6. Obama and Egypt
Robbert de Bruyn ,   Comabbio, Italy   (10.13.13)
President Obama in his heart feels much sympathy for Islam. His actions continue to show that he is also in favour of the Brotherhood in Egypt. And regretfully the US and its allies will pay the price for what the President feels and his consequent actions. A sad development. Robbert
7. At this point he even doesn't try to conceal his motives.
tom ,   tel aviv   (10.13.13)
The financial situation of USA is only adding in his pursuit of Brave New World. Perfect storm is brewing, everyone should start looking for a shelter, NOW!!!! Future Readers of Crystal Ball, start preparing your "It Was So Clear From The Beginning"- explanations of what & why is going to happen.
8. I've given up trying to figure out Obama
michael redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (10.13.13)
Is he clueless or pro MB? If he's acted like he has because he's Pro MB, then one would have to assume that he's surrounded by top advisors who are also pro MB which seems unlikely. Jimmy Carter abandoned the Shah, which in turn ushered in the mad Ayatollahs. Was Carter clueless or pro-Islam?
9. Look around the world
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.13.13)
For that matter, look in the United States. Obama is clueless about a great many things. An intelligent third-grader would make a far better -- and well-informed -- president. The emperor has no clothes. And the emperor's wife wears silly dirndl skirts. The emperor's children constitute the beneficiaries of the emperor's Nobel Prize winnings, lodged safely offshore in the Cook Islands. That's the first family, folks. Dumb, dumber, and wealthy.
10. Lid coming off Obama ; Imposter in Chief
(10.13.13)
Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann talks about the Thuggery of Obama Vets want a million march calling to remove him Truckers , Union Members, have had enough of this imposter
11. Stop blaming the US
Mark ,   Cleveland, USA   (10.13.13)
Perhaps Israel should consider improving it's own diplomacy efforts with its neighbors, even if it means playing a price in land, instead of trying to push the Americans to install a dictator in every Arab country. Those dictators have played a huge role in creating terrorism and hatred of the US.
12. Sound reasoning - good article
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (10.13.13)
13. It is Obama Himself who is the Problem -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (10.13.13)
- His Personality that is. He has already lost the Mideast, no matter what He Does, He is a Looser. Arn.Sweden.
14. Why Obama will not support the Egyptian Military
David ,   Israel   (10.13.13)
Your writer misunderstands Obama. His Muslim past is so ingrained that he supports the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical Muslim groups against the A-Sisi's of the Arab world. So, yes he is going to miss the boat again because he follows his misconceptions instead of logic and common sense.
15. Aid to Egypt - ILLEGAL
Mark of Lewiston ,   USA   (10.13.13)
US aid to Egypt is illegal. Has been since the coup. Is more so since the US Congress closed the US government.
16. Congress Failed to Change the Law
Mark of Lewiston ,   USA   (10.13.13)
US Law prohibits US aid in to juntas that overthrow elected governments. Israel didn't lobby Congress to change the law before the US government closed. So the law is still in place. Oops. Maybe the new Israeli ambassador should ask Congress to reopen the US government and change the law. Of course that would mean the US paying its bills. If the Canadian will allow that.
17. Obama the clueless, ideologue.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (10.13.13)
Shula your analysis is totally correct. In the 1950's the United States agreed to help Egypt build the Aswan dam. Sec. of State Dulles had a falling out with Nasser. The United States withdrew its assistance. Nasser turned to the Russians. Result massive Russian arms shipments to Egypt. Ultimate result 1956 War, 6 Day War, Yom Kippur War. Obama, and his advisors, Susan Rice are inexperienced and are clueless regarding world affairs, specifically the middle east and Egypt.
18. He is awear of his decision and more....
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (10.13.13)
He is a de facto member of the brotherhood! (end) God bless Israel
19. The voice of wisdom
Eric ,   Toronto   (10.13.13)
"A stable, secular, military ruled Egypt should be more important to the US than a false, temporarily democratic Egypt controlled by Islamic extremists, who eventually would transform the country into an Islamic dictatorship." So well said and so right!
