You said it well Bill, especially with the initials, they’re clueless.
The US has tacit control over the Egyptian military by virtue of funding. This was a wise investment. Maybe that will help to stave off a complete disaster.
>> the organization that has co-opted pro-democracy protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square
The word “democracy” in the context of Cairo is an absurdity. The Egyptian population has polled sentiment perfectly to the contrary.

What is to keep 1.6 BILLION Muslims from funding Egypt’s military or any other country’s military?
I don’t think that Saudi Arabia has any military- just Palace Guards. Also the same for Dubai & the UAE.
Funny- Tiger Woods is in Dubai while everyone else is at Pebble Beach.... why?
Every country in the world depends on what ever Intelligence service they have to decide which way they will bend when trouble happens.
Do they send diplomatic persons?
Do they send actual armed forces?
This country has millions of trained persons wearing the uniforms of the USA. They are trained, fed, housed, clothes, provided special body armor & guns & night vision goggles. They have drones which are very useful & other aircraft & ships.
At any moment, all of the might of the USA can be sent somewhere in the world to put down trouble-——but nothing happens unless we are directly attacked, such as Pearl Harbor, or until out “Intelligence service” tells us that trouble is coming.
With the quality of ‘Intelligence” that Clapper is demonstrating, each & every member of our armed forces military are in dangerous waters.
NObama certainly wasn’t ready to be a President of anything—even a local fishing club. He is further demonstrating that he cannot choose people of experience or quality to fill any other positions in Washington & this administration.
Until the general populace of the USA gets a grip on what is really happening at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in Washington, this country is staring it’s own demise right in the face.
When it comes tumbing down— they had all best look long & hard into the mirror for the culprits that created the mess.

Well said.
The only thing Hussein Obama is proficient at is affirmative action and that certainly isn’t a prerequisite to be POTUS.
He has basically surrounded himself with incompetents so from his most important responsibility of protecting our citizens right on down he’s a failure.
Hopefully we can survive another two years with him in the WH though I believe he should be impeached.

I can’t answer that question.
