Originally posted by whodeyHis refusal to 'back' Egypt with intelligence and material is interesting but totally understandable. The pundits are convinced Obama has no strategy.

It is equally as interesting that Obama is not backing Egypt's attacks on ISIS in the region.
Obama is "slow walking" U.S. military power, refusing military supplies and intelligence to those fighting ISIS in order to allow ISIS free rein. He forecast what path he would take years ago, which is the path he is following today.

OBAMA - From his book, Audacity of Hope:
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Originally posted by whodeyNo, I don't think he knew what was coming. The book was 2006 and at that time he wasn't thinking of his having a chance of winning the U.S. Presidency in 2008. As reported afterwards, his handlers were thinking 2012 at best. Mrs. Clinton was anointed and unbeatable. Later she fell of her own weight, not from anything Obama did.

In 2006 Iraq and Afghanistan had reached a point where Al Qaeda was beaten back. I don't think he knew at that time he would be in a position to turn things around against the West and be in position to indirectly aid Muslims in the creation of ISIS, as he has now done.
Originally posted by whodeyThat's like standing by the pyramids and saying 'remove me, and there will be sand!
Gaddafi once predicted that if Obama removed him, the entire region would devolve into chaos.
ISIS is on the move in Libya and will soon prove Gaddafi's predictions as true.
I bet Saddam Hussein made similar predictions. After all, the US had put him in charge in the first place didn't they?
What you are forgetting whodey is that the US has been deliberately engineering chaos in that region since at least the second world war. The fear was that if the Arabs ever got together, they could have a near monopoly on oil.
Originally posted by twhiteheadGood thing the U.S. did that too. Otherwise if the Arab nations had "got together" an oil monopoly named OPEC may have been created!!!

No, wait a mo. The Arabs did get together and did create an oil monopoly called OPEC. Guess the U.S. failed in what you said was their mission. This indicates the U.S. isn't as powerful as you think. 🙄
