The Obama administration is signifying its strong disapproval of Israel and Egypt taking matters in their own hands in the last two weeks. Israel was accused of independent military action against Syria, and the Egyptian army of persecuting the Muslim Brotherhood after deposing President Mohamed Morsi.
DEBKA (h/t MZ) Washington is also highly displeased with the campaign the Egyptian army launched after the coup, with Israel’s active support, to root out the Islamist terror blighting the Sinai Peninsula. Israel and Egypt cooperate against terrorists in Sinai
US warships and marines are now parked off Egypt’s Red sea coast as a deterrent to the generals in Cairo.
For whipping Israeli into line, the administration used another method, i.e., Pentagon leaks naming Israeli air strikes as responsible for the explosions at the Syrian weapons depot outside the port town of Latakia on July 5, which demolished a fresh stock of Russian Yakhont (NATO codenamed SS-N-26) shore-to-ship missiles along with their advanced radar. Israel declined to comment on the report.
This over-exposure of alleged Israeli culpability certainly risked prodding Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Syrian ruler Bashar Assad into retaliating for the Latakia bombardment. Our sources find a second US motive behind this tactic – this one relating to the standoff between Washington and Moscow over Edward Snowden, who has been holed up for three weeks in a hotel in the transit area of Moscow international airport tin defiance of US demands for his extradition to face trial for espionae.
Putin has steadily refused to hand him over to America. The idea in Washington was to put the Russian president’s credibility on the line and embarrass him by showing Moscow as having “lost” a large consignment of Russian missiles for Syria.
For teaching the Egyptian generals a lesson, the administration resorted to tangible military steps: two amphibious assault ships carrying 2,600 Marines were moved to the southern Egyptian Red Sea coast. Gen. James Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, reported Thursday that the huge USS Kearsarge (1,800 Marines) and the USS San Antonio (with 800 Marines) had “moved up into the Red Sea and parked off Egypt,” a couple of nights ago, “because we don’t know what’s going to happen.”
DEBKAfile’s military sources report that the two vessels also carry a fleet of helicopters for ferrying the Marines to distant ground arenas. The US has placed additional Marine units at Signonella base in southern Italy and Moron in Spain on the alert with orders to be ready to move at 60 minutes’ notice.
To calm the tension, the US Embassy in Egypt said on its website Saturday: “We deny false claims in the Egyptian press that US naval ships are in the vicinity of the Arabian Peninsula and the Suez Canal to militarily invade Egypt.”
According to our sources, the US flotilla was brought in to warn Egyptian strongman Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and his generals that if they took their persecution of the Muslim Brotherhood too far, American Marines stood ready to step in. (Apparently the good General is ignoring Washington’s threats)
They are also on hand for two additional contingencies:
1. Should shipping through one of the world’s major world arteries, the Suez Canal, be imperiled – as in case of sabotage by the Muslim Brotherhood or the armed Salafists of Sinai, the US military would be there to take charge of securing international shipping in the waterway.
2. The US maintains 1,000 army personnel in Sinai, most members of the 1st Cavalry Division, as part of the multinational force which monitors the 1979 Egyptian-Israel peace treaty provisions. The Obama administration is keeping a close eye on the mounting Islamist violence in the peninsula and the Egyptian military campaign which was mounted, in close intelligence cooperation with Israel and the IDF, against two terrorist elements –the armed Salafist Bedouin associated with al Qaeda and the Palestinian Hamas of Gaza, whose operations have spilled out into Sinai.

It is too late for us to say “stay out of their business”..Odumbo made their business OURS! He started with Libya and Qaddafi, wasn’t enough had to go on to Mubarak and his ARAB SPRING, he does realize that Syria is too much for him to handle especially since he was caught giving Morsi’s MB 8 billion dollars!
No country has the right to tell another country what they should do or station naval ships close by to intimidate that country into doing what they want. Obama is creating terrible HATE for America.
