51. Your spin is shameless.
Edited on Tue Feb-01-11 02:03 AM by Radical Activist
Carter was obviously talking about US policy in a broader context, even as he said Mubarak would have to step down. Once again, that isn't evidence that Obama is actively working to keep him in power. It's grossly dishonest of you to repeatedly suggest that with no supporting evidence.

"orderly transition"

Transition: movement, passage, or change from one position, state, stage, subject, concept, etc., to another; change:

That's not a word one uses when they're suggesting that the same person should stay in power. You are being so fucking dishonest.

Once again, you can't make up your mind if Egypt should decide its future or if the US should intervene. Which is it? If Obama withdraws support from Mubarak more than he already has who do you suggest he recognize as the Egyptian head of state? Or does he have to continue waiting this out to see what the Egyptian people decide?
