Egypt to expand Russia cooperation after fall out with US: FMEgypt is taking a more "independent" tack and broadening its choices, he said.
"Independence is having choices. So the objective of this foreign policy is to provide Egypt with choices, more choices. So I'm not going to substitute. I'm going to add," he said
another stupid Obama move ; suspending some military aid ; including re-supply parts to Egypt a few weeks ago.
There is a law the US cannot provide aid to a junta gov't; but Congress has been looking the other way. Never said a word.
This action (suspension) was the same week there were small organized disturbances by the E. Muslim Brotherhood.
Obama could have just left the status quo; there was no call to suspend aid - and he didn't during/ or after the overthrow of Morsi.
Amnety International was making noises about "democracy" (a fine idea; but not at the expense of a stable, functional nation).
IMHO Amnesty got to Obama, or one of his aids - who knows? Obama is so unengaged.
Amazing how Obama cannot even leave well enough alone; muchless drone the heck out of the planet.
At least he didn't invade Iraq, just escalated Afg., and led the NATO overthrow of Qaddafi to turn Libya into a 'terrorist state'
Just another hacking down the fairway with Eqypt now; leaving an opeing for the Russian to get their Bear Claws into the ME.
Syria was their only real area of influence, now we just opened the door to Egypt.
How's that for "change?"