Obama and all U.S. leaders must stop interfering in other countries. What happens in a Muslim country is NONE of America’s, Britain’s, or European countries business. STAY OUT OF MUSLIM COUNTRIES!
Obama is a paid Saudi stooge that is the only way you can make sense of his actions
TP, the Saudis have hated Obama since he got Mubarak kicked out. They refused to even talk to him for a long time after that. That’s why they have now given billions to Egypt to support the ouster of Morsi, who is Obama’s pal.
But why Bonnie? Are the Saudis afraid the Arab Spring will infect their barbarian kingdom as well? I had thought the brotherhood consisted of fellow Sunni muslime barbarians? Muslime barbarians that wanted to enact the same Sharia law as that seen in Soddy Barbaria.
Def, yes, they certainly are. It’s a little complicated. The Saudi Royal family wants to stay in power. They go along with their Wahabist sharia type society (that the MB also likes) to remain in power. But as you know, they drink the best Scotch and are surrounded by young blonde haired women all the time (not exactly sharia-compliant). The MB has stated, ‘first we get rid of the dictators (Gadaffi, Mubarak, and the guy in Tunisia), then we go for the Kings (Saudi Arabia, Jordan, UAE (if there is a king there).
The Saudi King was furious that Obama helped depose his good friend Murbarak and relations have been very cold since then. He also knows that the Obama-backed MB will be aiming for his head after Syria and Jordan fall. The MB is already set up in Jordan, waiting to take over.
F–k Obama, the sissy, commie, traitorous , muzz. In that picture with Netanyahu I wish Netanyahu would have grabbed his finger and bent it backwards until it snapped.
Glad as I am to see Obama fuming I am concerned about our boys stationed over there. Hopefully Obama will not do something monumentally stupid and endanger their lives while getting us involved in yet another foreign mess, one that could involve our greatest ally in that region no less!
T, with a traitor in office, that’s always a possibility no matter where they are.
Sadly true, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hoping he isn’t given the excuse he needs to send our troops in there.
If the Marines haven’t lost their gonads due in part to their own PC, they should tell obama to f*** off. The events in Egypt, Syria, etal. are none of our business.
Israeli and Egyptian actions are not an American concern.
Americans owe the animals in the middle east nothing but contempt for killing our soldiers and extorting our politicians for weapons.
those in America who want to join their wars is free to leave our nation and fund their own charities.
If Obama goes against Israel he is going to get a fight from the American people. People hate Obama but they love Israel. Watch where you walk Obama. Peace to all non-muslims who will stand with Israel.
Why elements of the USN and USMC are parked in the Red Sea has me worried. It could be as a threat to Egypt’s generals, but that could be a ruse.
I’m glad Putin is standing up to our caliph in chief.
Few folks realize how this has hit the s.o.b. He is largely responsible for the Brotherhood’s takeover in Egypt. He screamed for the removal of Mubarak and then he said the new government should have a “religious component.” When the Egyptian army was about to step in when things started to get out of hand, he called the top general and got him to stand back. Now what do you suppose he said to him to persuade him? The ace up his sleeve was the U.S. aid. And after Morsi got in and his animals rioted and attacked the U.S. Embassy, the African in the White House called Morsi who had been learning back ready to watch his animal followers torch the Embassy but Morsi quickly got into action and sent troops in to shoo off the mob and protect the Embassy. So what do you suppose Obama said to him? The same ace up his sleeve. But now the Egyptians have had it with him and his aid. He’s lost the magic wand. This is the first real defeat and it must be driving him crazy. He is just liable to send in some troops and they are liable to get killed and maybe at long last Congress will wake up and impeach him.
Imagine the clergy of any other faith blaming the Jews for their countries failings! It would be scandalous in the extreme! But we expect it from Mozzies and the Leftards say nothing…granting their silent approval.
A nation cannot have stability and allow vigilante militias. Egypt needs about 10,000 jail cells so the country can get back to the stability required to have an economic performance.
Again, this idiotic administration expects Israel to ask for permission to go about their sovereigne duty.
