WASHINGTON — The Obama administration refuses to back Egypt’s attacks against the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL), which were launched after the jihadist group savagely beheaded 21 Egyptian Christians. On Wednesday, a reporter asked Rear Adm. John Kirby, the outgoing Pentagon press secretary, “Do you support Egypt’s right to bomb ISIS targets in the wake of the Christian Coptics being killed?” “We aren’t taking a position here in the Pentagon on these recent strikes by Egypt…we weren’t notified ahead of time. We didn’t participate or support them in any way, and we’re not taking a position on it,” ...

“We aren’t taking a position here in the Pentagon on these recent strikes by Egypt…we weren’t notified ahead of time. We didn’t participate or support them in any way, and we’re not taking a position on it,” ...

Breitbart has to provide a scandal-per-day, given their audience.

OTOH, I notice they didn't issue any note of disapproval or diplomatic protest at Egypt's actions.

Since the Carter era, we had provided $1-$2 billion per year to support Egypt, a payoff for peace with Israel, part of a package of bribes we gave to the Mubarak regime. Then we had the Arab Spring and he was deposed. Morsi arose and was deposed by the army and a friendly young general, al-Sisi, has taken up the Mubarak-dictator role. But in the midst of this, the Saudis ponied up a commitment of $15 billion to Egypt spread over a 7-8 year period supposedly. So the Saudis bought up Egypt and they did not even take phone calls from the Pentagon for quite some time. At least, that is what is reported.

OTOH, Egypt needs American arms and munitions to keep its military/security forces operating so there is still some quid pro quo.

Of course, none of that is quite as exciting as Breitbart pretending there is some scandal here. Egypt took action against ISIS on their own which is exactly what Obama loves with his leading-from-behind nonsense. And Egypt is the largest and most influential of the Arab states, the Big Dog of the Arab world. So Egypt doing this legitimizes these independent strikes on ISIS and encourages other members of the coalition to do more, again, exactly what Obama's regime wants them to do. This situation is similar to the recent Jordanian air strikes on ISIS.

"Given their audience"?? What does that mean? Or are you just baiting?

Egypt took action against ISIS on their own which is exactly what 0bama loves with his leading-from-behind nonsense...the Big Dog of the Arab world. So Egypt doing this legitimizes these independent strikes on ISIS and encourages other members of the coalition to do more, again, exactly what 0boma's regime wants them to do.

Nothing of the sort. You can't actually believe this, can you? ISIS and the Arab Brotherhood are obviously 0bongo's homeboys. What 0bongo wants is what they want; a sweeping, expanding Caliphate.

Adolf 0bongo has NOT lined up his ducks in a row. No such calculation has been made to "encourage" or legitimize coalition involvement. Are you watching the same action as I am? 0bongo's infamous OPERATION: "Arab Spring" in both Egypt and Jordan has failed miserably.

His Muzzie brethren are about to take a beating unless he threatens to take military action against both Egypt and Jordan, OR actually demands the UN stop it. The guy would be thrilled to turn over the key to the Countdown to Armageddon.
