State Department wonders why Egyptians can’t get along

"The U.S. State Department responded to Mohamed Morsi’s grab of near dictatorial powers, and to the protests of the Egyptian people thereto, with this statement:


The decisions and declarations announced on November 22 raise concerns for many Egyptians and for the international community. One of the aspirations of the revolution was to ensure that power would not be overly concentrated in the hands of any one person or institution. The current constitutional vacuum in Egypt can only be resolved by the adoption of a constitution that includes checks and balances, and respects fundamental freedoms, individual rights, and the rule of law consistent with Egypt’s international commitments. We call for calm and encourage all parties to work together and call for all Egyptians to resolve their differences over these important issues peacefully and through democratic dialogue.

Even by State Department standards, this is mush."...............

I heard they are spinning up Susan Rice to do a brief on this Egyptian situation. I wonder what the intelligence community has told her? I also wonder if we still have a Secretary of State? Have you seen much of her lately?

Obama said Rice knew nothing about Benghazi so she was sent to speak on the sunday shows anyway. I'm sure she knows nothing about the Egypt situation either so she is perfect for the job. :thumbsup:
