Washington, DC – With Obama’s coddling of the opposition in Egypt, which is led by the radical Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, and the administration’s apparent willingness to mainstream this extremist group politically, one must ask hard questions concerning motivations. Although, whether the Obama State Department is completely incompetent or truly craven in their dealings with this severe security threat to the entire Middle East region, the result is almost certainly going to be the same: an abrogation of Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel, and the uniting of a country we’ve armed with some of the most sophisticated weaponry with the most radical forces for war from Cairo to Tehran.
The whole world is watching, and it is obvious that the conclusions that are being drawn; by our friends and by our enemies; are not good. The extreme forces whose only goals are the establishment of a worldwide jihadist caliphate, the destruction of our most important ally, the nation of Israel, and the death of as many Americans as they can bring about, are taking great comfort and encouragement from the events in Egypt. And our friends are concluding that the United States is at best unreliable as any sort of guarantor of the peace, and at worst is now allied to some degree or another with their enemies.
The similarities to what happened under a weak Democrat President in 1979 are striking, although Jimmy Carter took a much more passive role in the tragic downfall of Iran than Barack Obama seems to be taking in Egypt.
Neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton seems to know how to simply shut up. Every time they open their mouths they are making things infinitely worse for the United States and for the stability of Egypt. Is this purposeful? Or are they and their minions simply stupid?
Obama is reportedly asking President Mubarak to step down immediately, even though he has said he would not run in the next election which is scheduled for later in the year. If thousands of people in the streets are the deciding factor in such historic matters, matters that are critical to a nation’s stability, and a whole region’s peace, why was Obama so quiet when the same thing happened in Iran, before that radical regime crushed the dissent of its young people under its boot? Why is Obama himself still in office? After all, last fall well nearly two million Americans marched against his policies in Washington, DC. Why do the demands of a Muslim Brotherhood-inspired mob have to be acceded to, while the concerns of patriotic Americans marching peacefully can safely be ignored?
So, again, one must ask the key question: Is Obama’s goal the destabilization of the Middle East and war? Has he made friends with our enemies and enemies of our friends? Or is he just dangerously naïve and incompetent? Take your pick. The result is the same. Our enemies will make sure of that.
President Ronald Reagan’s foreign policy wasn’t perfect, but his firm Peace through Strength stance drove back the forces of tyranny throughout the world, granting billions of people, including Americans, the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of liberty in the ensuing decades. Our enemies feared and the friends of freedom were empowered and encouraged.
Barack Obama’s policy, which is at best one of weakness, is certain to bring about war, and death, and destruction, and tyranny for God only knows how many of our fellow human beings. And America herself is not immune to the consequences, as we learned in two world wars and on 9-11-2001.

Both
Yes!
The answer is “BOTH”
Considering the fact that all the left wing Marxist groups that were so active here during the Bush presidency have gone to the mideast, I think war is the goal.
All of the above.
Because this, according to the lapdog media, is “the most intelligent president EVER,” it is his plan, of course.
I wish I could morph brocko with Maxwell Smart. He is the “would-you-believe” president. Every time he trundles out a lame solution, and it is found lacking, he comes back with “would you believe?”.
“We are for the stability Moo barack, the non-dictator, has afforded us”.
“Would you believe we are for the Egyptian people?”
“Would you believe we are for the leaderless mobs in conjunction with another lame nobel laureate?”
“Would you believe it’s not really our business?”
“Would you believe it’s none of our business; but orderly TRANSITION (hint, hint, ahem, ahem) is the only way to go?”
I first read the title as
“...or is he an incompetent version of Jimmy Carter”
Now THAT’S incompetent.
.....and he has no moral compass, unlike Jimmy Carter.
Our president is being called Zero for a reason.
BOzo is to busy trying to figure out how many states there are to think about Egpyt.
Hey, give Carter credit - he sealed the Camp David treaty. Obama has undone that - making him WORSE than Carter.
Who is this guy ? Where did he come from? Was he hatched,created in a lab,invented by some mad scientist? How come all his records are hidden or are they non existant?
At least he gets to be relevant.
Barry Soetoro makes Jimmy Carter look like Reagan.
Badabing.
