US policy so far had been convoluted - it wasn't calling it a coup and it wasn't not calling it coup. American officials were furiously backtracking for days after Mr Kerry's comment, but the statement could no longer be undone.
This is what we get when a buffoon is appointed to a high level position by an inept clown.
We supported the Arab Spring and the Brotherhood.
The people of Egypt aren't as stupid as Americans. They don't forget.
They don't have allegiance to US political parties.
Now explain what you would have done if you were in charge.
That's a good question. What should we do? McCain calling for cutting aid, is just him being typically out of touch with what's going on over there. Our aid is insignificant when compared to the aid the military has been promised by the other Arab Nations. So, keeping a little bit of $influence$ in place may help down the road. Truth is, if we want to affect what's happening in Egypt, we need to exert some pressure on Saudis, Qatar etc. to get them off the $influence$ bandwagon. It's a complicated situation and probably one that we(the US) have little means of "directing", but it gives the Right some potential "scandal" fodder I suppose.
Oh, things would have been so different if we just had a Republican president!!!
Mubarak would have still been in power, and he would be sending us 1.3 billion dollars in foreign aid; everyone in the world would love the US; and all the arab countries would be making peace with Israel; and everything would have been just fine!

The military took over, plain and simple.
So I guess we should have invaded Egypt to keep Mubarak in power, started a war with the Egyptian military/rebels, and then occupied another country? That's worked out so well for us in the past--I wonder why they didn't think of that!
Our credibility has been pretty **** way before Mubarak was ousted.
