That a major reason for the inexplicable confusion in the Obama administration with regard to Egypt and the removal of the “democratically elected”  president Morsi, is the fact that he cannot validate the militaries rejection of a tyrants ability to manipulate “democracy”  for his one man- one vote- one time pleasure. That would definitely put a crimp in any future plans he may have to screw around in 2016, now wouldn’t it. He wants to support his friends in the Muslim brotherhood, but can’t politically. And he can’t support a military that has repudiated a tyrant. Anyone remember Honduras in his first year? Everyone wondered why, oh why, he was on the side of a tyrant who was trying to completely obviate and change their constitution in his image against both a congress,  and supreme court which were lined up against him, and with the rule of law? It becomes much clearer in hindsight,  doesn’t it?
