Obama Speaks Out on Egypt: ‘I Don’t Think That We Would Consider Them an Ally, But We Don’t Consider Them an Enemy’

President Barack Obama made some curious comments on Wednesday about the current relationship between the United States and Egypt. In a sit-down with the Spanish-language channel Telemundo, he responded to the violent anti-American attacks taking place in the Middle East. He also delved into his views on whether Egypt is still a U.S. ally — and his answer may surprise you.

When asked by a reporter if the U.S. still considers the Middle Eastern nation a key supporter, Obama attempted to stay neutral in his assessment. But his response, regardless, paints a picture of a strained relationship that was not-so-long-ago in a much better standing.

“I don’t think that we would consider them an ally, but we don’t consider them an enemy,” the president proclaimed.

Obama Claims Egypt Is Not an Ally, But Not an Enemy | Embassy Attack

This assessment is starkly different than the one that former Vice President Dick Cheney gave back in 2011. During a speech to conservatives, he discussed former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who was, at the time, being urged to resign.

“He’s been a good friend and ally of the United States,” Cheney said of Mubarak.

Considering the ongoing fallout and political transformation following the Arab Spring last year, the loss of Egypt as a U.S. ally in a region that is anything but friendly to Western interests is noteworthy. After all, Mubarak supported the U.S. for decades.

Additionally, during the Telemundo interview, Obama discussed the notion that the U.S. is in a waiting and assessment period, as the country waits to see what Egypt’s response to the U.S. embassy attack will be. The president also reiterated his belief that the nation’s leaders need to protect U.S. interests there and that he’s hopeful that the Egyptian government, led by President Mohammed Morsi, will respond in a manner that is favorable to the American government.

According to the Associated Press, Morsi did come out today against the attacks. The leader has vowed to prevent other atrocities on foreign embassies in Cairo and claimed that the Egyptian people reject such “unlawful acts.” During a conversation with Obama, Morsi said that he condemned “in the clearest terms” the Libyan attack in Benghazi that led to the deaths of four Americans as well.

      how much money do we spend every year on foreign embassies? My understanding is that their only function is to help American citizens living and traveling abroad. If that is the case, maybe we should shut down the embassies and direct Americans to the local american military base.

Wow, the man who was most involved penning the Declaration of Independence, and the U.S. Constitution just does not understand the Constitution?

      “We don’t consider them an ally, but we don’t consider them an enemy”.

      Maybe BHO needs to read ALL the tenets of the Moslem Brotherhood before opening his mouth. Their agenda is:

      1) Completely destroy Israel.
      2) Convert the whole world to Islam (By whatever means necessary) with Cairo as the Capitol of the New Moslem Caliphate.

      The agenda includes the destruction of the United States. BHO is so clueless as to what the goals of the Brotherhood are it is pathetic. (Or maybe he knows and secretly approves of the agenda) The wishy-washy answers he is giving (ala Jimmy Carter) only is providing aid and comfort to the enemy.

      CUT OFF ALL FOREIGN AID TO ANY COUNTRY WHICH CAN’T CONTROL THEIR POPULACE AND ACT TO PREVENT TERRORIST AND RIOTOUS ACTIVITIES AGINST AMERICANS OR OUR EMBASSIES,EMPLOYEES OR STAFF!!!!!

      ASHESTOASHES, Okay, I think you missed my point about Jefferson simply being an Ambassador. SOY gives me the feeling that his aspect of the Constitution is pull everybody back from all of these countries and insert our collective heads in the sand. Apparently, the Ron Paul/Gary Johnson way of doing business in the world.
      You are right that comparing an ambassador position in eighteenth century France is far different from our embassies in today’s middle east. As far as the Muslim’s desire to conquer and rule the earth, we did after all have an Embassy in Moscow during the Cold War. I think they had a similar idea regarding the world. Standing at the East German, and Czechoslovakian borders for the better part of the ’80s decade reinforced that fact to me. Embassies and Ambassadors do more than provide good will between nations. They have to keep their fingers on the pulse of those other nations, and I mean that as in the old Agricultural Attache cliche. Hard to do if we have nobody there. Its a dangerous thing at times, but in my humble opinion, I feel that it is a necessity.

      and in an another “shoot first, aim later” moment for Obama…his administration is now backing away from the “not an ally” snafu Obama made.

      White House spokesman Tommy Vietor, Thursday says that the administration is not signaling a change in that status.

      “I think folks are reading way too much into this,” Vietor said. “‘Ally’ is a legal term of art. We don’t have a mutual defense treaty with Egypt like we do with our NATO allies. But as the president has said, Egypt is longstanding and close partner of the United States, and we have built on that foundation by supporting Egypt’s transition to democracy and working with the new government.”

      Seriously….enough of Obama already..the man is not qualified to lead, he never was, he never will be, he’s a self-approving idiot who loves the sound of his voice and the trappings of office and nothing much else. It’s time for him go the American people have suffered long enough.

