re: #6 darthstar

Sounds like Biden’s response was an ill-timed one he got before he knew the extent of the situation in Egypt. Not to make excuses, but my guess is if he were asked the same question today he would say something like “Egypt has always been a US ally and we are watching the situation closely.”

Not arguing with your assessment but if true it would actually bother me more about the administration. Because if the the VP, and by association the rest of the administration, is not able to project even one day into the future on possible outcomes of civil unrest in an ally’s country, well that is very worrisome.
