Part of Obama’s incoherent middle east policy was the ouster of our long time ally, Hosni Mubarak. Obama couldn’t get rid of him fast enough. Too many conservatives should have known better than to celebrate Egypt’s make believe quest for democracy. Obama’s influence on Egypt, like his influence on the United States, has had devastating consequences.
Egyptians no longer feel secure and are vulnerable to wild promises made by the Muslim Brotherhood; the heir apparent to power.
The tourism industry is suffering. People with sense don’t flock to unstable middle eastern countries.
Investors are not quite as sanguine as Obama regarding his imaginary Arab Spring. They’d sooner sink their money into Detroit.
Mohamed ElBaradei explains that the social fabric in Egypt is rapidly unraveling and the country is descending into a “black hole.”
He’s not sure when or if there will be a presidential election or a constitution.
What kind of state or regime we are going to have? Is it a presidential system? Is it a parliamentary system? When are we going to have a new constitution?
Yet another shining victory in the muddled up mess that is Obama foreign policy.
