SRENNAPS... Mr Andrew North of the BBC seems to be ignoring a giant problem with his "US hypocrisy" thesis.
The US and Egypt have been close friends and allies for a couple of decades now, with the US considering Mubarak and his government as "essential allies in the Middle East".
But Obama (and most of the rest of the US) urged Mubarak to resign, and provided moral and diplomatic support for the uprising.
This is a stark contrast to his portrayal of "the US is supporting regimes it is friendly to and opposing those it is not friendly to".
