It has been seven days since the military ousted President Morsi in Egypt. It has been nine days since the military gave notice that it would oust Morsi. The Obama administration has still not decided whether it was a coup (no aid) or not (aid). Time and again Obama has not shaped world events by acting, he reacts. Here, reaction, from lack of anticipation, is not the explanation. He had two days notice and has had seven days since. This is incompetence.
