US suspends aid to Egypt... ahhh... what's the word we're looking for here? Idiots. Yes. Can anyone make sense of Obama's foreign policy at this point? It's as if the thinking is guided by the conceit that if you don't act like a superpower even though you are a superpower then eventually indeed you won't be a superpower, which is the goal. Is that the thinking? Or is it even simpler than that: let's support whomever or whatever undercuts American power and influence because, well, ahh... America is bad and, ahh... whatever? In a region where there are few good options and you're merely looking for the least bad option the Egyptian military getting rid of the pernicious Muslim Brotherhood is one of those least bad options so... does Obama really not see that? Or is there an agenda in play here that is much more disturbing?
