Advice by Obama to Mubarak Shows U.S. Dangerously Out-of-Touch

February 2, 2011

The last 2 years has seen a nonexistent U.S. foreign policy towards Egypt and the advice that President Obama gave his envoy to relay to President Mubarak this week reflects it.  Not only bordering on niaveté by the Obama Administration of publicly announcing to the Egyptian people that he (Mubarak)  would not seek another term,  [...]
