How's it looking now, Friend?



Our tax dollars now are funding Sharia law, not democracy of, for and by the people as was hoped.

Then pull our money. Get it out of Egypt...Lebanaon, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan and Israel. Pull it all and let them exercise any form of "democracy" they want. It wasn't out place to try to plant the seeds of democracy anywhere in the world in the first place. Bring our money home and let them deal with it. ALL of them.

Notice how everyone except Obama has called it a coup?

That's because if it's a coup, all the money stops flowing into Egypt...

You know as well as I do that it ain't just Obama. For whatever misguided reason not a single president over the past 30 years, God...er..Reagan included, was sending money (and arms) to folks who didn't really like us much in the first place. #### about Obama all you want, But outside of Ron Paul, there isn't a single person who would occupy the chair in the oval office and have the balls to pull money.

John Kerry on his boat during Egypt upheaval, State Dept. concedes!

Looks like Morsy and the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) overplayed their hand. It seems that the vast majority of people of Egypt kind of like secularism and the freedom from government controlled religious oppression (seperation of church and state maybe?). More so than the extreme consolidation of government forced religion power that he and the MB brought to bear.

I must say that Delldude nailed this one.

I truly thought that Morsy (and the MB) would have a take it slow approach, knowing that the people would turn on him if he moved too quickly. I guess he/they couldn't help himself after being elected and having the support of the west. I do not support him nor his MB or their politics/religion, but I do support the democratic election process. I think they were fair elections and he was elected by the people. I am torn on whether to support deposing a leader in a coup just because I agree with the people who overthrew him.

He was either corrupted by the radicals to rapidly move to force the Sharia life on all in the country, or maybe he was the radical all the time.

The United States and the west in general is now in a quandary. Egypt is far too important to let slip into radical violence. I think we should continue to support the will of the people and do what we can to nudge the new leaders into having new elections.

I feel your pain. I felt the same way when I watched George HW Bush frolicking in his boat and golfing while mispronouncing Saddam after senting troops into a little upheaval in Kuwait. Are you guys that desperate?

Yep, it's a quandary - do we back the rebels and the military, or do we back the democratically elected Muslim Brotherhood president? If it's the first, then we can say that every American life lost in order to plant the seeds of democracy in the middle east has died in vain. If it's the second, the right can say that Obama supports terrorists. So I think the best course of action is to stay the hell out of it.

I don't care how important Egypt is - I don't support any kind of US involvement unless at least ONE side appreciates and respects that involvement. And, IMHO, if "the people" elected a guy with the backing of a terrorist group, how appreciative will they be, even if the US intervenes on their behalf? We'll still be the great satan.

I guessed you missed the part where the State Department so effortlessly lied to us about Kerry's whereabouts while Egypt burned. Of course, as much as this administration lies I'm surprised you pay any attention at all.

Pretty desperate to search so hard for a Bush connection. Lame

I apologize - how dare the administration lie about Kerry being on a boat when they should have been sending troops to Egypt to support the democratically elected Muslim Brotherhood from those people burning the city.

Don't worry about it KC, I heard that Kerry on his boat was in direct communication with Obama on the golf course the same day.

They should all be chained to their desk or strategically placed around the world in case of any scenario that might come up. No way any political official should ever have any leisure time. How dare him being on a boat on July 4th while a foreign country in the Middle East is in turmoil. He should have been there at Tahrir Square and demanded an end to all of that nonsense.

That is why we get the people we have in office. Who would want any of those jobs? It doesn't matter what happens or what they do, someone will say they should have done something different or been somewhere else.

What part of Secretary of State in charge of foreign affairs don't you understand? Once again, you like KC don't seem to understand that it wasn't the fact that both our president and Secretary of State were taking the day off while a coup was underway in Egypt, it was the fact that State found it so acceptable, and apparently ethical, to lie to the very people that put them in place and pay their salary. We could damn well be sure that you would have something to say about it if it were the Bush Administration lying. Double standard? You bet your ass!

I have to agree with Knot. Lying about what he was doing was stupid. Who cares if he was on a boat. SecState, Def POTUS .. are never out of communication. Never could understand the big deal about Bush in Crawford. The WH travels with these people.

My guess is they lied because they thought it would look bad. Idiots would say that he was out and and about when he should have been glued to his desk. Pretty stupid POV but what ever. Lying about it only made it worse.

I am always amazed when politicians lie about something. he after math of the lie is probably always worse than admitting the truth in the first place.
