“SMART DIPLOMACY:” “The Obama administration is supporting Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood in the current crisis of the regime. That is my reading of Elise Labott’s CNN story and Matthew Lee’s AP story on the administration’s position. The Obama administration has supported the Muslim Brotherhood right along. See, for example, the Daily Beast article by Josh Rogin and Eli Lake documenting the administration’s ‘revisionist history’ of Obama’s approach to Egypt.” One wonders why they are so enthused about the Muslim Brotherhood. It certainly doesn’t seem to be enhancing our popularity among Egyptians.
