There is a growing split on US policy toward Egypt between Secretary of State John Kerry and the White House National Security Council, with National Security Adviser Susan Rice bringing the dispute increasingly public.
Rice was very clearly uncomfortable with Egypt’s military coup, urging a return to “elected democratic government” and insisting the US couldn’t maintain business as usual with the junta.
That position seems to have support among others on the NSC, but Kerry has been very public in his support for the junta, and as the top US official actually going to Egypt, he seems contented to call the shots.
That explains the split between the administration cutting aid to the junta and Kerry acting like nothing is wrong with US-Egypt relations, they reflect two dueling factions within the administration, both of which are trying to push their own agenda to the fore.
Looks like Kerry is just like any other secretary of state, once in office they only see the Israeli angle and the hell with American ideals that they tried to cram down other countries throats.
Thanks for clearing that up Interventionist Ditz! I was so 'confused' before….
So…John Kerry and Susan Rice are 'really' POTUS….interesting….
So then…this all begs the question: who overthrew Terrorist Morsi exactly?
Was it:
-Rice?
-Kerry?
-Obama?
I'm going to have to go with "The Egyptian People" and the "peaceful protesters" here…

What a complete fool and inciter of violence Terrorist Morsi was…wasn't he Ditz?
Or it’s a smokescreen, a thing designed to blind the mind by burning the emotions, all to hide the fact that we are a corporate dictatorship ruled by the corporate rich.
To consider that Ms. Susan Rice is an expert in foreign policy is fallacious to begin with. Her past statements and actions reflect an ignorance of the real world. At least Mr. Kerry has met enough "foreign" diplomats to realize that the US does not dictate world policies anymore.
