Dems Shift Blame to CIA for Egypt Debacle

Seems there needs to be someone to blame the Egypt situation on here in the United States. The Democrats are not about to turn on themselves and blame Obama so they decided the CIA should take the blame. Maybe the CIA should. Maybe they shouldn't. The CIA didn't do Bush any favors with the whole weapons of mass destruction deal in Iraq, but he had to sit in the shit regardless. Obama should have to do the same. This is his administration. If in fact Egypt is lost to radical Islam then Obama can suck on the blame. Seems only fair. More from Gateway Pundit via FoxNation:

The debate over who “lost” Egypt seems to have begun.

Critics are openly questioning the quality of information and analysis given to President Barack Obama by U.S. intelligence agencies in the days leading up to the dramatic uprising against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. And they are raising questions about the effectiveness of his efforts to force the 82-year-old strongman to step down.

Administration officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, admit that some mistakes were made and some signals were missed. And, even as they frantically try to negotiate Mubarak’s departure and avert more violence, they argue that their options and leverage would have been limited even had Obama been warned long in advance of the unrest that would sweep Egypt.


Maybe the CIA did their job and Obama simply did not want to get involved. Who knows? It's still his administration, his State Department, his responsibility. Whether this turns out good or bad it's on him.
