18. The administration backed Mubarak until the very end -

to the point at which it was obvious he wouldn't survive politically.

I think there's a lot to criticize this administration over (and I've been fiercely critical and frustrated over the NSA spying), but Egypt is simply way too far chaotic for this administration to control. I've heard plenty of silly accusations that the US "put the Brotherhood in place" or that Huma was a Brotherhood spy. It goes on and on.

The US government seeks stability - and a government that gets along with Israel - over all else. That's why we've seen few changes regarding military aid over the past several years of political upheaval in the country.