We know what BB thinks of that Muslim Slave, but now Egypt? This news just gets better with every article.
There are just no words in the English vocabulary to describe the evil of this Muslim usurper clinging to his self – proclaimed crown and throne whilst sabotaging peace wherever he can, especially endangering Jews and Christians.
It’s about time someone stand up to oblablama. Wish US politicians would also grow some backbones & balls!
nothing I enjoy better than pissing off ” barry” and his idiot’s, go egypt and Israel !!!!!!!!!
Egypt and Israel are not joining hands but doing what they need to secure their countries against obamullah jihadi Muslim brotherhood .
Now what will Republicans do ? sit by and let obamullah launch an attack on egypt ?
probably. they don’t have the BALLS TO TELL HIM TO BACK OFF
The mess in egypt, and in all of the mideast, is our fault, of course.

Monkey-face had too many whiskeys before this sermon.
The Jew created mayhem came to Egypt before Syria?
The Egyptian military does not want the Muslim Brotherhood’s Caliphate to be established, with Obama as Caliph or not!
Let him fume.
Did he call the United States – the United Snakes – twice?
Is there no antisemitism, no race hate, in this video? How come the letters h8 on a mosque can invite a FEDERAL investigation, while this gets a free pass?
Can you say Eric ‘I look after MY people’ Holder?
I have copied the video URL, but don’t know how to copy the whole clip. I hope many people do know, and have archived that for some kind of show-down or trial in the future. I would LOVE to show that to racist leftards who paint all white people (except themselves) as racist, and all black people as perpetual victims, and incapable of racism (even though recent polls have shown otherwise).
If an expert ‘videologist’ could assemble say 100 six second outtakes of Mikhail ‘racist’ Muhammad (video above), Al ‘antisemite’ Sharpton, and 5 or 6 more NAACP and NBP ‘leaders, they could make a very informative and educational short documentary. Hell, if it were done well, it could be entered in the various documentary sections of film festivals and competitions.
All original video would be kept in its full available length, to show the inevitable whiners how showing it ‘IN context’ is the same, or even more damning, than ‘showing it out of context’.
Obama is going to lose interest in Egypt when the black panthers start the coming civil war to force whites to clean out black panthers, obama , congress, moslems etc. He is going to be dealing with so many American whites with guns that his biggest worry will be not getting hung with the rest of them. We should back the egyptian army by removing the al qaeda leader, barack hussein obama from the political equasion worldwide. Let the party begin!
The new b.panthers are mobilizing against Zimmerman the “dirty Jew” and white America in general.
http://youtu.be/EwvWYiDvLZc
trayvon martin was not an INNOCENT TEENAGER what about the black on black crime and murders in Chicago and elsewhere.
oh so because Zimmerman’s father is white and his mother is latino he couldn’t possible be hispanic?
OJ walked FREE from court. Everyone knows he MURDERED his white ex-wife and her white Jewish friend. No whites rioted. No whites made murder threats.
What are the Black Panthers doing about blacks being mass murdered and hundreds of thousands of blacks being taken for slaves by Arab Muslims? Why are the Black Panthers not doing whatever they can for the severely persecuted black brothers?
It is important to know that during the time of Martin Luther King, Jr. MANY Jews fought with King for civil rights for blacks.
US/NATO waged war for months for Al Qaeda and other Muslim terrorists in Libya. Gaddafi was fighting AGAINST Al Qaeda. The U.S. backed Muslims perpetrated satanic atrocities and genocide on the blacks in Libya. The U.S. didn’t lift a finger to help the terrified blacks. Blacks were safe under Gaddafi.
As a human rights activist I took part in a street demo in Harlem, NYC, to protest the genocide. The black media and black speakers blamed the Obama White House for the genocide of blacks in Libya.
For 1,400 years, slavery has been a part of Islam. This is a video of wonderful Jewish Dr. Charles Jacobs who does everything he can to help blacks and free the slaves. If any Black Panthers read this, I challenge you to do everything you can and join in the fight to help free the slaves.
