Obama foreign policy in disarray

Jennifer Rubin writes in the Washington Post:
"Most immediate is the seemingly bizarre insistence on going forward with aid to the Islamist government in Egypt that failed to protect our embassy. The Wall Street Journal reports:

The Obama administration is in the final stages of organizing a $1 billion package to ease the rising debt burden of Mr. Morsi’s government. The U.S. also gives Egypt $1.3 billion a year in military aid.

While the Obama administration was critical of Egypt’s response to the unrest, senior officials said Washington should continue providing assistance to the emerging governments in the Middle East, particularly Libya, because it was in Washington’s long-term interest.

I’ll take a wild guess that Congress is going to balk at handing out taxpayer dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood government. Even Obama acknowledges that he doesn’t see Egypt as an ally, or an enemy. So why give it a billion dollars, if we’re not sure?

The images of American flags burning and the deaths of Americans at the hands of jihadists will change the perception of American influence in the region in the eyes of Americans, our allies and our foes. The administration has a full-blown crisis on its hands, and as yet, there is no sign it knows what to do about it."
