White House Backtracks on Obama’s Egypt Is Not an ‘Ally’ Comment: A ‘Longstanding & Close Partner’

Following much-publicized commentary from President Barack Obama on Wednesday claiming that Egypt, though not an enemy, isn’t considered a U.S. ally, the White House is in clarification mode. According to an administration spokesperson, the president didn’t intend to signal any change in the relationship that exists between the two countries.

Earlier today, TheBlaze reported about Obama’s initial comments, which were made during an interview with Telemundo, the Spanish-language television station. When asked by a reporter if the U.S. and Egypt are allies, the president responded, “I don’t think that we would consider them an ally, but we don’t consider them an enemy.”

White House Backtracks on Obamas Egyptian Ally Comments

Foreign Policy noted the confusion that surrounded this comment — and the interview in general, writing, “That comment had Egypt watchers scratching their heads, especially since technically, Egypt was designated as a Major Non-NATO Ally in 1989 when Congress first passed the law creating that status, which gives them special privileges in cooperating with the United States, especially in the security and technology arenas.”

White House spokesman Tommy Vietor spoke with the The Cable, an online journal that is part of Foreign Policy online. According to Vietor, Obama’s words weren’t meant to devalue the partnership that exists between the two countries.

“I think folks are reading way too much into this,” he explained. “‘Ally’ is a legal term of art. We don’t have a mutual defense treaty with Egypt like we do with our NATO allies.”

The spokesperson went on to say that, “Egypt is [a] 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.”

Watch Obama’s original comments, below:

According to The Cable, administration officials have said that the “ally” question wasn’t anticipated and that the comment wasn’t something that Obama had pre-arranged. The statements, some analysts argue, regardless of whether they were incomplete or not properly thought out, do carry weight.

      @CatB:

      Obama sees the Muslim Brotherhood as his friends, along with most of the extremist groups who have their hate for the US/Britian and Israel well established.

      Note one key difference in the phrase Obama used to describe Egypt “Partners”

      Partners in this context means they are united by a philosophy or ideology for achieving a set end; in this case the end of Israel and the downfall of the United States.

      “Allies” on the other hand are two countries with a shared interest that will stand with one another when their backs are to the wall.

      Obama does not see Egypt as an Ally or an Equal in the larger scheme of things; just a means to his ends, and those of Soros.

      Ah, yes, here to perpetuate the narrative I see. Here’s a clue (that I know will not make it from your eyes as you read it to your brain). Obama had zero experience at ANYTHING before becoming POTUS. His inexperience even now is staggering, his incompetence is legion. I’m not fond of Romney, but thus far his foreign policy statements are straight forward, direct and make sense. Meanwhile, your “experienced” Master is still floundering.

      How does it feel, to have to carry water for this incompetent administration? Does it ever bother you, when you log off and are sitting alone thinking, that you are so bound to uphold what you know is lunacy from your side?

Most of us grow out of that phase and realize that our parents knew a lot more than we did. These progressive dopes never grew out of that phase. When you elect a president who is stuck in this phase he has to learn the hard lessons of life at the cost of the entire country and every citizen within it’s borders has to suffer as a result. Progressives are the dirtbags of the entire world and have been since the world’s inception.

      These are the people that have crafted the big LIE that is this administration.

      I saw 2016 yesterday. Dinesh D’Souza has done a masterful job. I knew all that was in the film before I went. But he puts everything out there in such a calm and measured way. I do not know how he pulled it off. I have to say that , for me…,I cried at the end. It was chilling. It made me think of Hitler’s rise to power. Go after the youth.

I am telling you, the elite have control of this and Obama is nothing more than a puppet doing the will of the bilderbergers. They named themselves the Bilderberg Club. Since then, they have gathered yearly in a luxurious hotel somewhere in the world arrogantly plotting the subversion and silent takeover of constitutional governments everywhere. Their goal is a World Government run exclusively by their hand-picked puppets.

      Romney represents a position of peace through strength. You should try it some time. In a fight, we aim to win via awesomesauce. Winning is cool. It is a LOT better than worthless double-speak and endless negotiations. Romney really does believe in defeating terrorists and militant muslims. Obama, by contrast, is more interested in “free” birth control pills for women. And late term abortions, and voter id, and amnesty, and wiping out the American economy. Subtle things…

The demonic US news media reports that our Ambassador suffocated but refuse to report the truth that the Ambassador, the US Marine and two others suffocated on Muslim semen. Obama and Clinton will now go into hiding so no one can ask questions.

      I too, saw the movie and sat there in shock afterwards. I did know a LOT of things, but learned a few new things. My heart and soul hurts for our country and our people, who, a lot of them, have no clue.

      Americans who are true followers of Christ really need to fall on their knees and ask God for His forgiveness and divine intervention. BUT, WILL THEY:? My Pastor tells me that HE IS NOT CALLED TO ADDRESS POLITICAL ISSUES ON THE PULPIT. He completely missed the point I was making and that is, if we do not wake up our congregations to what is going on politically, then we are just as guilty as the guilty for doing nothing. He just doesn’t get it and I am thinking of going elsewhere, but I don’t know where to find a true Patriot christian church.

      I REALLY WISH SOMEONE WOULD CREATE A WEBSITE FOR EACH STATE, LISTING THE CHURCHES THAT ACTUALLY TALK TO THEIR CONGREGATION ABOUT POLITICAL ISSUES – NOT PERSUADING YOU TO CHOOSE ANYTHING, BUT GIVING YOU THE FACTS OF EVERYTHING AND THEN ALLOWING YOU TO CHOOSE.

      The Assemblies of God just DO NOT ADDRESS POLITICAL ISSUES and I for one, am very disappointed.

      Obama knows exactly what he’s doing – intentionally destroying this country.

