ROTFLMFAO!!!!
That's _priceless_ even for an ignorant partisan twat like you!

Um, do we need some further clarification?
Because it appears no reporter "badgered" Leon Panetta into saying this
a month ago...

Cairo: Egypt�s new defence minister has pledged his �unwavering
commitment� to the American-Egyptian military alliance, US Defence
Secretary Leon Panetta said.
General Abdul Fatah Al Sissi also �stressed that he takes seriously
Egypt�s obligations under the Camp David Treaty� with Israel, Panetta
said, recounting at a Pentagon news conference yesterday a phone
conversation with the general.
Voicing confidence that the Pentagon can work with the new military
leaders, Panetta said Al Sissi �expressed his unwavering commitment to
the US -Egypt mil-to-mil relationship, which has been really an anchor
of stability in the Middle East for more than 30 years.�

Um no, she did not "misspeak" at all:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_non-NATO_ally
Major non-NATO ally (MNNA) is a designation given by the United States
government to close allies who have strategic working relationships with
US Armed Forces but are not members of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO). While the MNNA status does not automatically
include a mutual defense pact with the United States, it does confer a
variety of military and financial advantages that otherwise are not
obtainable by non-NATO countries.
The following countries have been designated as major non-NATO allies of
the United States (in order of their appointment):
Named by George H. W. Bush
Egypt (1989)
Is it to much for Obama to at least use wikipedia before he bumbles out
some idiocy on the international stage?

You're a really practiced liar, aren't you?

But of course that has not occurred nor has it been officially acted upon.
Any more fairy tales for your Obamessiah?

That's funny, or it would be if it were true, but it's not.
He's an empty suit who doesn't have a clue what he's doing geo-politically.

"This lady" is in no tougher a spot than Leon Panetta.
You, otoh, are a dumb, lying, propagandist twat.
