From the diaries ...

Morsi Increases Grip On Power in Egypt , Appoints Islamists | June 17, 2013 |

Shortly after bowing to the MB leadership, president Morsi was removed from office by a military coup d'etat not initiated by Washington, but with blessing and Saudi Arabian support. Billions of economic funding boosted the presidency of Gen. SiSi.

From my diary ...

Hillary showed up for the photo op, similar to the shout out of the White House today ...

Egypt and Qatar have been involved in the negotiations over the full 11 days of the violence. The Americans have no standing with the Palestinian people or its leaders.

In the opening press conference, it was astounded to see Hillary Clinton standing by the side of Netanyahu and in full understanding and support of the Jewish people of Israel. Clinton spared some words as lipservice for the rights of the Palestinian people. Benyamin Netanyahu used the press conference as a platform to reach out with pure propaganda and his talking points for domestic purpose only. The coalition formed by Likud with the far-right religious parties are putting pressure on him to go ahead with a ground invasion.

She's a "centrist," and criticized Biden's troop plans for Afghanistan, too. Maybe if she were actually somewhat of a leftist she would have gotten a few more votes and won in 2020.