      He really sucks!

      Just wait until he tries to take the guns from all of the Americans. Even Admiral Yamamoto was smart enough not to do that. Coming to a neighborhood near you soon. News at nine…

      Apart from President Hussein’s asininity, this article is bothering me. Egypt has NEVER been a “friendly” place for Christians to visit since the French left it. I don’t care what the “Egypt watchers” say.

      (WTF is an “Egypt watcher” anyway? Oh, that’s right, “Egypt watchers” are more useless PhD types who sit around finding ways to get paid big government bucks for “watching” Egypt for us without having to actually apply for and WORK a boring government job)

      But of course, as the article points out: “Egypt was designated as a Major Non-NATO Ally in 1989 when Congress first passed the law creating that status, which gives them special privileges in cooperating with the United States, especially in the security and technology arenas.”

      And obviously Egypt SHOULD have access to US technology and security! With all that US flag burning and “death to america” chanting, Egypt looks just like an American University filled with the wonderful 1st Amendment protected banter of America’s future leaders!

    In addition to my earlier 3 part post on another Blaze article, there is one more factor hindering Obama from effectively managing the Arab crisis. He simply believes he is the smartest person in the room. This narcissistic view has been cultivated by the free ride he has gotten all his life from those too impressed with his personality and oratory to see there is no substance. As a result of this coddling, he believes he can solve any problem simply by walking into the room or giving a speech.

    This smartest person complex can be seen manifested in 2 ways. First, he believes he does not have to listen to others. Thus he does not attend his security briefs, he does not meet with congress or his cabinet, his jobs council, or our allies like Israel, and he ignores the recommendations of his own Bowles Simpson commission. Those that challenge him are bullied and blamed. Second, he has surrounded himself with staff and advisors who do not threaten his superiority complex. Some think the same radical way he does. The other are selected for their lack of intellectual challenge to Obama. Anyone who thinks Joe Biden was selected as VP because he would be a good president could fit right in here.

    In total, Obama is simply not equipped to lead anything, much less the greatest country in the world, not in experience, not in upbringing, not in accomplishment, not in leadership, not in management skills, not in temperment and not in self image.

    They are not our ally. They are the freaking muslim brotherhood. Mumbark was our ally. He was Israels ally. He was a dictator, but a ally. But the military industerial complex wants boogeman in the middle east, thats why we are having al quidea topple all these peacefull muslim countries. We have to have a boogeyman to justify our military industerial complex and have reasons to take away the people liberties here at home. The sooner the neoconservatives figure that out, the sooner we can start making changes. AL CIA DA.

    Motto of the Muslim Brotherhood:
    - Allah is our objective.
    - The Prophet is our leader.
    - Qur’an is our law.
    - Jihad is our way.
    - Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.

    Muslim Brotherhood was created by an Egyptian and Nazi supporter, Hassan al Banna:
    “It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated; to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.”

      Considering Egypt just committed an act of war by attacking our embassy on 9/11, screw them.
      President Bush noted either you support us or you do not.
      The works of their new Egyptian government shows they are an enemy at this time. Their leadership history goes back to the Nazi party, they are allying with our enemies and their fundamental beliefs clash opposite of our own fundamental culture, laws and values. They are committing genocide around the country, Christians and Jews have been beheaded and crucified outside the capitol building.

      THE only reason you would continue to support such a nation is that either you are totally blind and should not play any leadership role at this point or because you support such values yourself President Obama. Is this administration that ignorant or that traitorous?

      DIVINEPROVIDENCE1776,
      I wanted to add…,The world is on fire. It is orchestrated.
      Our disgraceful Secretary of State (STAND BY HER MAN NO MATTER WHAT), Hillary Clinton’s closest Aide is Huma Abedin. Abedin was born in Michigan but grew up in Saudi Arabia.
      Her father,since deceased, was a big muckamuck in the Muslim Brotherhood. her Mother, still in Saudi Arabia, is a spokeswoman and Muckamuck in the Muslim Sisterhood.
      Huma Abedin is married to disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner who literally texted pictures of his weiner to CoEds. Weiner is Jewish. The Muslim Brotherhood despises Jews.
      This is so skewed!
      Huma Abedin Weiner is the woman who advises our “Illustrious” Secretary of State…,(no talents apparent but I did marry Bill)…,Hillary Clinton.Odd non?
      This country is in such deep doo doo. Is this administration incompetent or deliberate in their goals?

      If anyone reading this is unfamiliar with the cultural jihad, or the term DHIMMI, or the term TAQIYYA please get your learn on.
      A great primer book to read is Brigitte Gabriel’s, “Because They Hate”. She is now a United States citizen sounding the alarm in the United States. She lived what is happening to this country in her once beautiful country of Lebanon.
      This great nation is under attack on so many fronts it makes ones head spin.

The story is that a former Gallup employee who is now working with the the 0bama campaign. This one is really scary when they start suing the pollsters.

    Lets just clarify this whole not enemy, not ally comment. The state dept. just said that Egypt is our ally.So here we go, Egypt is an enemy of America with the “brotherhood” running the show,they are however,an ally of the democrat party. That is the undeniable truth. Between the incompetence of Barry and the rumbling bumbling ignorance of Hillary the dems just cannot raise the white flag of surrender fast enough. Who doesn’t want 4 more years of this stooge patrol running the show???As far as shooting first and aiming later,evidently Romney has more ammo in his arsenal than our Marines are allowed to carry guarding the embassy’s under barry and hillary’s brilliant leadership.

      “The Obama campaign apparently didn’t look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, “Forward” — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.

      Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name “Forward!” or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called “Forward (generic name of socialist publications).”

The only common purpose I can decern, from the joint efforts of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and President Obama, is the annihilation of Israel and all jews in the middle east.
