Worthless? You’re being kind. Kriminally negligent and morally/ mentally halfassed is closer. The story says the US gummint had no idea that the UAE had an Air Force on the ground in Egypt. Tha’t disgustingly incompetent. But now some State Dept Dick claims the strike did more harm than good. Killing Muzzies is good. And why would they have any credibility starting now?

Spot on with everything you said. The US will do nothing to suppress Islamic radicals, it is up to Egypt and UAE to take care of their own security issues.

I’ll bet Israel knew about it. And the Saudis. Of course they weren’t about to tell the Obama regime either.

I believe that there was a statement from Egypt warning that the situation in Libya would threaten the security of Egypt. So it should not come as a surprise. If Egypt invaded Libya, what would the WH do about it, send Kerry to draw a red line? Good luck with that. The whole world is festering with unhappy souls, waiting for the spark.

U.S. officials told reporters that the move caught the United States by surprise, potentially dealing a blow to relations between Washington, Cairo and the Emirates.
This is very strange, that these attacks would come have been known for more that a month in the public domain. The person that wrote this statement is an ignorant newbie or something worse. I hope for the first.

What the Eyptian military did is impressive. They didnt wait when they saw that the MB was a threat, and got rid of them when they had a chance. If only the US had done that with ISIS when the nature of the beast became obvious.Not only do they know the score, they know what means what in the region (Plus, they have Morsi's brains to pick).