Obama has never been available except for awards and to hear his name praised by the Hollywood crowd, so it is not outside of normal that he went campaigning as soon as he made these remarklably stupid remarks! He considers the islamists and al qaeda as HIS allies, while Israel and the Jewish people are definitely HIS enemies! His foreign policy consists of trying to buy the friendship of the islamic horde while showin his hatred for Israel and the Jewish people, outside of that, he just praises despots like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, while condemning Netanyahu and the new Canadioan PM!

      Embassy in Egypt and all Canadians there were returned. I do not believe that America under Obama is so dumb to support the Muslim Brotherhood, giving them money so they be able to kick us in the face, sure…they are not your enemy Obama..but they are the enemy of the real Americans, and Obama-you are not.

I do not fault the Jews for anything Tzion..but I do fault the Communist/Zionists who have hijacked the standing of the Jews.. I believe that the true Jews are strict adherants to God and tha Torah and they do not approve of all the bloodshed in the Midddleeast and are ashamed that they have been used.. No offense to you TZION..as I know that your heart has always been in the right place..Did you ever watch “Fabled Enenmies?” Being strict adherants to the Torah..would mean that a person lives in the Spirit of God..and has a special communication..The Zionists have fooled a great many people..The true Jews know that they lost Israel 2 or 3 thousand yrs ago because of disobedience and are waiting for the Messiah to return to reign there in that millenial kingdom.. That is what I await also..Things are not right there and they never will be until He comes,..

Jewish terrorists, no different from al Qaeda, Hamas, and Hezbollah founded Israel. Do some reading. Look up the Stern Gang and Irgun. Look up the Sergeants affair.

      @Ashes
      Mossad boarding the Liberty? How is that possible when the Liberty was never boarded. Moreover, Israel admitted to attacking the Liberty and almost immediately apologized. When did they try to blame Egypt? Better question: how would they have blamed Egypt? Israel attacked the Liberty with their French-built planes after having destroyed nearly all of Egypt’s Russian-built planes. Egypt didn’t have the resources to attack. As if that wasn’t enough, Israel was winning the war and so they had nothing to gain in blaming Egypt.

      Jerk- there are extremists in every culture. Extreme muslims, extreme Christians, extreme Americans, extreme Europeans. You can’t blame Jewish terrorists on Israel. One reason why I want to continue supporting them is because of the covenant with God and Israel. Even if Israel rejected Christ, God keeps his covenants and will ultimately protect the people he made a covenant with. Although the difference is now the covenant has spread to the rest of the world to whoever now wants to trust in Christ.

      They were not “democratically elected.” They were opportunistic totalitarians who hijacked the election process, after they deposed Mubarak on your behalf.

    SECURITY briefings.. that means SECURITY OF OUR COUNTRY AND OUR LIVES
    isn’t this his duty?
    Can’t he be impeached for derelection of duty in securing our country?
    Our elected officials need to get their act together and hold this B****** accountable

    unanswered questions:
    What did he talk to the MB about when he met with them in the WH.. did they talk about what was on their IPods?
    What was he really doing last night?
    When he said ” it was a mistake” was that because it was only intended to be protests and no one was supposed to die?
    Can a POTUS.. by executive order.. cancel elections whenever he deems it necessary.. ie in a crisis?
    Is this linked to our elections?

    Yes, thanks to obama, Egypt is no longer an American ally, of course, obama personally IS an ally of the muslim brotherhood and his comrade Morsi. The violence against Americans that we are seeing in Egypt, Libya, etc. is exactly what obama and Hillary had hoped for – this is what they call “democracy” – this is their “arab spring”.

    If we are to survive as a nation, obama must be removed from power – November can’t come soon enough.

      SOY, that was the result of the treaties made with Egypt following the Yom Kippur War. Granted, Egypt has had some rough leaders, but did do what they could to keep the peace. Even to the point that Israelis were vacationing safely in many Egyptian resorts. There were not attacks on Israel by Egypt since ’73 either. Okay, I know that you see no reason to provide them with the funding and military assistance since you wish to retreat, bury your head in the sand and have incestuous relations with your family.

Pull our troops, our diplomats and OUR MONEY. Let them rot in their own filth. Let them treat their women like cattle and they can turn their weapons on each other.

      We leave them with an ultimatum….”we’re taking off but if you mess with us ever again cities will glow in the middle east.”

      Then we secure our own borders. Screw political correctness and say any country in which we have no embassy will not be allowed to immigrate to the US…no exceptions.

If the Muslim people are so peaceful when is the “Silent Majority” going to speak out aganist this? I guess they don’t mind being owned by the extremists. Wait a few days and they will speak out with pressure from Obama to say something against this. They should have spoke out on 09/11 when it mattered, now it is just empty words.

    Egypt is the result of the American policy of supporting oppressive dictators throughout the Middle East. We oppressed the Egyptian people with our support of Hosni Mubarak.

    Look, we did the same in Iran, and it took the same path back in 1979 that Egypt is taking today. We have punished a whole lot of people for quite a long time.
