We Can Thank Obama For Crisis in Egypt

President Obama, in June 2009 commented to a BBC reporter, calling Egypt's President Mubarak a “stalwart ally” to the United States, who has “sustained peace with Israel” and “has been a force for stability.” At an earlier date Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, on an Arab television network in Egypt said, “I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family,” and added, “I hope to see him often.” With all his pluses and minuses, at least Mubarak represented some stability in the Mid East and maintained friendly relations with the United States. Critically important, as well, Mubarak had a peaceful and friendly relationship with Israel, essentially holding off other Arab countries that had radical non peaceful intentions toward Israel.

Then President Obama and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton turned on Mubarak and called for his ouster with essentially no plan on what would happen thereafter. His subsequent removal led to a dangerous vacuum in a volatile region of the world. Their answer was to back the Muslim Brotherhood and made statements to the effect that they were essentially a harmless group with good intentions. Yet all evidence and history pointed to just the opposite. They were and still are a terrorist organization that desperately wanted to gain control in Egypt and establish a radical Islamic state with hatred toward the West, the United States, and Israel. At that time Obama invited them to the White House while at the same time snubbing our proven friend and ally Israel and Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Although many were very skeptical at the time, the Egyptian people voted Muslim Brotherhood leader, Mohamed Morsi, as President. They did this placing a great deal of faith in the United States and President Obama's lead. The U.S. is the most respected democracy in the world...so they thought. It did not take Morsi long to show his true colors and he began to attempt to turn Egypt into a radical Islamic dictatorship. The predictable happened and the people, desperately wanting a true democracy, revolted. All across Egypt anti-Obama signs are displayed criticizing him for backing a terrorist organization.

You will never see or hear this in the media, but the truth and reality is that Obama's foreign policy, particularly in the Mid East, is a disaster. We can thank Obama for the current crisis in Egypt.
