BO is looking for cover and someone to blame for his failed foreign policy practices.
Lucky for him, we have a surplus of dupes willing to oblige.

Why not ask the former secs of state Clinton and Powell to go without portfolio.
If anything happens, Obama of Arabia can zoom over and take charge of the mission to get them back.

And, why would ‘he’ have picked the Graham/McCain combo?
Both of these ‘gentlemen’ need to be retired.

Perhaps the Obama's could change their vacation plans for next month.
Cairo is lovely this time of year, and he could reenact his FIRST speech after becoming president.

ATTENTION EGYPTIAN MILITARY:
These men do not represent those of us who are Patriots. You have our permission to ridicule them and to wave smelly shoes in their faces. Do not let your shoes come in contact with them... they are unclean. Give all three a strongly worded letter... obama likes that sort of thing and then point out how obama has destroyed Peace in Egypt, wrecked Libya and is destroying Syria. Present him with a bill for damages.
Ok NSA... boys I’m joking son... I say I’m joking! Well not completely... ok I am joking... mostly...
