Wow, really? Some people like to celebrate Anne and Obama? The inep US government and its obvious antiIsrael pro nazifying arabism.? Tuut tuut. Give us a fracking break.

What exactly is your point? Anne Patterson is a career diplomat who represents the official views of the USG. She is not an independent agent. She is responsible for implementing US foreign policy.

Career diplomats serve the President and the USG regardless of who is in the WH. If someone has a deep disagreement with that policy and cannot support it, then they can resign. Some have over our policies in Vietnam or the invasion of Iraq.

I don't lump Patterson and Obama together when it comes to who is to blame for our foreign policy mistakes and bilateral relations with Egypt. Obama is responsible period.
