President Barack Obama didn't intend to signal any change in the U.S.-Egypt relationship last night when he said Egypt is not an "ally," the White House told The Cable today.
In an interview with Telemundo Wednesday night, Obama said that the U.S. relationship with the new Egyptian government was a "work in progress," and emphasized that the United States is counting on the government of Egypt to better protect the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, which was attacked by protesters on Sept. 11.
"I don't think that we would consider them an ally, but we don't consider them an enemy," Obama said. "They're a new government that is trying to find its way. They were democratically elected. I think that we are going to have to see how they respond to this incident."
That comment had Egypt watchers scratching their heads, especially since technically, Egypt was designated as a Major Non-NATO Ally in 1989 when Congress first passed the law creating that status, which gives them special privileges in cooperating with the United States, especially in the security and technology areanas.

Obama’s oops list gets longer every day,he makes Biden look smart.
For someone who says “Let me be clear” all of the time, explain why the White house has to clarify his remarks constantly?
Biden slipping into second place as, “ Gaffe Master “
“The White House Office of Clarifications, Misspeak, and General Incompetence (WHOCMGI) has released a clarifying statement informing Telemundo that the US/Egyptian relationship remains unchanged.”

Well, thank you Prez Boxofrocks Neville Chamberlain 0Bammy! If the Islamic nations ever decide to completely militarize, we’re going to have a global firestorm that’ll make World War II seem like a backyard fireworks display. Muslims pray that Prez 0Bammy will keep spreading his “appeasement mojo!”
I do. I consider soetoro and enemy of the United States, and guilty of Treason under Article III Section 3 of the Constitution, and any so supporting him.
