Astonishing. this is a man who made a speech in june 2009 in cairo, a speech which was distinctly touchy-feely. since then, nobody seems to have considered for five minutes in the state department or in the white house that mr. mubarak would be overthrown. this was a scenario that was being considered in israel last year. i think a question has to be asked about why it wasn t being considered by the national security council. what are these people paid to do? we got a lot of reaction to this interview yesterday with neal ferguson. joining us now from washington, dr. zbigniew brzezinski. hi, dad. good morning. hey, morning, mika. the cover of newsweek talks about how obama blew is in egypt. you just heard a little bit from the reporter that we had on yesterday who spelled out what he thought was a disastrous turn of events when it comes to white house policy and approach. would you agree with that? look, first of all, we don t know how this is going to turn ....
Arabia, other countries. $100 billion more. why is he doing it? there s a couple of things. it s about security and diplomacy. right now, you know, he s throwing, you know, fuel into a tinder box. but also it has a lot to do with the economy. he s shoring up the job picture. in other words, you know, these big contracts for boeing and general dynamics are great for employment in the united states. that s not lost on the president. you have to wonder the implications of that going forward. we armed the egyptian army. what s the egyptian army going to be doing? no one knows. how do these things get authorized? what has to happen to make it get there? there s a couple of things going on. we re talking about sales from private companies to foreign military. that has to get approved through washington, through the defense department and vetted. each contract does get vetted? that s correct. there s things you can t do. ....