20. OBAMA NOT CLUELESS, HE IS THE ENEMY
ZIMBI ,   NJUSA   (10.13.13)
21. Comment on #15 to Obama still clueless on Egypt
George Weiss ,   Teaneck, USA   (10.13.13)
Firstly, the people of Egypt asked the army to save them from the MB. This was not a military coup but the removal of a corrupt and ruthless government. Secondly, the US has often supported non-democratic autocracies. There is nothing illegal about his. It is just good foreign policy.
22. Dear Shoula...
Maurice ,   Montreal   (10.13.13)
Did you really expect Barak HUSSEIN Obama to act against the MUSLEM BROTHERHOOD?
23. Dear Bloggers - Mr Obama & Rise of Islam
Son of Cyrus ,   UK   (10.13.13)
Dear Bloggers, Apart from the issues with Mr Obama as a person and as a President you are all missing one important fact. The powers that be have all agreed on a New World Order. Free Market, Religion & Strong Army and Security Apparatus constitute the pyramid of this New World Order. The idea in theory is to compete with cooperation with one another. Communism to go and excesses of Capitalism to go too. It was planned during Carter and really is Change Management Techniques. Obama was selected for his background to portray a new image of the Capitalist System to the World. Of course we all saw the collapse of Soviet Union with the help of KGB whose Colonel Putin is now running their show. As most of the oil in the World lies in Islamic Countries that is why they have been helping Islamic Regimes take over. It started in Persia (Iran) in 1979. It was a coup to overthrow the Shah and start this Islamic Resurgence as it is good business for all parties except the peoples of these countries. Obama is neither clueless or incompetent. He is basically following the plans already agreed upon for the New World Order!!!
24. His June 2009 Cairo speech
Imperator ,   US/Israel   (10.13.13)
Thank you to all those (except the few) that agree with Shoula Romano's article. I was at the Philly Airport waiting for my flight back home when the CNN screen showed his catastrophic Cairo speech. Few noticed the moment when the camera showed former Pres. Mubarak's face; he could not hide his disbelief and concern at what he was Obama was saying. And since then, it only got worse.
25. Sorry, He's NOT Clueless. It Is All Intentional
David H ,   Marietta USA   (10.13.13)
Other than a few token drone attacks, the US is making no effort whatsoever to combat terrorism. Obama supports the radical Arab governments that are paying for all of this. He has pulled out of Iraq and is allowing only minimum military activity in Afghanistan. He has left the American border with Mexico wide open for Muslim infiltration. As his close friend Jesse Jackson, also a dear friend of the State of Israel, would say, "He talks the talk, but he don't walk the walk." That is Eubonics for "he puts up a show, but it is a complete sham." Obama knows just what he is doing. It is American Jews who are clueless.
26. Let Us Remember........
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (10.13.13)
that Mr. Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in securing peace (where and when I do not quite remember). Let us also try to forget that Mr. Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.
27. To: No. 16
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.13.13)
The United States did not cut aid to Egypt when Mubarak was deposed by Morsi. So I would say that the United States has a highly selective interpretation of that law, wouldn't you agree? Look at all the unelected "governments" in sub-Saharan Africa that the United States supports. Look at Pakistan. Oops.
28. Broken America
(10.13.13)
America is broke no money to send to Egypt. Proverb 22:7 the rich rules over the poor and the borrower is servant to the lender – word of God changes not. So America is servant to China, UK, Israel and etc that America borrowed money from. Let Kerry knows they are servants that cannot impose Palestinians on Israel. They can learn good lesson from this word of God and pay off their debts - free consultation from the word of God of Israel.
29. Congress should wake up
Brod ,   USA   (10.13.13)
When Hussien the Islamist undermines America's national security interest by siding with the Muslim Brotherhood-Father of Islamist-Jihadist Terrorism around the world, and America's Number one enemy, Congress should impeach him. Congress should protect America from any Trojan Horse. America is a Judeo-Christian country. It is time for Congress to wake up and stop this insanity.
30. This article would have made sense
PaulD ,   Jerusalem   (10.13.13)
4 years ago, now it sounds ridiculous. Obama and his czars want to align themselves with Radical Islam. Obama has done everything to support Islamic regimes, and their political aspirations. It is not an accident, it is a very intentional policy. Turkey, Muslim Brotherhood, aiding Syrian rebels, and screwing Israel at every turn. Folks the US has become the biggest supporter of Islam. Why? Maybe they think that they feed the beast, and keep it on a short lease. Who knows what lurks in the mind of Radical Socialists?
