Midknight Review -- new and revised: We can now say that Obama's Egyptian policy is an abject failure. The "Brotherhood's" decision to crucify its opponents was the first hint.

I took the position from the very beginning, that Mubarak's end came as a result of nothing short of a backing stabbing Hussein Obama. There was no thought given to the consequences of his actions, only a silly and immature fantasy that Middle Eastern Muslim leadership was made up of honorable men to the exclusion of the dishonorable. Turns out, both exist and in Egypt, it is the bad guys who have taken over.

Today, at the end of his time as president, we can safely say that Obama's Egyptian policy, fanciful and short sighted as it was/is, has been a dismal failure and may be the single most harmful influence for peace and freedom [at some level] in the whole of the Middle East.

Very bad news for Israel and the peace in the region. Since Obama thought it a good idea to abandon the region, there is no stopping evil Arabs from taking over and that is what is happening.

Today [August 17], we find out that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has taken to crucifying its opponents. President Morsi has declared Israel an enemy and pronounced “death” on all who oppose him. We can only hope the military can manage to remain in enough control to keep this, the largest Arab Muslim nation in the world, somewhat under control.

Obama has sat on his hands while Iran has completed its several "first" steps to becoming a nuclear power in the region. Heck, he went on vacation to Hawaii the weekend Iran first activated its center fuses and has not been in touch with Middle Easter realities since returning.

Syria is out of control.

Remember Obama bragging of responding to the Libyan disaster “in just 30 days?” 300 people died in that country before he decided to step in and pick winners and losers --- but Syria, well, nearly 30,000 have died and Obama is busy playing golf and campaigning.

After four years, he still has no foreign policy experience that is worth writing home about, does not understand the process of protracted diplomacy [and, so, none of that is going on anywhere in this world] and can’t see beyond his nose when it comes to unintended consequences.

Time to give him his walking papers. Maybe he can write a third biography.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
