Obama Begs Egyptian Military: Please Don’t Arrest Members of Muslim Brotherhood or Al Qaeda in North Africa!

Unfortunately, that headline is deadly serious. Please consider Obama’s just-released statement concerning the deposed Islamist Morsi:

The United States is monitoring the very fluid situation in Egypt, and we believe that ultimately the future of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people. Nevertheless, we are deeply concerned by the decision of the Egyptian Armed Forces to remove President Morsy and suspend the Egyptian constitution. I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsy and his supporters…
…During this uncertain period, we expect the military to ensure that the rights of all Egyptian men and women are protected, including the right to peaceful assembly, due process, and free and fair trials in civilian courts. Moreover, the goal of any political process should be a government that respects the rights of all people, majority and minority; that institutionalizes the checks and balances upon which democracy depends…

Checks and balances? You mean like how the Democrats rammed Obamacare down Americans’ throats in 2010 against overwhelming opposition?
Considering the actions of President Lead-from-behind over the last four-plus years, I suspect Egyptians won’t be losing much sleep over the Obamaltimatum. It would seem that Mr. Obama has his cross-hairs fixed on Americans, not Egyptians.
