Quote:I don't know how much the west financed, but the administration was tacitly supportive of the Arab Spring and even worked with the Muslim Brotherhood to take control in Egypt. Once they got control, we saw what the MB really was, which was nothing more than a political extension of Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. I don't think the administration has yet to denounce the MB, and again, they only weakly supported the Egyptian military when they stepped in and took control after it became clear Morsi was not going to provide the kind of leadership that Mubarak had.


As brutal a dictator as he was, he helped to maintain the peace between Egypt and our ally, Israel. Morsi made it clear from the start that he was not going to be inclined to follow suit.

The Muslim brotherhood had been around for a long time they didn't stand a chance at over throwing Mubarak until we decided to back them. How much is debatable but we openly backed the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt which started this whole mess we have in the Middle East.


I agree ISIS is an extreme threat so much that now more than ever we need a secure border but that's not happening.


I don't think we need ground troops in Syria and Iraq a heavy air campaign not this Ticky tax stuff Obamas doing would wipe them out.
