This is deliberate:
"Frank Wisner, President Barack Obama's envoy to Cairo who infuriated the White House this weekend by urging Hosni Mubarak to remain President of Egypt, works for a New York and Washington law firm which works for the dictator's own Egyptian government."
As one critic asked rhetorically, "Do the US lack diplomats" or what?
I would like to blame this on Obama's advisors, and certainly Hillary knew, but it's still Obama's fault. This is the kind of thing that drives people of the Mideast nuts. They're not as dumb as those in power think. They get it.
The question is: Do we?
Obama scrambles to limit damage after Frank Wisner makes robust call for Mubarak to remain in place as leader.
