It's confusing because these dolts have no foreign policy besides putting their thumb in the eye of our friends while appeasing our enemies. It is very confusing for Egypt when you have an administration that changes its stance over <http://www.newstimeafrica.com/archives/16045> and over<http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20110202/ts_yblog_theticket/white-house-now-means-yesterday-for-mubarak>and over<http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/babylonbeyond/2011/02/egypt-president-mubarak-must-stay-us-envoy-says.html>and over<http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2011/02/obama-administration-distances-self-from-own-envoy-to-mubarak.html>and over<http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-us-egypt-20110208,0,3689735,full.story> and again. CAIRO<http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110209/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_egypt_foreign_minister_2>– *Egypt's foreign minister has said he was furious at what he described as "confusing" messages from the United States in the early days of Egypt's protests*.

Aboul Gheit said U.S. statements, delivered in the first four or five days of the crisis, that change should happen "now" were unhelpful and disregarded Egyptian sensitivities, according to an interview transcript<http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110209/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_egypt_foreign_minister_2#> .
