The Daily Beast<\/a> reports a difference of opinion on what US policy towards Egypt should be, and I never thought that I’d form these words, but I have to go with John Kerry on this one;<\/p>\n

The tension between the national security adviser and the secretary of state spilled over into public view in the past week, when Rice laid out her critical appraisal of the Egyptian government, which contradicted Kerry\u2019s assessment that Egypt was \u201con the path to democracy.\u201d The now public rift has been simmering behind the scenes for months and illustrates the strikingly divergent Egypt policies the White House and the State Department are pursuing.<\/p>\n

The turf battles and internal confusion are hampering the administration\u2019s approach to Egypt, say lawmakers, experts, and officials inside both governments.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn Kerry doesn\u2019t agree with Susan Rice on big portions of our Egypt policy, and he made a deliberate and conscious decision not to mention Morsi in his Cairo meetings,\u201d an administration official told The Daily Beast. \u201cSusan Rice wasn\u2019t happy about it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ya know, I’m not a believer in that whole “Obama is a Muslim” thing that goes around, but when his administration tried to protect the Muslim Brotherhood\/Morsi government during the coup, then decided to not supply the new government with military aid after they were adamant about giving the Morsi administration that same aid, and they’re trying to ease sanctions against Iran<\/a>, though Iran has done nothing to earn that easing and their continued support for Al-Qeada-linked Syrian rebels, well, they’re not doing themselves any favors or dispelling the appearances that they’re creating. Now they’ve made me agree with John Kerry. Jerks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
