Obama vs. US Senate - Egypt Crisis

Guardian - Egypt Live: Reports the following in its 8.17pm post, " Two Republican senators are calling on the Obama administration to suspend US aid amid spiraling violence in Egypt. ".

Lets Get Real:

The Oval has a problem folks, today as reported there were 60 deaths in Egypt, a few days days ago it was over 600, and the response of the Oval, well weak would be a understatement, so what does the Oval do, it could make it self feel good by cutting off military support to Egypt, and the reaction, the US would lose influence and the Gulf States would pick up the short fall, or even worse the Russians, the US needs the Generals to keep the peace deal with Israel, fight the Al Qaeda terrorists that have started to attack the Egyptian Army and make sure the Suez Canal is secure.    In other words the Egyptian Army has most of the Ace cards, the Oval will have to make sure the US Congress does not cut off support for Egypt, that the new Cairo Government starts talks to bring about democratic Egypt, but also keep the Muslim Brotherhood in its new box.    There are going to be more deaths in Egypt folks, its the lesser evil choice in this deadly game, its not nice, but its the real world. 

A Weak President, A Weak Reaction - Obama's Egypt Crisis

This is the kind of weak response you get from a weak President, yesterday President Obama stated the following, " Let me make one final point.  America cannot determine the future of Egypt.  That's a task for the Egyptian people.  We don't take sides with any particular party or political figure.  I know it’s tempting inside of Egypt to blame the United States or the West or some other outside actor for what’s gone wrong.  We’ve been blamed by supporters of Morsi.  We’ve been blamed by the other side, as if we are supporters of Morsi.  That kind of approach will do nothing to help Egyptians achieve the future that they deserve. 

 

We want Egypt to succeed.  We want a peaceful, democratic, prosperous Egypt.  That's our interest.  But to achieve that, the Egyptians are going to have to do the work.  ".  The above is why everyone from Iran to Russia thinks Obama is weak folks, POTUS wants to be loved, well in the international politics its better to be feared folks, fear goes a long way, weakness gets you nothing but scorn.  Thus the problems that the Oval has at the moment.
