When caught in a lie, this Administration just keeps telling the same old lie. What their strategy is for doing so, is beyond a reasonable explanation that does not indict this Administration for political fraud.

Understand this,  we have been driven out of Yemen,  totally.  The Embassy is closed,  our personnel had to run for their lives, the government we supported is gone,  and all our capabilities as to intelligence gathering have been destroyed   . . . . .    and in the face of this,  the Administration wants you to believe that they are successful in their anti-terror strategies. 

You simply cannot define "Losers" in more graphic and specific ways than what has happened in Yemen since Obama declared that country to be an example of his foreign policy in the Middle East  . . .   and this is the 10th such such example of "Loser" I can think of,  off the top of my head  (the red line inSyria,  Egypt/Jordan alliance to our exclusion,  the utter collapse of Iraq, the failed war in Afghanistan,  the Bergdahl exchange that re-enforced the leadership of the Taliban while we are at war with that terror group,  the utter collapse of Libya, the disgraceful fall of our Benghazi Embassy,   the Egyptian/Saudi alliance to our exclusion, the nuclear advances Iran has made while Obama lives in our White House,  and his idiotic and near criminal treatment of best ally in the Middle East.  

Sadly,  Yemen is a perfect example of Obama's Middle East policies    . . . .     absolutely perfect.  

Just to be clear: Obama is our first president to orchestrate a trade of enemy combatants for an United States soldiers. That has never happened before.

He also paid 5 million as "bail money" for the freedom of 7 American hostages held by Muslim Brotherhood terrorists,  in Egypt.  Call it what you will.  In this case,  the US,  under Obama,  agreed to pay the 5 million in exchange for these prisoners.  Since there was no trail in sight,  "bail" is only a part of the word games played by this Administration.  Read the story at Fox News.

McCain complains that the US has no credibility in the Middle East.

(CNN) – It’s high time for the United States to cut off its $1.3 billion in aid to Egypt as the military regime cracks down violently on protesters, Sen. John McCain argued Sunday.

The Arizona Republican added the U.S. has lost its credibility in the region after failing to follow its own law that requires suspending aid to states overtaken by a military coup–though the U.S. has not officially described the recent regime change in Egypt as a coup.  

Editor's notes: Here are a number of reasons why McCain needs to sit down and shut up:

1.  First, his "principles" are out of whack.  He complains about the anti-Democratic Muslim Brotherhood being taken out of power by the military,  when,  as a point of fact,  the Muslim Brotherhood only used the  democratic election process to win power,  looking to establish Shira Law and rule Egypt as an oppressive dictatorship.  We should never forget that it was the Muslim Brotherhood that murdered Anwar Sadat,  Egypt's very pro-Western,  very popular president,  back in 1981.  The Brotherhood has been around for decades,  and has always been militant and subversive.  

2.  Two, the military only facilitated the will of the Egyptian majority.  Understand that 33 million Egyptians demonstrated in the streets of Cairo,  against Morsi and his band of Islamic thugs.  In the strictest of terms,  therefore,  there was no military coup in Egypt - the military only controlling the obvious will of the people.  Without those demonstrations,  Morsi would still be in power. And,  when the fighting comes to an end,  Egypt will have elections and a non-military,  civilian government, once again.    

3.  The millions given to "Egypt,"  is money actually given to the military, in that country.  The aircraft given to that country was,  of course,  actually given to the military.  To cut off this supply of funding,  would be to permanently destroy what is left of Egyptian/American diplomatic relations.  

4.  Contrary to whatever McCain is thinking,  we need the Egyptian pro-American government to remain in power.  That is critical and for the following reasons:  

-- continuation of the Camp David Accord with Israel; 

--  the free flow of oil and commodities through the Suez Canal; 

--  a working diplomatic relationship with those who represent a Middle East population (in Egypt) that is larger than all other Middle East nations combined.  If Egypt falls into the hands of a Radical Islamic regime,  the existential danger to our homeland increases immeasurably.  

Obama defends giving jet fighters to those who are our avoid enemy. Why?

Can you believe this bit of literary tripe.  Besides being written on an 8^th grade level,  Hussein O. tries to justify his sale of 20 F-16 top of the line jet fighters  and more than 200 Abram tanks to the Muslim Brotherhood, with this letter.  He does not deal with the question as to “Why now?” 

Look,  the Egyptian military was a “friend” of the US back in the day before Hussein O. backstabbed Mubarak.  Today,  it is being reported that Morsi,  the Isreali/Western hating Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt,  has replaced the top military leadership of his country.  Will Morsi move “to the center,” and honor the Camp David treatfy,  signed during the Carter years?  No one knows,  and that is the point:  “NO ONE KNOWS.” 

So why now?  It is not that the Egyptian air force needs these planes.  Heck,  they already have 220 fighter grade air craft.  They are not about to run out of money.  Heck,  we give them 1.5 billion a year,  money that can be used to buy these planes  --  the US effectively buying these planes for a military that might decide to go after the destruction of Israel. 

And, so,  the question remains:  Why now?  No one on the Left has an answer to this question.  Logic-minded misfits,  all.
