Obama Speech in Egypt

Obama hailed his speech in Egypt this week as a breakthrough in relations with the Muslim world and a new approach of speaking frankly about the issues.
Obama was so "frank" that he failed to cite the human rights violations, state torture and murder that routinely takes place in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Instead, we have the images of Obama laughing and chatting with the King of Saudi Arabia and Obama once again bashing the behavior of the United States and of Israel to a cheering audience in Egypt who loved Obama's anti American rhetoric.
Did Obama speak frankly and ask either country for help in controlling and condemning the Islamic Terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan? No, of course not.
Did Obama ask for help in isolating Iran and pressuring them to cease their nuclear weapons development or to retract Iran's promise to wipe Israel off the face of the earth with an atomic bomb? No, of course not.
Did Obama speak frankly and ask for Saudi Arabia and Egypt to cease supporting Hamas and Hezbollah? No, of course not.
Did Obama point out that the Palestinians could have had their own country in 1948 if the Palestinians and the Arab states, including Saudi Arabia and Egypt, would have accepted the United Nations two-state resolution a the time, but instead Obama's host countries rejected the solution and declared war on Israel? No, of course not.
Did Obama speak frankly about 60 years of Palestinian leadership that gave its people corruption, tyranny and religious intolerance and how the Palestinian leadership has chosen poverty and hate rather than accept any settlement not accompanied by the extinction of Israel? No, of course not.
Did Obama stand by his previous proclamations to "forge partnerships as opposed to simply dictating solutions," as he told the G-20 summit or as he told al-Arabiya, America will henceforth "start by listening, because all too often the United States starts by dictating." This has been Obama's approach to Iran, Russia, Cuba, Syria, and Venezuela. On the other, Obama's claim of an "unbreakable bond" with Israel comes with dictating that Israel freeze all settlement activity.
Obama continues to be a phony and weak in international relations, afraid to deal decisively with enemies and those that support Islamic Terrorists, bowing and kissing the ass of dictators and turning on allies.
