Obama took a break from hisvacation to speak some words about the Egyptian conflict that has taken over 600 lives so far over the last few days. Then he went back to his time golfing in the luxury retreats at Martha’s Vineyard.
Remember, Obama is the one who dumped tanks, F-16s, and teargas on the government of Egypt. During the conflict that has broken out, both sides are essentially using weapons connected to the US. This is his approach: dump weapons and cash on a violent region and hope for the best. To say that this strategy “doesn’t work” would be an understatement.
It’s no surprise that Egyptians continue to turn against the US government as we’re essentially making absolutely no sense while dumping weapons and cash into the country. We’re meddling without a purpose — and people are dying. Obama has been supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, encouraging them to push for a “second chance” in elections, and calling for their leader to be released. At the same time, he continues to arm the military which still has the weapons he’s been dumping on them for years.
The end result is that Obama is helping trigger a civil war that will be blamed on the United States for decades.
From the Washington Post, emphasis mine:
Since yesterday, the violence has gotten worse. Hundreds are dead in a country collapsing into civil war.
From the Associated Press:
The US position on this should be non-existent. We should have never armed the Egyptian government — neither the Muslim Brotherhood nor the opposition. We should have left them alone. Now, instead, millions of people will only remember that it was the United States who dumped the weapons that helped slaughter their countrymen.
Once again, Obama is strengthening radicalism and terrorist views of the United States. Every new family butchered leaves hundreds of people who despise the US government. This is how terrorism and anti-US sentiment is formed.
It will take decades of work to undue what Obama has already done — or possibly even longer. Stop the arms shipments. Stop the aid. Leave Egypt alone.
