his yap shut. Yellow-bellied coward.
